Case Study: NETGEAR achieves 80% forecast accuracy and 99.5% on-time delivery with John Galt Solutions' Atlas Planning Suite

How NETGEAR Improved Forecast Accuracy and Supply Chain Efficiencies

NETGEAR, a public computer hardware and software company, faced a complex global supply-chain problem across three product lines (retail, commercial, service providers) with aggressive new product introductions, long production lead times and 300–800 components per product. Forecast accuracy was only about 70%, leading to shortages and missed deliveries. To address this, NETGEAR selected John Galt Solutions’ Atlas Planning Suite.

John Galt Solutions implemented the Atlas Planning Suite globally, on time and on budget, delivering a flexible S&OP system with advanced inventory modeling, collaboration and user personalization. As a result NETGEAR’s forecast accuracy rose from 70% to 80%, on-time deliveries reached 99.5%, the company scaled new product introductions without increasing the operations team, and overall supply-chain responsiveness and efficiency improved measurably.
