Case Study: Sumitomo Corporation of Americas achieves inventory resilience and better service with Optilogic Cosmic Frog

Sumitomo Corporation of Americas optimizes 20+ locations with Optilogic

Sumitomo Corporation of Americas faced significant inventory challenges within its complex global supply chain. Operating in a competitive landscape with fluctuating customer demand, the company struggled to balance the risks of holding too much inventory against the costs of stockouts. Traditional inventory optimization methods, which relied on assumptions of average demand and guaranteed service, consistently failed in the real world, leaving the company in need of a more resilient strategy. This led them to partner with vendor Optilogic.

Using Optilogic's Cosmic Frog platform and its cloud-native inventory optimization module, Sumitomo was able to run unlimited simulations in a risk-free environment. This solution allowed them to model real-world scenarios, optimize inventory levels across more than 20 locations in the Americas, and centralize product flow. Optilogic empowered Sumitomo to convert inventory into "ready money" by providing the data needed to build a new inventory strategy that effectively balances risk, cost, and service, building resilience into every step of their supply chain.
