This award profiles innovative case study-type projects designed to automate, optimize, streamline and improve the supply chain.

WASHINGTON, DC – June 17, 2024 – Plantensive, a premier supply chain and retail planning solutions provider, was named by Supply & Demand Chain Executive and Food Logistics as a winner of this year’s Top Supply Chain Projects award. The award profiles innovative case study projects designed to automate, optimize, streamline and improve the supply chain.

This year, Plantensive’s award-winning project is for a food manufacturer that needed to re-engineer their supply chain planning processes. The client required an end-to-end supply chain planning platform to enable more responsive capabilities and scenario planning. Since partnering with Plantensive, the project has led to redesigned sales and operations planning processes and individual functional workflows, resulting in a shorter decision cycle, improved forecast accuracy and reduced operational expenses. The project has also generated more advanced capabilities in ingredient planning and production capacity that optimizes production and reduces waste. To ensure this client gained ingredient-level visibility in planning finished goods, Plantensive orchestrated the design and enablement of collaborative planning with more than 100 co-manufacturers.

“The past 12 months has seen companies within the supply chain and logistics space upgrade, enhance, adopt and adapt in order to achieve greater efficiency along the chain. Companies implemented others’ software and technology to work smarter, together. Their partnerships cultivated resilience and placed a spotlight on projects designed to make the supply chain space safer and more efficient,” said Marina Mayer, editor-in-chief of Supply & Demand Chain Executive and Food Logistics. “And, now it’s time to celebrate those projects!”

This award marks Plantensive’s 4th win in this category for the Top Supply Chain Projects award. Earlier this year, Plantensive’s managing partner, Dan Luttner was named by Supply & Demand Chain Executive as a 2024 Pros to Know. Supply & Demand Chain Executive is the only publication covering the entire global supply chain, and Food Logistics is the only publication exclusively dedicated to covering the movement of product through the global cold food supply chain.

“We are thrilled to be a recipient of the 2024 Top Supply Chain Projects Award by Supply & Demand Chain Executive,” said Derek Cesarz, managing partner at Plantensive. “This recognition underscores our dedication to providing outstanding supply chain solutions that yield measurable benefits for our clients. Our commitment remains steadfast in assisting our clients with strategy, optimization, implementation and comprehensive supply chain management to facilitate accelerated growth.”
