Spinnaker Announces Increased Demand for its Supply Chain Services as a Result of Record Savings Achieved for its Clients

Spinnaker Shares Client Successes at JDA’s FOCUS 2011 Conference, Including Helping Clients Reduce Inventory by More than $750 Million

Denver, Colorado, May 2, 2011 – Spinnaker, a global leader in supply chain consulting and execution services, announced record growth and demand for its supply chain services today at the JDA FOCUS 2011 conference.
In 2010, Spinnaker helped some of the largest clients in the Retail, Consumer Goods, High Tech, Energy, and Life Sciences industries re-invigorate their supply chains. With increasing interest in all aspects of supply chain consulting and execution services from a variety of industries, Spinnaker anticipates 2011 to be another banner year. Spinnaker attributes this increase to the fact that many companies are looking for experienced service providers that can deliver significant cost savings and overall margin improvement to their clients in a recovering economy.

Over the past year, Spinnaker has helped its clients to achieve more than $750 million in capital cost reductions via improved planning efficiency and inventory reductions. These improvements have enabled Spinnaker clients to remain competitive in a challenging economic landscape.  

“Successful supply chain initiatives that drive significant cost savings, free up working capital, and enhance organizational cohesiveness are the hallmark of what Spinnaker delivers to its clients,” said George Fowler, Principal at Spinnaker. “Spinnaker clients have access to many of the industry’s most recognized Supply Chain innovators, all under one roof. For companies who have not reassessed their supply chains in the past few years, combining targeted supply chain consulting expertise with the most recent supply chain software technology can produce a real competitive advantage for a relatively small investment.”

Spinnaker provides a comprehensive set of implementation services for the JDA suite of planning products through the latest 7.7 version. Spinnaker will have a significant presence at JDA’s FOCUS 2011 event, where it will discuss its client successes delivering its portfolio of JDA-related services that include: Strategic Advanced Planning and Road-mapping, Business Process Optimization, Functional and Technical Implementation Services, as well as the most recent addition to its service platform, 24/7 Post-implementation Support.

“We’re looking forward to JDA’s FOCUS 2011 event, particularly in light of our recent growth and success. The event is the perfect venue for sharing our case studies with industry peers and perspective clients, as well as the supply chain savings we’ve been able to achieve for our clients,” said George Fowler.
