What Our Clients Say
Critical to stabilizing the supply planning function
Looking back at everything ScaleUp helped me to achieve, here are few of the highlights: Designed a solid Supply Planning Process capable of supporting multiple "what-if" scenarios that ultimately led to decision making. Designed a robust yet flexible end-to-end supply planning tool that provides a holistic view while supporting planning for every supply chain node. Almost a year has passed since a successful launch and the processes and the supply tool proved their capabilities—I am still using the same processes and planning tool to launch in multiple EU markets. I cannot speak highly enough about ScaleUp and their management and execution team.
