Cornerstone Building Brands, a leading manufacturer of exterior building materials in North America, has announced a strategic initiative to integrate ToolsGroup and River Logic's technologies into its operations. This move is designed to optimize the company's entire value chain, from supply chain design to manufacturing footprint and probabilistic planning and execution. The initiative underscores Cornerstone's commitment to operational excellence and financial performance.
The collaboration involves two of Cornerstone's business units, Aperture Solutions – U.S. and Shelter Solutions, which will implement the combined solutions from ToolsGroup and River Logic. Christopher Gonzales, vice president of Operations & Supply Chain for Shelter Solutions, highlighted the potential of this partnership to revolutionize the company's supply chain planning. By integrating River Logic's supply chain network design and financial analytics with ToolsGroup's demand planning and inventory optimization, Cornerstone aims to achieve a more resilient and profitable operation.
ToolsGroup CEO, Inna Kuznetzova, emphasized the importance of a robust partner ecosystem in delivering end-to-end supply chain solutions. Similarly, Carlos Centurion, President of River Logic, pointed out the synergistic benefits of combining their Value Chain Optimization solution with ToolsGroup's supply chain planning capabilities. This partnership is expected to provide Cornerstone with the tools needed for extended network design, strategic financial planning, and operational supply chain simulation.
For those interested in learning more about these innovative solutions, the upcoming Gartner Supply Chain Symposium in Orlando, Florida, from May 6-8, will feature a presentation by Christopher Gonzales. ToolsGroup and River Logic are also offering attendees the opportunity to book a meeting to explore how their technologies can transform supply chain operations.
This strategic adoption of advanced technologies by Cornerstone Building Brands represents a significant step forward in supply chain optimization. By leveraging the combined expertise of ToolsGroup and River Logic, the company is poised to enhance its operational efficiency, reduce costs, and improve service levels, setting a new standard for the industry.
