Home decor retailer to use LLamasoft for supply chain design

   The supply chain design software provider LLamasoft said Thursday that the home furnishings Internet retailer Wayfair has selected LLamasoft’s Transportation Guru product for supply chain network design and transportation route optimization throughout the company’s global enterprise.
   Boston-based Wayfair offers more than 12,000 brands, with nearly $1 billion in revenue in 2013, and has warehouse and corporate locations across the United States and in Australia, Germany, Ireland and the United Kingdom.
   “After a rigorous evaluation of several supply chain modeling applications, we chose LLamasoft for its impressive performance across product functionality, ease of use and customer service,” said David Raymond, vice president of operations transformation at Wayfair. “Not only does Transportation Guru integrate network optimization and vehicle route optimization, but it will also simplify our data input and output analysis, enabling us to quickly identify opportunities for freight savings in our supply chain.”
