Achieving true end-to-end supply chain planning is no small feat, especially for a company built on mass customization – each PING club has countless configuration options. In this exclusive SupplyChainBrain interview, PING shares how it transformed a fragmented planning environment into a unified, insight-driven operation with the help of John Galt Solutions’ Atlas Planning Platform.
Robert Bowman of SupplyChainBrain sat down with Scott Niemann, Forecasting Manager at PING, and Matt Hoffman, Vice President of Product and Industry Solutions at John Galt Solutions, to discuss PING’s supply chain journey. PING, a global leader in premium golf equipment headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, faced a familiar challenge: disconnected systems and legacy processes made it difficult to align demand and supply planning and see how forecasts translated into component procurement decisions.
By implementing the Atlas Planning Platform, PING brought demand planning, supply planning, scenario modeling, and material planning into a single, centralized platform. The result is true end-to-end visibility, from high-level demand forecasts to assembly plans and component-level buys, while supporting PING’s highly complex product portfolio.
With Atlas, PING is able to:
- Centralize demand and supply planning in one integrated platform
- Flow forecasts seamlessly from model level to SKU and component level
- Run multiple scenarios to support better decision-making
- Level-load production across global manufacturing and assembly sites
- Enable collaboration between marketing demand planners and supply planners
- Tailor views and workflows to different user roles without custom code
In the interview, Scott explains how Atlas Planning Platform empowers planners to manage extreme product complexity with confidence, while improving visibility and accountability across teams.
Looking ahead, PING is building on this foundation with advanced scenario planning and AI capabilities.
