“Now more than ever, manufacturers need to be responsive and agile to market demands, drive business growth and manage shifting supply chains. Companies that adopt smart manufacturing technology are in the best position to succeed in these business conditions,” said Bill Berutti, Plex Systems CEO. “This recognition from Constellation Research validates the efforts and commitment Plex has made to support manufacturers who are in a constant state of change and need to consistently deliver for their customers.”

“Plex has given us the visibility to know exactly who’s ordering what, the status of our supply chain and production, and what it’s going to take for us to keep service levels at 99 percent for a growing customer base,” said Marcus Merchant, Director of IT, Olde Thompson, the world’s largest salt and pepper shaker manufacturer and a leading manufacturer of private label and branded dry spices and seasonings. “It’s an essential platform for the future of our business.”

“As leaders adjust to a compressed state of digital transformation, they want to know which vendors matter the most based on technology investment, use cases, strategic vision, customer value, executive leadership and price,” noted R “Ray” Wang, chairman and founder at Constellation Research. “Our analysts have a pulse on what’s working, what’s not and are constantly in touch with other buy side executives. The ShortList™ does this in the most efficient and effective manner."

Products and services named to the Constellation ShortList meet the threshold criteria for this category as determined through client inquiries, partner conversations, customer references, vendor selection projects, market share and internal research.
