Easily Achieving Rapid ROI with Key Milestones
John Galt’s Walk, Drive, Fly methodology provides a systematic process that helps our customers continually grow and assess their business via a series of measured steps. Specifically developed for mid-market companies, this methodology is focused on achieving ROI from day one through a series of well-defined and measurable milestones captured in planning templates.

WALK – Identify and Create
John Galt believes that the foundation of any plan is its forecast. In the Walk stage, our customers use the ForecastX Wizard to quickly and easily develop their baseline forecasts. For more advanced customers the Walk phase concentrates on mapping out the forecasting and supply chain planning process.

DRIVE – Manage and Measure The Drive stage guides and manages the business by automating the supply chain planning process using our Atlas Planning Suite. John Galt concentrates on measuring the effectiveness of the forecasting and inventory management processes, determining the gaps and adjusting accordingly. At the end of the Drive stage you will have the ability to measure the impact of your planning process on your business.

FLY – Extend and Create The Fly stage advances planning to deliver a competitive advantage and enhance profitability. It expands the planning process to include sales, customers, suppliers and other entities within the extended supply chain. We use the Planning Portal as the vehicle for communicating results and soliciting feedback. For more advanced customers, the Fly phase aligns the extended supply chain using sales and operations planning as well as Point of Sale (POS) forecasting. At the end of the Fly stage your company will be aligned to one shared forecast and supply chain performance will be dramatically improved.
