Overview
LLamasoft Supply Chain Guru is supply chain design software originally developed by LLamasoft. Coupa acquired LLamasoft in November 2020 and now presents the technology through its Supply Chain Design and Planning portfolio.
The software creates structured models of supply chain networks. Organizations can use those models to evaluate facilities, products, demand, sourcing, transportation, inventory, capacity, service levels, cost, risk, and sustainability assumptions.
Supply Chain Guru X was introduced in 2017 as a successor to the earlier Supply Chain Guru product. It incorporated capabilities from LLamasoft’s LogicNet Plus and CAST applications.
