§ dassault systèmes is set to develop a data management platform, which will further help quintiq customers to capture and enforce clean and reliable data to create supply and demand plans, and enhance the capabilities to manage the entire logistics of the its operations .
unfortunately, a corporate takeover by dassault systemes promises to remove the quintiq culture. work - life balance depends on your project. long days, late nights, travel, and even weekend work can be necessary and sometimes common. additional work both within and beyond your own project is expected, to assist others. in return, quintiq compensated with time - for - time (paid overtime or extra time off). but, time - for - time is being taken away. in fact, management has approached employees on this with some aggression, and we' ll lose earned time - for - time retroactively from the beginning of the year. as opposed to quintiq' s culture, dassault systemes evidently prefers a standard corporate top - down approach .
paris (reuters) - dassault systemes is to buy business planning software company quintiq, its second acquisition this month, taking the french management solutions company into the metals, mining, oil and gas, rail delivery and freight industries for the first time .
on 24 july 2014, dassault systèmes (ds), a french design and product life cycle management vendor, announced that it plans to acquire quintiq, a dutch planning and optimization vendor with strong supply chain credentials. the deal is due to complete in september 2014 .
initially, that meant inviting several companies to a seminar, where he showcased the product software to give a taste of what it could do. today, quintiq is signing up international retail giants as well as customers from the mining, manufacturing, metal, transport and logistics industries .
quintiq has a very flat structure, which is great because you work among your equals. as you gain experience, you will be given additional responsibilities. but, your official title won' t change. some people want to move up a structured managerial latter as they put in their time. i would say that quintiq does not follow this structure. sales cycles are battles of attrition, but the rewards are huge. this means that the difference between a good year and a bad year is often whether or not your business unit had a single sale .
while they developed the product, they took on contracting work — consulting on business processes — which earned enough money to pay the interest on the loan until they were ready to go to market. two years down the line, the product was ready and quintiq signed its first contract .
250 million. with 800 employees, quintiq, whose offerings include production, logistics and workforce planning applications, is rated as a leader in the market by top industry analysts and its solutions are used today by 250 customers, at 1, 000 sites, in more than 90 countries .
you will be involved at every stage of the implementation, from determining the compatibility of quintiq with the customers’ existing solutions during the pre - sales cycle, to troubleshooting following go - live. you will be assigned to a project team. you will report directly to the team manager .
the logic factory offers customers utilizing a quintiq scp & o a flexible, fully integrated range of software maintenance, support and control services. service levels are fully customizable and can include anything from corrective maintenance and incident management to out regular preventive check - ups and pro - active system management .
founded in 1997, quintiq seeks to solve supply planning puzzles for large and complex companies. its customers include chip tool maker asml, cement group lafarge, and steelmaker arcelormittal. it also plans and optimizes operations for delivery groups dhl and tnt, global retailer walmart and the federal aviation administration .
different puzzles call for different methods. taking only one approach to optimization is never the right approach. get a faster roi and better quality plans when you rely on quintiq’s optimization technology. it combines optimization technologies and techniques in a way that means you’ll always get the optimal solution to your puzzle .
with approximately 350 employees worldwide, $ 45 million in revenues, and scm software products in use at over 500 sites in 77 countries, quintiq is a small privately held software vendor with a short history. nonetheless, the company has an impressive list of customers with marquee brands which include the following :
again the collaborative feature doesn' t have all the robust functionality of other demand management software solutions. quintiq does have provisions built into the architecture that support it standards to share data with other business systems; but, this does not address the more robust and sophisticated collaborative features to be considered a best practice .
arjen heeres, quintiq coo: “we can strategically help airports determine at what level they should invest in new infrastructure, for example. we can also assist on a practical level with capacity planning and staff rostering, while on an operational level, we can help minimise the effects of last minute disruptions in real - time. ”
the solution helps to manage production, logistics, or the workforce, spanning from strategic, to tactical, to operational. quintiq' s supply chain planning & optimization works to support the needs of businesses, no matter the industry, size, or functionality requirements. the planning interface allows departments to collaborate and communicate common goals .
ds' s vision is a bold one that should be valuable to users. ds is likely to maintain quintiq' s value. it will probably successfully articulate a strong vision to customers and prospects. but the challenge for ds will be delivering this vision to the market and selling it to organizations at the right level of readiness .
having completed his phd in artificial intelligence, allis was lured by the puzzles of the business world and joined a knowledge technology firm as a senior consultant and manager. but when that business rejected his big idea in 1997, he joined up with four computer programmers to form quintiq and got to work creating a custom - made scheduling application .
attracting bright minds with phds and master’s degrees, quintiq’s recruitment process is rigorous, with puzzles and practical tests a key part of the process. “we are also looking for a cultural fit, ” says allis, “so we like people who are open but also show humility and want to win for the team and not just for themselves. ”
quintiq offers a variety of features to monitor the management of supply chains, including optimization capabilities. its real - time planning environment includes a propagation engine that calculates and visually displays the consequences of potential or real - time changes and events. this scenario planning can help businesses visualize the effect of certain changes before these changes are put into place .
quintiq brings it all together. it’s one planning system to cover every aspect of planning, from long - term strategic plans to short - term schedules and disruption management. every department and every user can customize the interface and the information visible to suit preferences and requirements. plans are updated in real - time for company - wide transparency and collaboration .
§ dassault systèmes’ acquisition in the core manufacturing operations software space have included intercim (2011), apriso (2013) and now quintiq (2014). these acquisitions have enabled dassault systèmes to add at least $ 4 - 6 bn in additional addressable market. this will potentially increase dassault systèmes addressable market to ~ $ 36 - 41 bn market .
the company now employs 700 people and has operations in more than 20 countries. while allis is dutch, he is now based at the company’s us office in pennsylvania and sees his role today as maintaining the original quintiq ethos of approaching each conundrum with a fresh, innovative approach — something he has been careful to instill in his army of engineers and programmers .
quintiq multi - level supply chain optimization software provides planners visibility into all aspects of the supply chain, and enables real - time management and optimization of production capacities, raw materials, and order fulfillment. the product mix optimization solution, using the macro planner, helps to identify the ideal product portfolio to maximize profits. macro planner also addresses optimal safety stock levels and customer service levels .
by using a range of data inputs to spot patterns and use resources more efficiently, quintiq was able to help businesses optimize their supply chain and logistics, and therefore save them time and money. “if you look at the role of business, whether it is about making products, moving things or deploying people, there’s always an enormous puzzle: how do we get everything to flow optimally? ”
about shaun joughin shaun joughin is a senior logistics consultant at quintiq emea. he is a planning expert in various segments of the logistics industry including postal, maritime, and intermodal transport. but shaun’s passion lies with the maritime sector, where he has been helping companies improve their bottom line through improved planning on both the landside and shipping areas of the transportation market. he holds a degree in mathematics from durham university in the uk .
ds' s latest acquisition will enable it to expand into the supply chain management market, and supply chain planning in particular. quintiq is a strong vendor in planning, scheduling and optimization — its solution can address most planning problems through its functional depth and configurability, and its talent pool is deep. ds believes that, through planning and execution, it can create value for customers by connecting all business processes from product / service innovation, design and production to final delivery .
quintiq supply chain design lets customers perform strategic long - term scm plans and make informed decisions regarding major activities such as capital investments, portfolio product mix, inventory levels, outsourcing, and customer service strategies. multi - scenario functionality lets customers generate' what - if' supply chain configurations that cover production sites, suppliers, inbound and outbound logistics, warehouses, distribution centers and more. the different scenarios can be analyzed to determine their impact on profits, costs, inventory levels and delivery performance .
quintiq s & op; solution is based on their macro planner module and outputs from demand forecasting. macro planner reaches a balance between demand and supply chain capabilities, and addresses safety stock levels and available to promise. software feature sets address inventory optimization, strategic plans, resource capacity, sourcing, distribution and multiple scenario
what if
contingencies. the dynamic performance analysis module allows planners to monitor results based on key performance indicators (kpi), thus allowing for midcourse corrections in the s & op; plans .
there are many cross - synergies between dassault systèmes, apriso and quintiq in terms of solution offerings, customer business drivers and industry challenges. the capability to deliver solutions from product conception to planning, optimization and delivery, provides a comprehensive technology platform for customers. very few companies have a semblance of similar solution offerings, and those that do are facing significant integration challenges. realistically, it will likely take at least 2 - 3 years for dassault systèmes to realize the impact of this solution strategy and how it will positively impact the operating margins of the organization .
in the longer term, ds will talk about
business operations planning
in its delmia business group. it will try to use quintiq to drive planning across all types of resources at every level, linking ds product design and manufacturing / logistics execution capability (from its apriso acquisition). converging these areas may create synergy if ds executes well. however, big acquisition strategies are rarely successful. ds has a good track record of keeping acquired talent, but it will probably take years to pull off this ambitious convergence strategy — if it does at all .
quintiq takes a somewhat unique architectural approach that breaks up their supply chain planning software into three layers. the first layer has many of the features of a soa platform, the second layer addresses industry practices with a number of different market templates and the third layer is the customer specific layer. imbedded in the first layer are a planning platform consisting of a demand, macro, company and schedule planning modules, and an optimization platform with math algorithms, analytics, an event propagator, a business modeler, workflow and other functionalities. the underlying architecture powers many of the unique business processes and software capabilities .
“jps selection are the most tenacious, well - mannered and supportive recruitment consultants i have the experience of working with. all too often, recruitment consultancies don’t listen to what their clients want (and we the candidates, are as much their clients as the prospective company). jps selection are one of the few exceptions in this industry. throughout the recruitment process to join quintiq, they coached, listened to my concerns, answered my questions clearly and supported me continuously. at all stages, i knew where the potential interview pitfalls lay and with their guidance, successfully got the job. i have no hesitation recommending jps selection to prospective candidates. ”
second, build a network that goes beyond technical specialists. it doesn’t have to be big, but it has to be diverse. foster relationships with experienced and successful people outside of your field. what you learn from your connections in construction, advertising, finance, and so on will help you to become a well - rounded leader with the broad skillset needed in the c - suite. and give you a much deeper understanding of the world in which your customers and employees operate. even when i was leading quintiq’s r & d, i made sure to spend about half of my time out in the field, to keep myself, my team and the technology grounded in reality .
central to this vision is the ability to solve each planning puzzle using a single supply chain planning and optimisation software platform. “we optimise and plan larger operations with multiple planning puzzles, each of which have some
heeres’ concluding sentiment was that optimisation is typically underestimated, but the benefits are tangible. “you need to be precise in capturing the operation of an airport. that requires quite some work, but my recommendation is look into it and really make the effort to understand why, if you put the effort in, the rewards can be enormous. ”

data management addresses the basics, but may not have all the bells and whistles that sap, oracle and jda include in their demand management solutions. there are features to accept statistical data from other systems, share forecasts throughout the organization and handle multi - forecast scenarios .
victor allis solved his first rubik’s cube at a very early age. while at school, in between earning a few dutch guilders tutoring older students in mathematics, he represented the netherlands in the international mathematical olympiad and finished 14th in the world .
it was clear the boy had talent. “when i got to university, i started to create programs that played thinking games, programs that played chess, connect four, go and all sorts of weird games, ” he remembers. “
the question is always, how do you outwit your opponents? so in 1988, i wrote a program that played connect four perfectly .
i was always intrigued by how you have a puzzle that has an enormous number of possibilities and how you find the optimal path to the solution. for those who subscribe to malcolm gladwell’s outlier theory, which holds that successful people are defined by insatiable hunger for their subject allied with relentless practice, then victor allis is living proof .
he’s one of the very few academics to have translated their natural intellect into business success. today, it is a background that makes him stand out in the business world .
while many leaders would focus on sales and marketing, allis takes a rigorous and scientific approach to perfecting the product, ensuring that it always provides the best possible solution. for allis, this is a prerequisite for success and growth .
keen to keep 100% control of the business, the founders avoided asking for venture capital in order to fund it. instead, each put a sum into the company, supported by a substantial bank loan .
find out how collaboration between the cfo and supply chain – and all disciplines – is indispensable, in our report, partnering for performance: the cfo and the supply chain .
allis explains: “what we find is that when a business gets to a certain complexity, it needs to change. so we made a single software application that can solve all those puzzles .
operations were expanded beyond europe to the us and then asia, where allis sees exceptional opportunities — not just to grow consumer markets, but also to tap into the extraordinary talent and energy of the emerging graduate class there to provide the next wave of programming geniuses. growth came, allis says, through being able to demonstrate the power of the product .
“i’ve found that, if you start by trusting people, you get a lot of trust back, ” he says. “if you start by distrusting people, they start trying to work around the rules .
so i think control is not an effective baseline to manage a business. it’s an inefficient way, because what you’re trying to do is stop people from doing things they want to do. ”
of course, this places greater pressure on executives to find the right talent. allis, though, is unperturbed. “all i can do is help hire the right people and make an environment where you want to be .
then i can support the right initiatives and maybe slow down some of the wrong ones. ” that working environment is one where there is a no - blame culture and where individuals are encouraged to be confident and experiment .
allis’ meticulous approach has its origins in his academic background, which, it should be said, does not conform to the stereotypical back story of the successful entrepreneur. “i never grew up thinking i wanted to be a businessman or an entrepreneur, ” he admits .
but he says his insatiable desire for the next challenge did free him from the fear of failure that restricts many of those with a good idea but doubts about their ability to carry it off. it’s certainly clear allis has extraordinary drive .
when he’s not solving puzzles, he relaxes by doing endurance running, and in his youth he played in the team that won the dutch basketball championship in 1979 .
the experience taught allis an important lesson: “it left me with a feeling that if you want to achieve something and are able to set your mind on it, there’s no good reason why you shouldn’t try. ” it is a lesson that has served him well in business .
as allis looks out from the window of his 12th - story office in den bosch in the netherlands, he ruminates on where the company can go next. has he completed the puzzle ?
“no, not yet. i think there will probably be more puzzles in more areas. right now, we don’t think we will change course in the next 5 or 10 years. ”
allis is most concerned about maintaining the business’s innovative edge. “i don’t worry too much about the long - term future, but i worry every single day about what we’re missing today that we could do to be better next quarter or next year, ” he says .
it comes back down again to the view that if the product is as perfect as it can be, success in the rest of the business should follow. “some people say you can be either an entrepreneur or a manager. i don’t think that is necessarily true. ”
“entrepreneurs are people who say ‘why not? i can do that’ and think outside the box. managers are diligent people who hold to their promises and do the things that are needed. ”
