In a strategic move to enhance supply chain resilience and customer service, global construction solutions provider LATICRETE has partnered with John Galt Solutions to implement the Atlas Planning Platform. The decision reflects a growing trend among manufacturers to adopt digital planning tools in response to global supply chain disruptions and rising customer expectations.
Founded in 1956, LATICRETE has built a reputation for technical innovation and premium-quality products used in some of the world’s most iconic architectural projects. Its portfolio includes advanced tile and stone installation systems, surface care solutions, concrete preparation technologies, and the SUPERCAP® self-leveling system. The company’s materials have supported landmark developments such as the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, Malaysia’s Petronas Towers, and Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands.
As the company expanded globally, it faced increasing challenges in managing a complex supply chain. Fluctuating raw material availability, longer lead times, and a growing number of SKUs made it difficult to maintain optimal service levels. To address these issues, LATICRETE selected the Atlas Planning Platform to modernize its supply chain operations.
The platform has been integrated into LATICRETE’s North American division, where it is already delivering measurable improvements. According to Alex Rothberg, Senior Integration Manager at LATICRETE, “As we expand into new markets and broaden our product portfolio, our supply chain becomes more complex, and we needed a planning platform to support that vision. The Atlas Planning Platform provides the advanced capabilities and visibility we need to deliver the highest levels of service while positioning ourselves for long-term success”.
Atlas enables LATICRETE to improve demand forecasting, enhance visibility into supply chain risks, and align inventory levels more closely with customer needs. These enhancements have led to better fill rates and improved on-time-in-full (OTIF) performance, directly impacting customer satisfaction and project reliability.
The adoption of Atlas also marks a cultural shift within the company. Rothberg noted that the platform fosters proactive, data-driven decision-making, allowing teams to anticipate changes rather than react to them. This agility is especially important in industries with technically complex products and specialized formulations.
Matt Hoffman, Vice President of Product and Industry Solutions at John Galt Solutions, emphasized the significance of the partnership: “LATICRETE operates in one of the most complex supply chains in the building industry. The diversity of products, the intricacy of formulations, and the scope of their global operations all demand a solution that is agile and precise. Atlas provides the clarity and adaptability necessary to manage these demands effectively while supporting their continued legacy of excellence”.
Looking ahead, LATICRETE plans to expand its use of Atlas across global operations, aiming to unify planning processes and support continued growth. The company’s move sets a precedent for how legacy manufacturers can embrace digital transformation to meet modern supply chain demands.
As the construction sector continues to evolve, LATICRETE’s investment in advanced planning technology demonstrates a commitment to operational excellence and customer-centric service. The collaboration with John Galt Solutions positions the company to navigate future challenges with confidence and precision.
