DeCrane Aerospace Selects Steelwedge Software for OnDemand Collaborative Sales Forecasting and Performance Management

PLEASANTON, CA, Oct 23 (MARKET WIRE) --
Steelwedge Software, the leader in Sales Planning and Performance
Management solutions, announced today that PATS Aircraft Completions, a
division of DeCrane Aerospace, is deploying Steelwedge to support its
collaborative sales forecasting, performance management, and S&OP
processes.

DeCrane Aerospace is the world leader in interiors for Business Jets &
Executive Aviation. DeCrane Aerospace selected Steelwedge to improve
forecast accuracy, on-time delivery and profitability. Steelwedge
solution will enable DeCrane to consolidate and manage planning inputs
from sales, finance and operations in a single S&OP platform.

The initial phase of the solution roll-out will focus on creating a more
accurate sales forecast. Sales executives and planners will use Steelwedge
to capture and forecast unit demand and revenues at the customer/level and
measure actual performance against plan. The solution will also allow for
integrating planned deals from their sales opportunity pipeline into the
overall forecast. Executive management will use Steelwedge to review,
approve and adjust forecasts and to align them with sales and operational
plans.

Follow-on phases of the roll-out will integrate supply planning and rough
cut capacity planning. "We were looking for a best-in-class scalable
planning platform with a high ROI that is extremely easy to use," said Tom
Spencer, VP of Manufacturing at PATS. "Steelwedge Enterprise-Enabled-Excel
technology provides the best of both worlds. We evaluated several vendors,
and determined that Steelwedge has the best solution by far."

"We are pleased that DeCrane selected the Steelwedge OnDemand solution to
drive their collaborative forecasting and S&OP process," said Steelwedge
CEO, Glen Margolis. "Their decision highlights the growing importance of
effective planning processes to manage resources and meet customer
expectations."
