-Market expansion accelerated by SaaS solution supporting standard SCM processes

Zionex, a company specializing in supply chain management solutions, led by CEO Yoo Dong-sik, is targeting markets in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, China, and other countries with its SaaS-based SCM solution “PlanNEL.”

Zionex explained, “Complex supply chain processes lower production efficiency and reduce overall profit for companies. As a result, most companies have adopted SCM solutions to manage supply chain processes, and many are now considering implementing cloud-supported SCM platforms to expand into global markets.”

Leveraging over 20 years of expertise with large corporations in SCM (Supply Chain Management), Zionex has developed PlanNEL, a state-of-the-art SCM solution integrating cloud and AI technology. With this foundation, they plan to actively expand market share in SCM among both large corporations and mid-sized enterprises domestically and internationally.

PlanNEL is a SaaS-based SCM solution designed to manage enterprise supply chains and inventory. It utilizes Zionex’s proprietary AI/ML algorithms and statistical methods to deliver precise demand forecasting. Centralized network management allows the supply planning cycle to be shortened by over 80%, and inventory depletion can be reduced by more than 30%. Additionally, PlanNEL enables clients to install modules with necessary functions for their business environments, allowing for easy future expansion, and enabling quick system setup with minimal initial costs.

In the past year, Zionex has successfully implemented its solution with various global companies, including domestic firms like Lock & Lock and EGNIS, as well as international corporations such as China’s MOHO, Japanese manufacturers SnowPeak and Majesty Golf, and the distribution company FITS Corporation, verifying the solution’s technological prowess and stability.

Since its founding in 2000, Zionex has developed and delivered all essential SCM modules in-house—demand analysis and forecasting, sales planning, supply planning, production planning, and inventory replenishment planning—supporting efficient supply chain management for large corporations worldwide. After establishing a Japanese branch in 2013, Zionex has expanded to Taiwan, the U.S., and other global markets to advance its global reach.

Yoo Dong-sik, CEO of Zionex, commented, “Geopolitical risks have heightened uncertainties in global sourcing and collaboration systems, increasing the importance of supply chain management and demand for proactive risk management through AI technology. We will actively support clients in solving complex supply chain issues to operate their businesses stably, leading the domestic and international SCM solution markets.”

Zionex plans to enhance its AI-powered automatic report features for user convenience and accelerate market expansion for its SaaS-based SCM solution domestically and internationally through continuous R&D investment and marketing efforts.
