SALM manufactures a wide range of kitchen and bathroom fittings, including storage
solutions. An industry leader in France, SALM is present in 21 countries throughout

The Quintiq software platform upgrade, facilitated by Quintiq partner Ordina, has
improved SALM's ability to simultaneously plan and optimize production and logistics. This
has lead to maximized use of its resources and the synchronization of business-critical
activities.
SALM has been a Quintiq customer since 2005. Today, SALM uses its upgraded Quintiq
software to plan the fulfillment of 2,000 daily orders. Quintiq's SCP&O software optimizes
the production schedules at SALM's four sites in France and Germany. The platform also
helps to plan SALM's 200 delivery schedules, ensuring customers receive their orders on
time.
"SALM became the industry leader in France and fifth largest in Europe, thanks to
sustained innovation efforts that included continuous improvement of our processes," said
Jacques Feraud, project manager at SALM. "Quintiq's solution enables us to commit to
reliable delivery dates throughout Europe. This helps us maintain excellent service
levels, which will enable us to further expand our presence internationally."
"SALM is a perfect example of industrial success and we are proud to have contributed
towards that by providing a solution capable of optimizing both production and transport
processes simultaneously," said Henri Beringer, director of Quintiq France. "We are
confident that Quintiq will continue to support SALM's growth, even as its supply chain
challenges become more complex."
