Lippert, a global manufacturer of engineered components for the RV, marine, automotive, commercial vehicle and building products industries, selected ketteQ as its next-generation supply chain planning platform. The decision followed a review of the company’s existing enterprise planning system after nine years of investment and customization. Lippert sought parity with its current capabilities alongside greater flexibility, continued innovation and a long-term partnership, and ketteQ met all requirements across two structured demonstrations. The evaluation also included live testing of Quintus AI, ketteQ’s Free-Range AI, and considered the PolymatiQ solver (an optimization engine for evaluating planning solutions). Lippert expects the move to improve visibility, support scalable planning, automate routine high-volume work and provide a foundation for future innovation. The companies cautioned that statements about anticipated benefits, efficiencies and automation are forward-looking and subject to implementation, technology and market risks.
