How Bonide Transformed Supply Chain Performance with ketteQ
Pest control manufacturer accelerates decision-making, doubles planner productivity, and builds a scalable foundation for growth with adaptive supply chain planning.
概要
Bonide, a leading manufacturer of pest control solutions headquartered in Oriskany, New York, entered a new phase of growth following a private equity acquisition and new executive leadership.
With heightened expectations for operational efficiency and scalability, the company needed to modernize its supply chain planning processes to support a more dynamic, complex business.
Bonide operates a complex, multi-stage manufacturing environment that requires tight coordination between bulk production and finished goods. Sub-assemblies, capacity constraints, and demand variability are all interconnected. While the team had deep expertise, planning remained highly manual and time-intensive.
Plans often took 7 to 14 days to finalize, requiring significant effort to align production across multiple stages.
While the process worked, it was not built to scale.
Bonide needed a way to simplify complexity, accelerate decision-making, and support growth without increasing operational overhead.
“At Bonide, we needed a modern, AI-enabled solution that could simplify complexity and help our team move faster without adding overhead.”
チャレンジ
As Bonide’s business evolved, so did the complexity of its supply chain.
The planning process relied heavily on spreadsheets, manual coordination, and institutional knowledge to synchronize production across multiple stages. This made it difficult to respond quickly to changes and increasingly challenging to scale.
Like many organizations operating with fragmented planning processes, Bonide faced several constraints:
- Planning cycles stretched from days into weeks
- Heavy manual coordination across bulk production, sub-assemblies, and finished goods
- Limited visibility across production stages and capacity constraints
- High planner workload driven by transactional tasks and rework
- Difficulty scaling operations without adding headcount
As complexity increased, planners spent more time building and reconciling plans and less time evaluating scenarios and improving outcomes.
The issue wasn’t effort or expertise. It was the ability to coordinate decisions across a highly interconnected system.

ソリューション
Bonide selected ketteQ to modernize its supply chain planning and bring synchronization, speed, and intelligence to its operations.
Powered by the PolymatiQ™ agentic AI engine and built natively on Salesforce, ketteQ enabled Bonide to move from manual, fragmented planning to a fully synchronized, adaptive planning environment.
At the core of the transformation was ketteQ’s ability to orchestrate Bonide’s multi-stage manufacturing process in real time.
Demand signals now flow from finished goods through sub-assemblies. Capacity constraints are evaluated dynamically at each stage. Production plans are continuously aligned, ensuring that bulk production, intermediate steps, and finished goods remain synchronized.
What previously required multiple manual passes is now handled in a single, coordinated process.
With ketteQ, Bonide gained:
- End-to-end synchronization across bulk production, sub-assemblies, and finished goods
- Dynamic evaluation of capacity constraints and production dependencies
- Automated alignment of load sizes, demand signals, and supply plans
- Planning outputs generated in seconds instead of days
- A shift to planning by exception, reducing manual effort and rework
- Rapid deployment and integration into existing workflows
Most importantly, planners could trust the output.
Instead of relying on spreadsheets and manual validation, the system provides a synchronized, decision-ready plan at the start of each day
結果
Bonide’s transformation delivered immediate operational impact while positioning the business for scalable growth:
- Dynamic Planning cycles compressed from 7–14 days to same-day readiness, enabling faster, more responsive decision-making
- Planners can now manage approximately twice the workload without increasing headcount
- Manual coordination and transactional work significantly reduced, allowing teams to focus on higher-value activities
- Demand, supply, and S&OP processes are now connected, improving collaboration across functions
- Planners can approve production decisions knowing capacity, sub-assemblies, and finished goods are fully synchronized
- The planning process now supports business expansion without adding complexity or operational overhead
“With ketteQ, we now start each day with a clear, synchronized plan, allowing our team to focus on making better decisions instead of managing manual processes.” -Joe Clayton, CEO, Bonide
From Coordination to Orchestration
For Bonide, the shift wasn’t just about improving planning speed; It was about changing how decisions are made.
By moving from manual coordination to synchronized, adaptive planning, Bonide has transformed its supply chain into a system that continuously aligns demand, supply, and capacity.
The result is a planning organization that is faster, more efficient, and better equipped to support growth.
Bonide isn’t just planning more efficiently, they’re making better decisions, faster, and building a supply chain that can scale with the business.
