Plexus Planning changes its name to BOXARR

Provider of advanced solution to solve the challenges of Interdependent Systems Management (ISM), Plexus Planning, announced it has changed its name to BOXARR.

BOXARR is ideally suited to model and provide analysis of the most complex networks of interdependency that are common in systems engineering, supply-chains and process & project schedules.
