 Press Releases

• Blue Yonder Acquires One Network Enterprises (Aug 14, 2024)

  Blue Yonder, the leader in digital supply chain transformations, announced the closing of its acquisition of One Network Enterprises (One Network) at an enterprise value of approximately $839 million. The acquisition gives Blue Yonder customers the ability to collaborate and share data – from inventory levels to raw and finished goods materials movement – in real time across all trading partners up and down the supply chain.

  With increasing volatility and continuous disruptions, retailers, manufacturers and logistics service providers (LSPs) need to achieve multi-enterprise transparency with trading partners, unify plans and actions, and conduct business in real time in order to enable more accurate cross-functional decision-making and eliminate the time gap between order planning and fulfillment. It’s no longer sufficient for companies to rely on periodic updates about their inventory, capacity, and resources; true business agility requires real-time information across an entire network.
  
  
   

• Avon International Leverages Blue Yonder Platform (Aug 14, 2024)

  The cosmetics industry is experiencing continued growth as consumers worldwide increasingly prioritize self-care and wellness. However, this growth has also led to a more competitive landscape, and companies must make strategic choices to differentiate themselves and maintain success in this dynamic market. That is why Avon International chose Blue Yonder Platform with Cognitive Demand Planning, Enterprise Supply Planning and Control Tower solutions to create an end-to-end next generation supply chain and support the company’s strategy and vision.

  Avon International was seeking to optimize its manufacturing and distribution processes in both Europe and Asia Pacific by establishing a “Planning Hub” for centralized demand and supply planning. To streamline demand planning, respond more quickly to their dynamic market and enhance decision-making, Avon International selected Blue Yonder’s flexible SaaS supply chain solutions, based on advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities.

• Waitrose Invests in Blue Yonder Demand Forecasting (Aug 14, 2024)

  Waitrose is extending its collaboration with Blue Yonder with the addition of the supply chain solution provider’s industry-leading forecasting capability. 

  The new move will mark the first significant introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) into Waitrose’s forecasting – and is designed to improve the already high levels of availability across the retailer’s stores. 

  Rather than relying on historical sales data and human intuition, the AI forecasting capability – part of Blue Yonder Demand Planning – focuses on customer behaviour and analyses ‘why’ customers bought what they did rather than just ‘what’ they bought.

  The capability understands and learns from the trading environment to provide a better forecast based on customer behaviour. For example, it will learn how customers responded to a variety of influences including weather variations, major sporting and cultural events and promotions. 

  The upgrade is part of a significant investment in technology across Waitrose’s supply chain and is designed to improve availability, which already stands at record levels.
