Evaluation based on Ability to Execute and
Completeness of Vision
Blue Yonder is recognized as a Leader in three
Gartner Magic Quadrant reports covering Supply Chain Planning
Solutions, Transportation Management Systems and Warehouse
Management Systems3
Blue Yonder, a leader in digital supply chain transformations,
has been positioned by Gartner as a Leader in the recently released
2024 Magic Quadrant for Supply Chain Planning Solutions1 based on
the Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision. The company is
positioned furthest in Completeness of Vision.
Blue Yonder attributes its success to its strong cognitive
planning capabilities – built on the Blue Yonder Platform – that
offer advanced end-to-end and integrated supply chain planning
solutions, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML)
capabilities, and data management. In addition, the company’s
recent acquisition of flexis AG, expands the company’s factory
planning, scheduling, sequencing, and slotting capabilities.
Blue Yonder has been recognized as a Leader four consecutive
times in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Supply Chain Planning
Solutions. The company was also named a Leader four times in the
previously published Gartner Magic Quadrant for Supply Chain
Planning System of Record report that was published during 2010,
2014, 2016, and 20182.
“Our customers are seeking a new approach to supply chain
management, one specifically designed to tackle the agility and
resilience demands posed by the daily challenges of volatile supply
chains,” said Andrea Morgan-Vandome, chief innovation officer, Blue
Yonder. “Blue Yonder’s cognitive solutions, powered by predictive
and generative AI, ensure that planning and execution work
seamlessly in tandem on a large scale. Our planning solutions span
every tier of the supply chain, work off a common set of data and
are objective led. They are execution aware which means if a
disruption or opportunity is sensed, our patented solvers will
recommend options for collaborative resolution. This has replaced
conventional ‘scenario’ or ‘what if’ planning with objective-led,
range-based planning, preparing the enterprise for many possible
futures.”
Blue Yonder supply chain planning capabilities use AI and ML,
along with real-time data across the end-to-end supply chain, from
suppliers to consumers, to sense, predict and act based on
high-quality and highly-accurate plans. With ML forecasting,
inventory and supply optimization, detailed scheduling, network
design, transportation load building, large-scale retail
deployment, and e-commerce promising all operating seamlessly,
customers can reduce the decision cycle times, improve service
level and margin, and enable growth. For example, AI scenario
planning and real-time ML predictions are shifting planning
workflows away from the constraints of overnight batches. In
addition, the always-on planning approach allows businesses to
quickly identify improvement opportunities and potential
challenges, enabling planners to respond appropriately to maximize
performance and minimize risk.
“Enabling the growth of our innovative and differentiated
product portfolio meant that we needed a world-class supply-chain
solution that could meet the complex requirements of our business
and ‘Digital First’ strategy. After a rigorous evaluation, we
selected Blue Yonder as the provider best suited to support our
current and future needs,” said Chance Finley, vice president,
Global Supply Chain Operations, onsemi.
With this latest Gartner Magic Quadrant for Supply Chain
Planning, Blue Yonder is one of only two evaluated companies
recognized as a Leader in three Gartner Magic Quadrant reports
covering Supply Chain Planning, Transportation Management Systems,
and Warehouse Management Systems3.
