Capability offerings
Maximize inventory profitability
Inventory is one of the largest investments’ retailers make, so it’s critical to invest wisely. Blue Yonder gives planners a holistic view of demand and then auto-generates inventory plans accordingly. Advanced insights allow users to identify and react quickly to changes as they occur, enabling a more responsive inventory replenishment cycle to optimize inventory ROI.
Simplify product seasonality
Seasonal items can generate a profitable sales lift initially, but if not sold through, can lead to excessive markdowns that hurt margins. With tools to predict demand over time, Blue Yonder helps planners more precisely deploy seasonal products so there’s enough to hit peak demand without having too much in stock as the season ends.
Optimize inventory replenishment
Blue Yonder helps users build out the best inventory replenishment plans based on supply chain constraints. Advanced algorithms consider vendor capacity, minimum order quantities, price break quantities, lead times, truck cubing and other limitations along with on-hand balance and store inventory needs for the most cost-effective and efficient buying strategies.
