Live demo preview: Meeting consumer demand with Blue Yonder

Handling increase in consumer demand is not a problem

BlueYonder at the Future of Supply Chain

A major attraction of FreightWaves’ The Future of Supply Chain live event in Northwest Arkansas on May 9-10 will be the seven-minute live demos. Here’s a preview of one of those demos:

One thing all supply chains have learned the past two years is that customer demand can swing and change at a moment’s notice. When that happens, shippers have to be prepared to accommodate those changes and pivot their operations to keep up with consumer demand. 

Just as quickly as consumer demand turns on, it can turn off. As a result, shippers need to be able to scale up and scale down based on demand. 

Company: Blue Yonder

Demo Product: Blue Yonder Logistics Network, Dynamic Price Discovery (DPD) and Luminate Control Tower 

What it does: Blue Yonder is the world leader in digital supply chain execution and omni-channel commerce fulfillment. Their platform enables retailers, manufacturers and logistics providers to seamlessly predict, pivot and fulfill customer demand.

Who needs it most: Direct-to-consumer brands, retail shippers, shippers, asset-based carriers, 3PLs, freight brokers, and logistics service providers.
