Accenture has expanded its strategic partnership with Blue Yonder to provide organizations with resilient, responsive and sustainable supply chains.
Both companies plan to help organizations compress transformation and reinvent their supply chains through new solutions and capabilities to fuel profitable growth and optimize costs.
With over two decades of partnership, Accenture and Blue Yonder continue to help clients synchronize inventory planning and forecasting through warehousing, transformation and fulfillment and apply predictive analytics to profitably fulfill demand and exceed customer expectations. In total, both companies have supported hundreds of engagements for clients spanning 80 countries and across 19 industries.
Accenture will work with clients to accelerate the adoption of Blue Yonder’s solutions, and provide the company with access to research and development capabilities, helping it explore and advance the use of AI, process mining and robotics process automation.
Accenture cloud-native platform engineers and industry experts will also work with Blue Yonder to engineer, define, validate and build new solutions on the Blue Yonder Luminate Platform, which provides end-to-end supply chain synchronization across planning and execution.
Paul Daugherty, group chief executive, technology and chief technology officer, Accenture, said: “Companies have invested heavily in their supply chains to boost inventory and capacity. Now they must focus on building resilience and agility to drive growth and profitability.
“With the strategic expansion of our decades-long relationship, Accenture will work with Blue Yonder to design and build new solutions to provide clients with the supply chain of the future – which is less centralized, more modular and enabled by digital technology.”
Duncan Angove, CEO, Blue Yonder, said: “With constant disruptions and geo-political situations escalating, companies need their supply chains to be more resilient and agile than ever before. This unique way of working with Accenture will not only help to accelerate time to market for our solutions but ensure we are offering solutions that the market needs when it needs it. This expanded relationship will greatly benefit our joint clients, providing them with end-to-end supply chain offerings that meet their needs and help their business grow and profit.”
