SaaS revenue for fiscal year 2020 up 70% year-over-year

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Jan. 28, 2021 – Blue Yonder Holding, Inc. (Blue Yonder), announced unaudited results for the fiscal fourth quarter ending December 31, 2020. SaaS revenue saw significant growth, up 58% in Q4 and up 70% for the full year. SaaS annualized recurring revenue (ARR) ended 2020 at a record $343 million, up 54% compared to 2019. Since the company’s SaaS transformation began in 2017, Blue Yonder achieved a high water mark of 85 customer go-lives in Q4 2020 – a 27% increase from the same quarter in 2019.

“Constantly changing public health patterns, workforce shortages, restrained mobility of consumers and the lack of actionable visibility into supply drove customers towards Blue Yonder’s agile, autonomous supply chain solutions in 2020,” said Girish Rishi, chief executive officer, Blue Yonder. “Our Luminate cloud platform delivered significant benefits to our customers’ business operations. With 70% year-over-year SaaS revenue growth, 120% SaaS net revenue retention1 (NRR) and SaaS revenue backlog within line of sight of $1 billion, Blue Yonder is now past the sixth inning of our SaaS transformation.”
