SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – May 7, 2024 – 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 Warehouse Management Systems2 (WMS) based on the Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision.

Blue Yonder attributes its success to the depth and breadth of its Warehouse Management solutions – powered by the Blue Yonder Platform – offering customers the comprehensive capabilities needed today and the strategic positioning for the future.

Blue Yonder has been recognized as a Leader for the 13th time in a row in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for WMS3.

“The warehouse plays a critical role in the supply chain, and companies need to build greater resilience across their warehouse, transportation, and planning to better serve their customers,” said Andrea Morgan-Vandome, chief innovation officer, Blue Yonder. “Blue Yonder’s supply chain solutions offer companies the ability to orchestrate sourcing, production, logistics, and network strategies in a single platform. With this holistic approach, companies can better plan their network, warehouse, and labor capacities from end-to-end. This provides shortened lead times, improved service levels, optimized operational efficiencies, maximized realization of business opportunities, and reduced cost.”

Blue Yonder’s warehouse customers span 19 vertical industries, including consumer products, food & beverage (F&B), grocery, automotive, industrial, life-science, and logistics service providers. Blue Yonder has a solid history of delivering its Warehouse Management solutions to its customers through its strong partner ecosystem globally and its Blue Yonder Global Professional Services.

“Pegasus Logistics Group’s selection of the Blue Yonder’s supply chain cloud platform was an easy decision that delivers value from day one. It’s a perfect fit to combine Pegasus Logistic Group’s best-in-class white glove services with Blue Yonder’s industry-leading software solutions. The Pegasus implementation of Blue Yonder’s cloud-enabled Warehouse Management solution provides speed-to-market that delivers turnkey, feature-rich solutions for our clients and internal stakeholders,” said Marc Sherman, CIO, Pegasus Logistics Group.

Blue Yonder Warehouse Management’s capabilities are shaped through decades of continuous product development to design the latest cutting-edge technology to meet the intricate needs of the world’s most complex warehouse operations. Examples include the ability to designate comprehensive inventory characteristics, manage temperature zone and shelf-life requirements, direct build-to-stock and build-to-order requirements, and process outbound activities for omni-channel commerce and fulfillment. Blue Yonder empowers businesses to consistently deliver high service at a value-driven cost. Customers drive better performance and customer service with real-time transaction processing, optimized storage and selection strategies, directed task management, configured workflows, integrated labor standards, and more. Extensibility without needing customizations and expensive resources is also a key enabler for many customers as system requirements are rapidly evolving.

The Blue Yonder Platform provides real-time scalable performance and allows the company to continually innovate and enhance its warehouse solutions. Blue Yonder’s end-to-end warehouse offerings, including Warehouse Management, Labor Management and Warehouse Execution System (including Warehouse Tasking and Robotics Hub) are powered by the Blue Yonder Platform. These solutions provide optimal performance within the four walls of a central distribution center, regional facility, or local micro-fulfillment center.

A key capability within the Warehouse Execution System, Warehouse Tasking has advanced prioritization logic, including automatic escalation and de-escalation of tasks, resource capacity smoothing, and task sequencing that enables the agility and responsiveness desired by today’s demanding warehouse operations. Enhanced prioritization logic in Warehouse Tasking now promotes the priority of loads that fall behind schedule – assessing the capacity of current resources and directing tasks to assure that cut-off times and service level agreements are properly addressed in time constrained environments.

With this latest Gartner Warehouse Management System Magic Quadrant, 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 Systems1.
