Two-thirds of enterprises surveyed say have at least one application or a portion of their enterprise computing infrastructure in the cloud, most businesses have made some attempt to capture the benefits of efficiency, elasticity and innovation promised by cloud.

Our smart approach to migration starts with mapping your success to business outcomes embedded with scale and flexibility.

Building a world class operation doesn’t happen in a vacuum. With supply chain being an inherently integrative venture, we’re ready to roll up our sleeves to help guide you with the right tools to assess operational progress and business growth.

In 2016 Carlsberg selected Blue Yonder’s Transport Management System to manage outbound transport to customer sites in Western Europe. This is a key market for Carlsberg, making up 46% of group volume and contributing 53% of group profit. In 2019 Carlsberg took the decision to move the TMS solution from on premises, to the cloud. Taking only 3 months, the move was a complete success.

Join us to learn more about how we’re staying ahead of the game to help you predict and pivot.

Business reactions during the COVID-19 pandemic marked a clear delineation of who was prepared to respond, and who was not.

Join us to learn how we’re powering end-to-end visibility, real-time insight and cognitive orchestration through a single platform.

As one of Europe’s largest homeware retailers, innovation is at the heart of HEMA’s strategy. AI and Cloud capabilities are seen as a critical component supported by a move into machine-learning forecasting with Blue Yonder Luminate Demand Edge to drive greater accuracy and improved inventory management as they come through the challenges of COVID-19. HEMA will share how they have managed their fluctuating demand during the recent period and how this has impacted their supply chain and how AI will enable them to navigate future challenges in a different manner. They will share their ambitions to deliver an AI-driven robust, responsive supply chain and explain why the move to Cloud will be a crucial component of this transformation.

COVID-19 has had an indelible impact on all our lives, and especially those involved in the business of retail. In this conversation, Matt and Abdallah from Petco discuss how their business has navigated through the changes and adapted to come out stronger. Delving into the details of the growth in speed & convenience strategies like BOPIS, Curb-side pickup, Same-Day Delivery, they discuss how COVID-19 accelerated the shift away from channel-based experiences to more customer-centric engagement strategies. Online shopping is increasingly blended with the physical shopping experiences, and the speakers discuss how this transformation was made much smoother because they had already made investments in the Inventory and Commits microservices from Yantriks, now a Blue Yonder company.

While customers in more than 120 countries rely on Hilti to make construction work simpler, faster, and safer, Hilti relies on Blue Yonder to run Sales & Operations Planning.

In Transportation, the new normal includes managing volatile supply with proactive and predictive solutions. With over 47,000 employees and sales in over 90 countries, Essity, a leading global hygiene and health company, knew they had to explore digital innovations to implement a scalable platform. Monitoring local business and driving process innovations via automation within its distribution hubs is key so they looked to a strategic partner to help them experiment and move at a fast pace. Join this session to learn more about their journey to deploying a centralized SmartHub to simplify processes, gain transparency, and increase efficiency.

Software, data, information, communication and automation through Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence AI) are at the core of today‘s most valuable companies in the world. Still, finally humans need physical goods that must be manufactured, distributed and sold in real physical supply chains. We bring these two worlds together and combine speed, power and agility of data, software and ML with professional experience and real-life operation of physical supply chains. In leading operations, many mass decisions are already automated on a super-human level. Such scalable and industrialized ML applications deliver large value and competitive advantage, especially in these times of increasing speed and uncertainty. The recipe is to optimize and largely automate standard processes to give agility and let humans concentrate on strategic steering and exception handling, ML supporting them with as much foresight as possible: PREDICT AND PIVOT instead of READ AND REACT. Michael will show concrete examples of existing and future applications of this principle in manufacturing.

Through a broad range of connected devices, from smartphones to the data center, Lenovo is leading Intelligent Transformations improving the customers’ experience with technology.

Over this session, Kevin Brandman, Director of Integrated Business Planning & Lifecycle Management at Lenovo Data Center Group, describes Lenovo’s ambitious journey -- over an unprecedented period in all our lives -- as it strives to deliver unmatched customer experience while transforming its global cross-functional planning processes and culture within.

Sustainability decisions are embedded in virtually every aspect of supply chain: from ethical sourcing to decision making to help minimize waste. To get ahead of this changing reality, cognitive capabilities are being introduced into processes to help supply chain managers leverage more signals, and enable the end-to-end visibility needed to adapt and make decisions for real-time conditions. Join this session to learn how Blue Yonder is actively building agile technologies to help lower business’ carbon footprints and enable them to operate responsibly.
