Accenture + Blue Yonder

Supply-chain synchronization and intelligence, at every stage – from warehouse to customer.

End-to-end supply-chain innovation

What do supply chain leaders at leading retail, consumer goods, and high-tech companies need today? Accelerated transformation of their supply chains — from drivers of efficiencies and scale to drivers of growth.

 

In a fast-changing business environment where customer expectations are rising, it’s imperative to combine resilience to disruption with a new level of customer-centricity.

 

Accenture and Blue Yonder have collaborated to help companies reimagine this Customer-Centric Supply Chain. By implementing Blue Yonder’s LuminateTM Platform – built on Microsoft Azure – we enable companies to synchronize inventory planning and forecasting through warehousing, transportation, and fulfillment, applying predictive analytics to profitably fulfill demand and exceed customer expectations.

 

Adopting Luminate plays a vital role in rapidly and efficiently moving companies’ supply chains to the cloud and creating a networked ecosystem—two top priorities for supply chain leaders today.

 

Accenture and Blue Yonder launch ASCENT Centers in India

We are elated to announce the launch of our Accenture-Blue Yonder Advancing Supply Chain Excellence through Next-Gen Technology (ASCENT) Centers in Bangalore and Hyderabad last November, for the development and delivery of advanced supply chain solutions.

The center is a network that is co-branded and co-staffed at Blue Yonder’s office in Hyderabad and Accenture’s office in Bangalore. These centers are focused on client showcase, product/platform development and scaling solutioning and delivery capabilities across markets to achieve greater client outcomes. It is the center where the innovators from both Accenture and Blue Yonder collaborate to co-engineer, co-innovate and co-transform to bring 360-degree value to our clients. The Accenture-Blue Yonder ASCENT Centers are the place where we reimagine the supply chain, jointly develop the next gen supply chain products and drive client co-innovations.
