Sainsbury’s boosts supply chain strategy with Blue Yonder tech
Sainsbury’s has selected Blue Yonder’s Luminate platform for a supply chain transformation project.
The grocery giant is extending its Blue Yonder solutions footprint, with capabilities now including AI-powered demand forecasting and replenishment, digital control tower, space management, macro space planning, range management, warehouse management, labour management and yard management.
Blue Yonder is also beginning to work with Sainsbury’s Tech (the retailers in-house technology function) to create an autonomous self-learning supply chain platform with machine learning capabilities. Once completed, this will enable staff to spend more time on the shopfloor serving the needs of customers.
“We relentlessly seek to improve the way we serve the needs of our customers. Having a predictive, autonomous and adaptive supply chain powered by world class technology products and Sainsbury’s Tech engineering means we can show up for our customers whenever and however they shop with us,” says John Elliott, Chief Technology Officer Retail at Sainsbury’s.
“Blue Yonder provided a strong balance of advanced capabilities, machine learning experience and a culture and value set closely aligned to our own, including a commitment to sustainability.”
