Asda enlists Blue Yonder for business transformation project

Asda is set to implement several SaaS-based capabilities within Blue Yonder’s Luminate Planning, Luminate Commerce and Luminate Logistics solutions, as well as Luminate Control Tower.

With the UK grocery giant needing to transition from its legacy solutions as a result of moving to a UK-based ownership, it was looking for end-to-end retail solutions that would cover commercial, supply chain, logistics, and retail operations.

This includes artificial intelligence powered forecasting, end-to-end supply chain visibility, omnichannel fulfilment, and workforce management capabilities.  

“We are embarking on a large scale, exciting business transformation project to build our future, in which we want to work with the very best retail technology providers in the market with proven experience and world-class capabilities,” says Carl Dawson, Chief Information Officer, Asda

“We are looking forward to implementing this project with our strategic partner Blue Yonder, as we continue to build a fast, effective and agile business.” 

“We have built a strong relationship with Asda over the years, and we have consistently demonstrated how our advanced capabilities can help them fulfil their potential and drive value, early and often,” says Johan Reventberg, President, EMEA, Blue Yonder.

“Not only are our solutions a fit for their long-term goals, so is our culture and our values. We are honoured to embark on this exciting journey and look forward to bringing value to both Asda, their partners and their customers.”
