Wickes deploys Blue Yonder Luminate Planning omnichannel tech
Home improvement retailer, Wickes, is tapping Blue Yonder machine learning technology to forecast swings in consumer demand, and accurately align product availability and supply.
It says that the use of Luminate Planning, a cloud-based solutions portfolio built on Microsoft Azure, will enable it to automate manual tasks so staff can focus efforts where they’re needed the most.
“To meet current demand and future growth, we need to be able to plan and fulfill both in our stores and online for our customers,” says Fraser Longden, Chief Operating Officer, Wickes.
“By expanding our relationship with Blue Yonder, we can further invest in our roadmap to be the premier home improvements retailer in the UK.”
