GXO Logistics is teaming up with Blue Yonder to deploy a new end-to-end supply chain software solution to power its shared warehousing solution GXO Direct in the US.
“By leveraging Blue Yonder’s solutions, we’ll enable customers to add features and customised capabilities on an open WMS platform,” says Eduardo Pelleissone, President, Americas and Asia Pacific, GXO.
“Customers will now have an agile and cost-effective order management solution with real-time visibility of inventory and orders across all sites.”
“Customers will also have access to value-added services, such as kitting and assembly, to optimise their time and cost to serve. This strengthens our position as a shared warehousing leader as we expand GXO Direct globally.”
In North America, GXO Direct operates a network of 14 hubs comprising more than a hundred sites across the US and Canada, with the aim of increasing operational efficiency for all warehousing services, including returns management, while positioning goods closer to the end consumer and enabling one-day delivery nationwide.
The new software solutions from Blue Yonder will enable faster customer onboarding, startups and tech integration as well as utilise real-time data to enhance inventory management.
Steve Lewis, U.S. Division President, GXO Direct, says: “We’re excited to work with Blue Yonder to enhance our warehouse capabilities and deliver even faster speed-to-market for our customers across the GXO Direct network in the US. Today, businesses require more flexibility than ever.”
“To meet their needs, we are deploying Blue Yonder’s SaaS-based supply chain execution solutions. We’re seamlessly onboarding new customers twice as fast and giving them greater insight into operations, better forecasting with real-time data and updates on order fulfilment.”
