Blue Yonder Holding, Inc., the world leader of end-to-end digital supply chain transformation, has officially published a lowdown relaying its Q1 2025 company highlights, while simultaneously launching new Cognitive Solutions and artificial intelligence (AI) agents.
Going by the available details, Blue Yonder would go on to secure 30 new customer logos in Q1 2025. As for the new customers who selected Blue Yonder or existing customers who extended their footprint during the quarter, they included Fármacon, GXO Logistics, Supermercados Erbi, Foodstuffs North Island, Linfox, Coop-Gruppe Genossenschaft, Honda Motor Europe Logistics N.V., and Sainsbury’s.
Beyond that, the company also made it to a total of 24 key technology industry analyst reports in Q1 2025.
Turning our attention towards Blue Yonder’s new (AI)-infused Cognitive Solutions, they arrive on the scene bearing an ability to accelerate long-range and intraday decision making, even in the most complex situations, for increased resiliency, resource leverage, and cost control.
More on the same would reveal how these new solutions can help businesses tackle volatility, improve profit margins, and reduce complexity with speed and precision.
Talk about the stated line-up of innovations on a slightly deeper level, we begin from its promise to provide machine-speed decisioning with AI agents. Here, Blue Yonder will bring forth five critical artificial intelligence (AI) agents that, on their part, can enhance speed and agility in supply chain management. These AI agents also make it possible for businesses to see, analyze, decide, and act with machine precision, even amid disruptions and evolving geopolitical situations.
At launch, Blue Yonder’s line-up of AI agents will include Inventory Ops Agent, Shelf Ops Agent, Logistics Ops Agent, Warehouse Ops Agent, and Network Ops Agent, with a new Tariffs Agent already in the works.
Next up, we have a solution committed to unify planning and streamline decisioning across the supply chain for manufacturers and retailers. Here, Blue Yonder effectively delivers end-to-end, concurrent planning based on a common set of services and data so to give both manufacturers and retailers new capabilities.
Hence, if we talk about manufacturers, they can optimize planning and boost profits by swiftly analyzing demand in unison with supply from across a multi-tier network of supply partners.
As for the retailers, they can seamlessly unlock the planning speed and flexibility they need to accelerate inventory turnover and minimize waste.
Another solution worth a mention is rooted in the potential for maximizing warehouse efficiency and speed using AI and ML. This particular innovation brings forth effortless scalability and extensibility, no downtime code updates, and immediate access to AI and ML innovation.
Moving on, Blue Yonder would also deliver at the disposal of its customers the Blue Yonder Network which empowers businesses to swiftly coordinate with suppliers, customers and carriers, all for optimizing the flow of goods and improving time to market to support profitable growth.
Hold on, we still have a couple of bits left to unpack, considering we haven’t yet touched upon a solution that revolves around the objective of optimizing returns and ensuring the relevant goods are back into inventory rather quickly. Harnessing the power of a circular economy, the innovation in question can also tread up a long distance to cut down on waste.
Almost an extension of it, there is a solution focused on bringing enhanced sustainability capabilities that promote sustainable abundance. This relates to a new sustainability offering called Sustainable Supply Chain Manager, which integrates carbon and waste management with supply chain management to again help Blue Yonder customers reduce waste, while simultaneously shrinking pollution and cutting costs.
“We heard lots of excitement from our customers around our Cognitive Solutions and AI agents at ICON 2025,” said Duncan Angove, CEO of Blue Yonder. “We’re changing the game for supply chain management with our new solutions to help our customers do more, faster and with greater precision. If there’s one thing we’ve seen recently, it’s that uncertainty stemming from factors such as tariffs, geopolitical tensions, and other disruptions can severely limit business growth. But with the support of the right supply chain solutions and AI agents, our customers can pivot, thrive and succeed.”
