In the ever-evolving landscape of warehousing and transportation, technology plays a pivotal role in optimizing supply chain management. The transition from legacy systems to advanced solutions, such as Blue Yonder’s (formerly JDA) cloud-based platform with artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities, presents both opportunities and challenges for companies seeking operational excellence.

CHALLENGE:

A leader in the food supply industry, a global food production company, faced a significant hurdle in upgrading their Warehouse Management System (WMS) to Blue Yonder. The integration posed challenges ranging from end user training to overall change management, necessitating the rapid development of a large-scale training initiative across the Transportation division.

Our team of consultants played a crucial role in training and supporting user adoption, optimizing inventory and labor in real-time, and enhancing customer experiences.

RESULT:

The collaboration with GDH yielded remarkable outcomes for the global food production company. Over 40 consultants were successfully placed with 12 transitioning to become full-time team members.
