Key takeaways:
· Blue Yonder Transportation Management, one of the company’s Cognitive Solutions, empowers retailers, manufacturers and logistics service providers (LSP) to deliver unprecedented operational efficiency, multi-enterprise collaboration and supply chain resiliency. The solution is powered by the Blue Yonder Network and generative artificial intelligence (AI) agents with predictive analysis and a conversational interface designed for simple, human-friendly engagement. The enhanced solution transcends traditional transportation management offerings, driving operational precision, improved sustainability and reduced risk.
· Blue Yonder Transportation Management is built on a modern and true cloud architecture for scale and access to advanced AI capabilities. It uses the AI data cloud to eliminate silos within the supply chain ecosystem. This enables seamless end-to-end interoperability by harnessing unified decisioning across a multi-enterprise network.
- Blue Yonder’s Transportation Management solution and Blue Yonder Network are now seamlessly integrated. This enables customers to efficiently manage data across different systems and trading partners, including carrier collaboration, appointment scheduling, real-time visibility (including telematics), and inbound shipment optimization and collaboration, to ensure smooth and coordinated operations. As a result, customers can adapt to changes and disruptions instantly for improved resilience, cost efficiency, delivery times, and collaboration.
- Blue Yonder’s new Logistics Emissions Calculator, part of the Sustainable Supply Chain Manager solution, is integrated with the Transportation Management solution, allowing customers to track transportation emission factors and charges, as well as seamlessly incorporate sustainability goals into the optimization engine when planning loads. This allows transportation to factor emission requirements when optimizing shipments and routes, enabling customers to make smarter emissions-based decisions to positively impact their sustainability goals.
- The Logistics Ops Agent provides persona-based daily briefs to help teams understand what is happening across transportation operations faster. It notifies users in real time of issues and opportunities and provides suggestions on how to handle them, including backhaul opportunities, shipment routing resolutions, and more, to ensure they are addressed quickly to avoid disruptions to operations.
- By embedding predictive AI into the transportation planning process, customers can swiftly pinpoint loads requiring route adjustments and identify at-risk shipments based on root causes, such as carrier performance. This enables proactive mitigation before the load even departs the facility. The optimization engine continuously improves solution quality as it blends execution realities with leading optimization techniques. This ensures that future planning decisions benefit from these smarter, data-informed decisions.
- Customers can manage transportation through the conversational AI agent and the new user experience (UX) that provides personalized alerts, dynamic views based on each role, access to KPI measurement, and more.
