ICON 2025 saw Blue Yonder’s biggest product release yet, unveiling new Cognitive Solutions designed to help businesses respond instantly to disruption, optimize costs, and make better decisions with certainty. 

But that wasn’t the only big announcement. Taking to the ICON main stage, Chief Innovation Officer, Andrea Morgan-Vandome and President of Cloud and Customer Experience Darren Saumur announced the Blue Yonder Supply Chain Advisory.

The Supply Chain Advisory offers deep industry, solutions and data science expertise to guide customers through their digital transformation journeys.

Working with you as your strategic partner, the Supply Chain Advisory is there to:

  • Maximize the value you get from Blue Yonder Solutions.
  • Guide you through innovative ways of working, equipping you with the right tools and methods to operate with both speed and precision.
  • Stand alongside you as you tackle challenging decisions, helping you avoid common pitfalls and uncover new opportunities by leveraging our deep expertise and years of proven best practice methods.

From implementation to realization

Bringing together the best and brightest domain experts and data scientists, the Supply Chain Advisory will start working with you early and stay on as an advisor through implementation and the life of the product to help you realize your vision.  

Reimagining the implementation process, the Supply Chain Advisory worked to realign where time is spent to drive speed and precision. This includes:

  • Developing a leading practice that covers processes across all supply chain functional areas. During ICON 2025, Andrea explains how customers who follow this approach have implemented it in half the time and gained 30% more value in their services
  • A Maturity Matrix tool to help work with you on where you are today, where you want to get to, and the value it will drive, as well as a methodology for how and where to apply AI (Artificial Intelligence) agents
  • And a Composable Journey studio, which has executed over 200 workshops so far to help customers determine the product roadmap, sequence, business case, and pace of their unique transformation journey  

In practice, the first step is to understand what your supply chain pain points are, your vision and goals, and how you are currently operating.

Then, we look at how your existing Blue Yonder investments can solve these pain points. From there, the Supply Chain Advisory will work with you to collaboratively build a roadmap over time to go live with new solutions to maximize your business benefits.
