We are very excited to announce that Blue Yonder has been recognized as a Strong Performer in The Forrester Wave™: Order Management Systems, Q2 2023 Report.

In this report, Forrester researched, analyzed and scored the eight top order management providers against 34 criteria across three categories — current offering, strategy, and market presence. In the current offering category, Blue Yonder received the highest scores possible in the criteria of enterprise inventory management, pre- and post-purchase experience, order orchestration rules, fulfillment automation, and scalability. In the strategy category, Forrester also gave Blue Yonder a score of 5 out of 5 in the performance, product vision and community engagement criteria.

The rise of connected commerce in the past few years has forced organizations to rapidly embark on digital transformations to meet new customer expectations and demand. As stated in the report, customers today demand real-time availability and delivery information — and earlier in the shopping process than ever before. As a result of these latest trends, organizations should look for providers that:

  • offer real-time inventory and delivery updates
  • flexibility to make near immediate adjustments
  • support the technical functions that fill current gaps and provide longer-term value
  • deliver stellar user experiences for practitioners
