End-to-end supply-chain innovation

What do supply chain leaders at leading retail, consumer goods, and high-tech companies need today? Accelerated transformation of their supply chains — from drivers of efficiencies and scale to drivers of growth.

In a fast-changing business environment where customer expectations are rising, it’s imperative to combine resilience to disruption with a new level of customer-centricity.

Accenture and Blue Yonder have partnered to create the Supply Chain of the future and drive Customer Centric Supply Chains. Blue Yonder’s Luminate Cognitive Platform, built on Azure and powered with Snowflake, enables an interoperable Supply Chain ecosystem from planning to execution, that will future proof your business.

Adopting Luminate plays a vital role in rapidly and efficiently moving companies’ supply chains to the cloud and creating a networked ecosystem—two top priorities for supply chain leaders today.

Our partnership: The Good Quest

Blue Yonder and Accenture have strengthened our strategic partnership by launching the Good Quest: A Supply Chain Transformation Journey to better society and the planet. Together, we are creating and delivering the Supply Chain of the Future, leveraging the Cloud, Generative AI, and Data – all on the Luminate Cognitive Platform and amplified by Accenture’s Supply Chain expertise.

Our partnership in motion

We are elated to announce the launch of our Accenture-Blue Yonder Advancing Supply Chain Excellence through Next-Gen Technology (ASCENT) Centers in Bangalore and Hyderabad last November, for the development and delivery of advanced supply chain solutions.

The center is a network that is co-branded and co-staffed at Blue Yonder’s office in Hyderabad and Accenture’s office in Bangalore. These centers are focused on client showcase, product/platform development and scaling solutioning and delivery capabilities across markets to achieve greater client outcomes. It is the center where the innovators from both Accenture and Blue Yonder collaborate to co-engineer, co-innovate and co-transform to bring 360-degree value to our clients. The Accenture-Blue Yonder ASCENT Centers are the place where we reimagine the supply chain, jointly develop the next gen supply chain products and drive client co-innovations.

Blue Yonder is building on over 30 years of supply chain software experience across more than 3,000 global customers, converging and simplifying the market’s broadest set of supply chain solutions into a simplified and interoperable end-to-end platform that leverages Snowflake, cognitive AI/ML technology, and Accenture’s expertise. Together, we help clients transform their capabilities to achieve their customer-centric supply chain vision.

A yard where documents, data, and signals are communicated real-time with partners, stakeholders, and adjacent systems to proactively inform load status and upcoming exceptions. A yard where every document is digital, wrapped in pragmatic automated workflows and built to handle the real-world exceptions of a world class supply chain.
