Blue Yonder Elevates Transportation Management Solution With Advanced Cognitive Intelligence

Evolve transportation management with a multi-enterprise network, AI, intuitive design, and sustainability, to empower supply chains to achieve greater efficiency and resilience

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In today's dynamic supply chain environment, transportation operations are facing mounting pressure to rein in costs, exceed both internal and external service levels, and reduce emissions to meet corporate and regulatory goals, all while trying to minimize impacts from disruptions, like tariffs and geopolitical shifts. Addressing these challenges head-on, Blue Yonder continues to enhance its industry-leading Transportation Management solution, adding a multi-enterprise network framework, machine-speed precision, and cognitive intelligence to transform transportation operations into a resilient, efficient and intelligent part of the supply chain.

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.

Part of Blue Yonder Cognitive Solutions, Transportation Management sits on the Blue Yonder Platform and 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.

“In today’s disruption-filled world, leaders require business continuity and need transportation solutions that provide resiliency, cost savings, and efficiency while complying with regulatory requirements,” said Gurdip Singh, chief product officer, Blue Yonder. “Our latest enhancements and vision enable customers to transition from reactive to predictive and prescriptive operations, with real-time visibility and optimization powered by AI and a multi-enterprise network. From ocean to over-the-road, our Transportation Management solution allow our customers to seamlessly scale their shipment volume from anywhere, at any time.”

The latest enhancements and future innovations include:

• Network-enabled transportation: 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.
• Sustainability optimization and insights: 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.
• AI agent: 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.
• Embedded predictive AI insights: 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.
• Role-specific experience: 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.
