With its third acquisition since Q4 2023, Blue Yonder customers will have the opportunity to collaborate in real time with trading partners both upstream and downstream across all tiers of their supply chain<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DALLAS \u2013 Aug. 1, 2024 \u2013 <\/strong>Blue Yonder<\/a>, the leader in digital supply chain transformations, today announced the closing of its acquisition of One Network Enterprises (One Network)<\/a> at an enterprise value of approximately $839 million. The acquisition gives Blue Yonder customers the ability to collaborate and share data \u2013 from inventory levels to raw and finished goods materials movement \u2013 in real time across all trading partners up and down the supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With increasing volatility and continuous disruptions, retailers, manufacturers and logistics service providers (LSPs) need to achieve multi-enterprise transparency with trading partners, unify plans and actions, and conduct business in real time in order to enable more accurate cross-functional decision-making and eliminate the time gap between order planning and fulfillment. It\u2019s no longer sufficient for companies to rely on periodic updates about their inventory, capacity, and resources; true business agility requires real-time information across an entire network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the addition of One Network\u2019s commercial technology, Blue Yonder can now offer customers a multi-enterprise, multi-tier network ecosystem; artificial intelligence (AI)-powered supply chain assistants to identify, monitor, analyze, and resolve problems; and a simplified process to onboard and work with trading partners. Real-time inventory and capacity views help customers match supply and demand, detect and resolve problems, and orchestrate resources across their network of trading partners. One Network will continue to independently service and provide tailored technology solutions to its government customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne Network\u2019s industry-leading commercial technology will seamlessly be integrated into the Blue Yonder Platform<\/a>. Their supply chain network and intelligent control tower deliver superpowered insights to businesses looking to fortify their supply chains,\u201d said Duncan Angove, CEO, Blue Yonder. \u201cOur customers can boost visibility, agility and speed thanks to a single source of truth provided by the Blue Yonder Platform and the digital network, all enhanced by our AI assistants, solvers and predictions. This allows customers to see issues both downstream and upstream in real time, so they can avoid disruptions and make better decisions. From One Network\u2019s capabilities to its forward-looking mission, the company perfectly embodies Blue Yonder\u2019s vision to transform the supply chain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this acquisition, Blue Yonder customers will be able to address volatility and disruptions in the market, plan with greater accuracy, meet rising customer expectations, and simplify complexity within their supply chains. Blue Yonder customers will have access to the following benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
