Evaluation based on Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision

Blue Yonder is the only company recognized as a Leader in three Gartner Magic Quadrant reports covering supply chain planning solutions, transportation management systems and warehouse management systems

Blue Yonder, a leading digital supply chain and logistics provider, has been positioned by Gartner as a Leader in the recently released Magic Quadrant for Transportation Management Systems¹ based on the “Ability to Execute” and “Completeness of Vision.” Blue Yonder attributes this position to its TMS solution and its Luminate® Platform, which combined offer advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) transportation planning and execution capabilities, data management, and integration to the logistics ecosystem.

Blue Yonder has been recognized as a Leader 12 consecutive times in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for TMS². In the 2023 report, Blue Yonder was positioned among a total of five vendors in the Leader quadrant. The company’s position as a Leader represents its strengths and cautions in market understanding, operations and marketing execution, among other criteria.

In addition, according to the Gartner Critical Capabilities for Transportation Management Systems report³, Blue Yonder ranked highest for Level 3 Use Case and second highest for Level 2, 4, and 5 Use cases.

“Our customers are utilizing Blue Yonder’s TMS, powered by Luminate Platform, to digitally transform their transportation operations. The solution allows them to manage and optimize their end-to-end business processes from transportation network modeling to planning to execution, carrier collaboration, and last-mile delivery. Our customers also have faster access to data and integration capabilities with their ecosystems, allowing them to meet both their own needs and their customers’,” said Wayne Usie, chief strategy officer, Blue Yonder.

Combined with Luminate Platform, which provides AI-powered intelligence and real-time data, Blue Yonder’s TMS offers customers full visibility, orchestration, and first-to-last mile optimization, especially for 3PL/4PL companies, transportation operations of shippers, and their carrier networks. In addition, Blue Yonder’s logistics network provides shippers with better out-of-the-box connectivity and modernized service offerings from rate and capacity provisioning to tendering, freight tracking and financial services.

“As the transportation and logistics industry continues to transform, in tandem with sales volume growth in certain regions, we need to make sure we are supporting that growth with improved responsiveness, while remaining efficient. By integrating Blue Yonder’s transportation management with track and trace capabilities, Bayer’s ability to serve our customers improved through the increased visibility into our transportation decisions,” said Johnny Ivanyi, Global Head of Distribution Excellence, Bayer Crop Science.
