Blue Yonder remains a leader in Gartner's supply chain report
Blue Yonder has been positioned as a Leader for the fourteenth consecutive time in the Gartner Magic Quadrant report for Warehouse Management Systems based on its ability to execute and completeness of vision. The assessment, conducted by research and advisory firm Gartner, evaluates warehouse management system providers from across the sector. Blue Yonder is among two companies to be recognised as a Leader in three of Gartner's Magic Quadrant reports for 2025, which also include Supply Chain Planning Solutions and Transportation Management Systems. Blue Yonder attributes its position in the report to its extensive range of warehouse management solutions, delivered through the Blue Yonder Platform. The company has recently launched a next-generation warehouse management solution as a part of its Cognitive Solutions offering, which integrates artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and cloud-native technology within a single solution. This new solution is designed to provide scalability, allow for low-code extensibility, enable code updates without downtime, and give streamlined access to AI and ML capabilities. Its aim is to assist businesses in improving warehouse efficiency, adaptability, visibility, and operational performance, as well as to lower cost-to-serve and cost per case metrics within warehouse environments. "The warehouse is a pivotal component of the supply chain, so companies should look to enhance resilience and sustainability across their warehouse, transportation, and planning sectors to better meet customer needs," said Wayne Usie, Chief Strategy Officer at Blue Yonder. "Blue Yonder's supply chain solutions empower companies to coordinate sourcing, production, logistics, and network strategies within a unified platform. This comprehensive approach enables companies to effectively plan their network, warehouse, and labour capacities from start to finish, resulting in shortened lead times, improved service levels, optimised operational efficiencies, maximised business opportunities, and reduced costs." Development of Blue Yonder's warehouse management solutions has been underway for more than two decades. The company is rolling out several new features in upcoming releases, including enhanced equipment tracking powered by computer vision and machine learning to automate monitoring in the yard and create 3D yard maps for operational oversight. Other planned enhancements include advanced people-robot collaboration, providing performance tracking for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and automatic assignment reprocessing for transaction errors. Additional capabilities will support retail store replenishment with inventory visibility, garment handling, and ratio packing tools aimed at improving efficiency in store inventory management for both retailers and logistics service providers. Blue Yonder is also adding capabilities for returns processing and tracking, such as visibility into Returns Merchandise Authorisation and automated decisioning for faster returns processing. An announced Warehouse Ops Agent tool is designed to monitor real-time operational changes and identify trends for informed decision-making within the warehouse setting. The firm provides its warehouse management solutions to customers spanning 19 industry sectors, including consumer products, food and beverage, grocery, automotive, industrial, life sciences, and logistics service providers. Blue Yonder's delivery model includes a partner ecosystem and its own Blue Yonder Global Professional Services organisation. Recently, Blue Yonder signed a strategic agreement with GXO, described as the world's largest pure-play contract logistics provider. GXO will deploy Blue Yonder's logistics software solutions to improve speed, flexibility, and predictability for its client base. Under the agreement, Blue Yonder will be one of GXO's preferred software providers for warehouse management systems, supporting the logistics firm's need for scalable implementations across industries as it continues to grow. With its placement in the latest Magic Quadrant for Warehouse Management Systems, Blue Yonder has been recognised as a leader in all three of Gartner's 2025 Magic Quadrant reports relevant to supply chain execution: Supply Chain Planning, Transportation Management Systems, and Warehouse Management Systems.
