• Evaluation based on Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision;
• Blue Yonder is recognized as a Leader in three Gartner Magic Quadrant reports covering Supply Chain Planning Solutions, Transportation Management Systems and Warehouse Management Systems1.
Blue Yonder, the leader in digital supply chain transformation, has been positioned by Gartner (gartner.com) as a Leader in the recently released 2025 Magic Quadrant for Supply Chain Planning Solutions2 based on the Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision. The company is positioned furthest in Completeness of Vision.
Blue Yonder attributes this recognition to its vision of connecting the supply chain from end-to-end. This approach has been brought to life through interwoven supply chain planning capabilities, built on the Blue Yonder Platform and backed by artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and a common data cloud, as well as native connectivity across Blue Yonder’s extensive set of execution and network solutions. Further supported by decades of success serving the world’s leading manufacturers and retailers, Blue Yonder’s solutions, including Demand and Supply Planning, Integrated Business Planning, and Allocation and Replenishment, fully integrate long-term and real-time supply chain planning across demand, procurement, production, and distribution. The end result is Blue Yonder optimizing transportation, warehouse and commerce strategies while simultaneously adjusting planning and inventory based on real-time execution data. This allows customers to be more responsive, agile, and precise in how they plan and execute, delivering a direct connection between planning and Blue Yonder’s global multi-tier, multi-enterprise Blue Yonder Network.
Blue Yonder has been recognized as a Leader 12 times in Supply Chain Planning. This includes five consecutive times in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Supply Chain Planning Solutions2, three times in the previously published Gartner Magic Quadrant for Sales and Operations Planning Systems of Differentiation3, and four times in the previously published Gartner Magic Quadrant for Supply Chain Planning System of Record report4.
“In today’s rapidly evolving market landscape, businesses need supply chain planning solutions that not only adapt but anticipate change,” said Wayne Usie, chief strategy officer, Blue Yonder. “Our cognitive solutions, powered by AI and ML, enable companies to plan smarter and respond faster, helping them stay ahead in a complex world, especially as things like tariffs and disruptions occur. By transforming traditional planning into a proactive, concurrent approach, our supply chain planning solutions empower our customers to have the speed and agility required to achieve greater efficiency, resilience, and alignment with their business and sustainability goals.”
Blue Yonder transformed the demand and supply planning processes into a single concurrent motion when it launched its Demand & Supply Planning solution in its Q4 2024 product release. This solution simultaneously analyzes changing demand patterns and supply availability to balance all aspects of planning collaboratively for maximum efficiency, resiliency and service level attainment. With concurrent planning that harmonizes necessary supply, sourcing factors, and capital resource availability, businesses can reduce costs, increase agility, and cut inventory waste. Planners can utilize AI and ML to automate scenario testing and provide insight-driven recommendations to streamline decision-making, optimize inventory, and better serve specific customer segments and regions. This then improves cost efficiency and on-time, in-full delivery.
Working in tandem with Demand and Supply Planning, AI-backed Integrated Business Planning provides forecasts that drive alignment across supply chain and financial goals. Businesses can now accelerate planning across supply chain and financial operations, increasing support for custom risk and opportunity scenarios.
With this latest Gartner Magic Quadrant for Supply Chain Planning, Blue Yonder is one of only two evaluated companies recognized as a Leader in three Gartner Magic Quadrant reports covering Supply Chain Planning, Transportation Management Systems, and Warehouse Management Systems1.
