With L.L.Bean implementing Blue Yonder’s merchandise financial planning, forecasting and replenishment capabilities, they can now more accurately predict sales, buy products from their vendors and allocate those products to the appropriate stores.
While leveraging these capabilities, L.L.Bean is actively exploring other solutions to maximize the value of the integrated Blue Yonder ecosystem. “We ultimately chose them because we really felt that they could deliver on our critical business requirements,” explains Process Lead, L.L.Bean.
L.L.Bean’s success goes beyond the implementation of technology. Throughout the design phase, Blue Yonder consultants were not only advising the team about their current situation, we worked with L.L.Bean to consider future objectives and goals and how their next implementation can fit in with the solution that is being currently designed.
“We have a very strategic partnership, and as we’re working on solutions, we’re not just thinking about one year ahead or two years ahead. We’re really thinking about the longer term,” reports Process Lead, L.L.Bean.
