Success stories in Transportation Procurement
With revenues exceeding $23 billion, Bayer Crop Science provides agricultural products to customers in more than 70 countries. With Blue Yonder’s help, Bayer is implementing a single logistics platform — with shared data, metrics, workflows and best practices ― across more than 350 locations, supporting the company’s goal for global standardization. While the implementation is ongoing, Bayer Crop Science has already achieved impressive results, including reductions in both transportation costs and environmental impacts.
Mitr Phol Sugar is Thailand’s and Asia’s biggest sugar producer, and is in the Top 5 for largest sugar production capacity worldwide. Mitr Phol’s fully-owned logistics company, Fast and Fair, was challenged to deliver Mitr Phol’s products on time due to a lack of visibility and a lengthy, manual process for managing disruptions. Blue Yonder’s transportation management solution supports an on-time delivery rate of up to 90%, while also reducing the annual logistics spend by 5%.
