DESIGN Our business analysts help customers with the translation of the Concept of Operations and the Business Requirements Documents into a functional and technical design. Together with the customer we transform idea’s into real life solutions. GAP ANALYSES During a translation into a functional design, there are always gaps to cope with. Our consultants help identifying those gaps and find a suitable solution which we describe in detail, so there are no obstacles for a successful implementation. AUDITING AND TUNING Before implementing a new or existing customer into Blue Yonder, it is a necessity to know if there are technical gaps that need to be addressed to achieve a successful implementation. A database audit can identify reasons of decreasing performance and prevent blocking issues. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT A running operation constantly needs to be improved to keep up with the competition and the customers expectations. Our lean & agile experts help customers to adapt with success and minimal effort.

Implementation

PROJECTS Large new customer implementations require project teams. We blend into your project teams, share our expertise and make sure that we meet deadlines together. Because of our years of experience, we have a large library of known issues when implementing new customers. When projects are getting bigger, the overview is needed in every area. Our tools give insight into project statuses over multiple teams. Our way of working makes sure we are all on the same page. CONFIGURATION AND IMPLEMENTATION When everything is becoming clear, we start implementing and configuring Blue Yonder. In this way, we can already involve operational users. DATA ARCHIVING Many companies struggle with data retention. Data must be archived to keep the performance of the production environment high, but also all data needs to be accessible for years in some departments. We have built an archiving solution to serve both needs.

Development

DDA DEVELOPMENT A big benefit of Blue Yonder software is the ability to develop new functionalities. Deep knowledge and a desire to look for solutions in standards are needed to make implementations a success. We have developed our own methods and tools to help. INTEGRATOR Communication with other parties is needed, in a format agreed with the third parties. Blue Yonder comes with Integrator to support communications with any other party. Our consultants help with every aspect of integration, like field mapping, development, etc. REPORTING JDA has provided a great toolset for reporting, labelling and data screens. We’ve also successfully integrated other reporting tools, like Crystal Reports, JasperReports or Qlikview. GRID When there is a desire to add an extra layer of insulation between the core system of Blue Yonder and all customisations, we have got you covered as well. We have our own solution platform the Grid, which can be linked and integrated with Blue Yonder with ease but retains the desired level of insulation. This also enables the possibility to develop mobile solutions, directly connected to your Blue Yonder setup.
