Blue Yonder

4.2/5

“Corporate tool—okay if you have talent in-house”

I shifted from smaller SCM tools to Blue Yonder for global chain management. It handles processes end-to-end. But configuring vendor-level tolerances or custom EDI flows required in-house experts or costly consultants.

Pros : End-to-end SCM for retail, manufacturing, 3PL; robust functionality

Cons : Requires internal superusers or expensive integrators, especially to configure vendor tolerances or EDI

Switched from : StockIQ

Reason to switch : Needed powerful SCM—but needed expert staff to operate it effectively.

4.5/5

“Scheduling app is almost unusable”

We switched to Blue Yonder Workforce Management for shift scheduling. The idea sounded good—but the mobile app kept failing to display shifts. We couldn’t log hours, and support said an update was months away. Painful.

Pros : Idea of workforce scheduling is sound

Cons : App is buggy, frequently fails, and support had no resolution timeline

Switched from : MESH Works

Reason to switch : Needed standardized scheduling across shifts—but app reliability was poor.

4.5/5

“Not intuitive, but gets easier over time”

I switched from Oracle SCM tools to Blue Yonder, expecting smoother workflows. While the initial experience was terrible—menus felt unintuitive—it does become manageable with time. And then they update, and you miss the old version.

Pros : Very powerful once mastered

Cons : Non-intuitive UX and frequent version changes frustrate seasoned users

Switched from : Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM

Reason to switch : Wanted stronger forecasting tools, even if UX is rough.
