公司案例
业务挑战
SodaStream was consolidating its existing operations into a new campus in Israel. The company needed to rapidly implement an agile, flexible warehouse management solution to maximize the efficiency of its new warehouse. SodaStream had specific requirements regarding put-away, storage and mixing inventory — and a large number of unskilled employees who had to be trained in any new technology.
解决方案
Working together, Blue Yonder and its strategic partner eWave Mobile delivered a rapid implementation of Blue Yonder’s warehouse management solution, with basic functionality up and running in just three months.
“Speed of delivery is critical to SodaStream’s success. As we are doing plan-to-order manufacturing, any delay within the process will have a critical impact on our efficiency, and also on order fulfillment rates. We use Blue Yonder mobile technology in our warehouses to be much more efficient in the way we are doing order fulfillment and in the way we are managing our inventory. As a result, we reduced our inventory value from $120 million to $90 million.”

Improved disruption management leads to a 30% reduction in order fulfillment time
“While warehouses represent an enormous cost center, they are also one of SodaStream’s key strategic assets — because it’s where customer promises are fulfilled. Blue Yonder’s warehouse management solution enables SodaStream warehouse staff to skillfully handle real-world disruptions, driving improved performance and predictable results. We’ve decreased order fulfillment time by 30%.”
A value-added partnership leads to a full ROI in just six months
“SodaStream’s quick success is a testament to Blue Yonder’s technology, but also eWave Mobile’s hands-on approach to implementing distribution center design and warehouse automation. We worked with eWave from the beginning of the project, and they managed to deliver the required scope within the right time. The Blue Yonder solution was live in just three months, and we achieved a full return on investment in six months.”
