GREENWICH, Conn., Oct. 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GXO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE: GXO), the world’s largest pure-play contract logistics provider, announced today that it is teaming up with Blue Yonder, a leader in intelligent supply chain software, to deploy a new end-to-end supply chain software solution to power its shared warehousing solution GXO Direct in the U.S.

“By leveraging Blue Yonder’s solutions, we’ll enable customers to add features and customized capabilities on an open WMS platform,” said Eduardo Pelleissone, President, Americas and Asia Pacific, GXO. “Customers will now have an agile and cost-effective order management solution with real-time visibility of inventory and orders across all sites.

To meet their needs, we are deploying Blue Yonder’s SaaS-based supply chain execution solutions. We’re seamlessly onboarding new customers twice as fast and giving them greater insight into operations, better forecasting with real-time data and updates on order fulfillment.”

GXO is implementing several Blue Yonder solutions to support its GXO Direct network in the U.S., including Warehouse Management System (WMS); Labor Management; Order Management (OMS); Warehouse Execution System (WES), which includes Robotics Hub and Warehouse Tasking; Billing Management, and more.
