Blue Yonder to acquire One Network for $839M

Additionally, Blue Yonder said it should improve the supplier and carrier relationship, reducing order creation to fulfillment process from days to minutes, and decreasing costs for end consumers.

“Supply chains have become more complex, and as more and more companies reduce risk by diversifying sourcing of products globally, there is an increased demand for the sharing of information and resources across the whole value chain. This, along with increased disruptions and geopolitical risks, has put pressure on organizations to build more resilient and robust supply chains. … Combined with One Network’s capabilities, Blue Yonder will establish itself as a leading supply chain solutions company that can offer a unified, end-to-end supply chain ecosystem,” said Duncan Angove, CEO of Blue Yonder.

In 2021, Panasonic acquired Blue Yonder, marking a strategic shift toward integrating operational efficiency software with its renowned hardware offerings. This move aimed to establish a comprehensive one-stop solution for end consumers, blending Panasonic’s hardware expertise with Blue Yonder’s operational software capabilities.

Over the past five quarters, Blue Yonder has focused its attention on the supply chain technology space, acquiring factory planning solution Flexis AG and reverse logistics technology Doddle. While those transactions did not disclose costs, Blue Yonder did confirm that with these three deals, it has invested more than $1 billion in supply chain acquisitions.
