Transporeon Partners with Blue Yonder

Transporeon’s Real-Time Visibility solution – Sixfold by Transporeon – will provide additional value to Blue Yonder’s Transportation Management Solution (TMS) customers. Blue Yonder’s TMS customers can use Sixfold by Transporeon globally, without regional restrictions, and for all modes of transport: air, sea, road, and multimodal.

(Ulm) Transporeon, Europe’s largest transport management platform, today announces a partnership with Blue Yonder, a global leader in digital supply chains and omni-channel commerce fulfillment. The goal is to provide their joint customers with Real-Time Visibility (RTV). As part of the partnership, Transporeon’s RTV solution – Sixfold by Transporeon – will enable Blue Yonder’s TMS customers to access real-time data, providing shippers, carriers, and end customers with accurate information on Estimated Times of Arrival (ETAs) for their shipments.

The ability to track goods and/or products during transport and thus gain a clear overview of one’s inventory and current activities remains a priority for supply chain leaders. Improving customer service and cost control through in-motion inventory management, providing proactive status updates, limiting disruptions, and mitigating risks are essential for a strong and flexible supply chain.

Benefits for Customers

• Holistic approach to end-to-end management, execution, and visibility within supply chains.
• Access to the largest global network of over 130,000 carriers.
• Improved connectivity through expanded offerings from logistics service providers.
• Increased Net Promoter Score (NPS) of customers and improved collaboration with carriers.

“This partnership represents an important step for both companies. Sixfold by Transporeon is a top-notch, immediately deployable Real-Time Visibility service that offers tracking of shipments by air, sea, road, as well as multimodal transport. Transporeon’s network services equip Blue Yonder’s TMS customers with state-of-the-art features,” says Stephan Sieber, CEO of Transporeon.
