An acquisition to expand into returns management
Blue Yonder has signed an agreement to acquire Doddle, a first and last mile technology business. Once completed, Blue Yonder can expand its portfolio to final mile, returns management and reverse logistics solutions.
Blue Yonder will be able to offer logistics providers a simplified experience for their own customers and growth potential as they look to build more sustainable supply chains. Doddle’s self-service return kiosks and pick-up, drop-off networks offer an efficient solution to returns management challenges.
Duncan Angove, CEO, Blue Yonder: “The proliferation of e-commerce — and, therefore, returns — has placed increased pressure on carriers, muddied the waters of inventory management, and created frustrations for shoppers. Doddle’s capabilities unlock a differentiated, superior customer experience and will help us to further our mission to transform the supply chain.” (mk)
