Case Study: The ODP Corporation achieves $30 million inventory reduction with Blue Yonder

The ODP Corporation realizes $30 million in inventory reduction for B2B and ecommerce operations with Blue Yonder

The ODP Corporation needed to modernize complex demand and supply planning across its retail, B2B, ecommerce, and logistics operations. Its legacy, mainframe-based forecasting process required heavy manual intervention and couldn’t keep up with volatile demand across brands like Office Depot, ODP Business Solutions, and VEYER, creating stock imbalances and inefficiencies.

Blue Yonder provided AI-powered end-to-end supply chain planning and execution tools, including demand and supply planning and space planning, to automate forecasting and optimize inventory placement. The results included a 16% improvement in retail forecast accuracy, a 5% improvement in B2B forecast accuracy, and a $30 million reduction in inventory, all achieved without disrupting distribution operations.
