Case Study: Southeast Toyota Distributors reduces excess inventory by 10% with Blue Yonder

Southeast Toyota Distributors reduces excess inventory by 10% and transforms inventory management with Blue Yonder

Southeast Toyota Distributors faced the challenge of modernizing inventory management and replacing a 40-year-old legacy mainframe while maintaining dealer fill rates and supporting growth across new distribution centers. Using Blue Yonder’s demand and supply planning solution, the company aimed to create a single source of truth for parts planning and procurement.

Blue Yonder implemented automated planning and usability-focused workflows, including forecasting, safety stock optimization, vendor collaboration, and rules-based approvals. The result was a 10% reduction in excess inventory, planning support for about 68,000 parts, and smoother new DC launches with prebuild inventory managed ahead of go-live.
