Case Study: AEON achieves improved on-shelf availability and rapid ROI with Blue Yonder Category Management Suite

Asian retailer partners with Blue Yonder Software to put the customer first

AEON CO. (M) BHD., a leading multi-format retailer in Malaysia guided by a “Customer First” philosophy, needed to keep the right products on store shelves to meet local demand across supermarkets, specialty and convenience stores. Key challenges were improving localized assortments, eliminating out-of-stocks, speeding time-to-market for allocations and using a cloud-based solution to reduce implementation time and realize rapid ROI.

Blue Yonder’s category management suite delivered space-aware schematic plans, channel clustering for localized assortments, and integration with AEON’s PROFIT system for auto-ordering, all hosted on Microsoft Azure. The solution improved on-shelf availability and plan compliance, reduced out-of-stocks and obsolete inventory, increased profitability, and produced a rapid return on investment with around-the-clock cloud support.
