Case Study: Avnet achieves 70% increase in ship-from-stock and 600 hours/month planning time savings with Blue Yonder forecasting and education services

Avnet - Customer Case Study

Avnet, a global distributor of electronic components and IT solutions, needed to boost planner productivity and standardize forecasting after discovering they weren’t fully using Blue Yonder’s forecasting capabilities. Planners were still doing manual forecasts, missing opportunities to shorten lead times, improve accuracy, and deliver more value-added services to customers.

Blue Yonder delivered a five-day on-site training with pre- and post-assessments, driving rapid proficiency gains and adoption of statistical forecasting and mapping tools. As a result Avnet reclaimed about 600 planning hours per month, dramatically increased the share of inventory forecast through the system, and raised ship‑from‑stock rates by 70% for a major business unit, improving customer experience and revenue.
