Case Study: Bayer achieves a 4% reduction in logistics costs and improved asset utilization with Blue Yonder

Bayer’s Digital Logistics Transformation Improves Operational Efficiency, Asset Utilization, and Customer Service

Bayer Crop Science, which serves customers in more than 70 countries from roughly 50 facilities, struggled with seasonal, time‑sensitive demand amid rising supply‑chain volatility, transportation disruptions, and disparate regional tools and processes. Those conditions limited its responsiveness and made global standardization and visibility across suppliers and logistics service providers a critical business challenge.

Bayer implemented Blue Yonder’s Transportation Management across its global sites and added One Network Enterprises’ Control Tower for end‑to‑end visibility. The combined solution standardized transportation practices, enabled real‑time tracking and data‑driven decisions, streamlined carrier procurement, and improved customer service—delivering a 4% reduction in logistics costs, roughly a 7% increase in asset utilization, and measurable gains in on‑time delivery and carrier performance.
