Case Study: Anheuser-Busch achieves real-time transportation optimization and cost control with Blue Yonder

Building a Platform for Transportation Optimization at Anheuser-Busch

Anheuser-Busch, a 160‑year‑old brewer operating more than 120 facilities and employing over 19,000 people, needed to better orchestrate transportation across breweries, warehouses and verticals like metal container plants. The company struggled with an outdated technology stack and manual processes that made it difficult to manage demand, delivery and costs across a highly complex network.

To address this, Anheuser‑Busch deployed Blue Yonder’s transportation management platform across its North American operations, integrating TMS into order creation, standardizing data and automating exception management. The result is real‑time visibility and orchestration, improved asset utilization, quantified savings and the foundation for machine‑learning driven capacity planning and automated re‑planning that will continue to improve performance over time.
