Case Study: Castellini achieves fresher produce and end-to-end inventory visibility with Blue Yonder

Castellini to Ensure Produce Freshness Across the Supply Chain with Blue Yonder

Castellini, a family-owned produce and floral distributor founded in 1896 and one of the largest fresh-produce wholesalers in the U.S., needed to modernize as it consolidated multiple warehouses into a single state-of-the-art facility. Rising consumer demand for freshness and availability, expanded value‑added services, and an outgrown legacy warehousing system created inventory visibility, coordination, and waste‑reduction challenges across its regional supply chain.

To address this, Castellini selected Blue Yonder’s Luminate™ platform—deploying warehouse management, labor management, and tasking solutions implemented by enVista—bringing AI/ML-driven inventory visibility and optimized task orchestration. The rollout provides end-to-end tracking, improved operational efficiency, better monitoring of produce freshness, reduced food waste, and greater agility and profitability for Castellini and its customers (go‑live scheduled for Fall 2020).
