Case Study: Dole Foods achieves 40% inventory reduction and >95% fill rates with Blue Yonder

Dole Food & Beverage Group Transforms Its Supply Chain Planning and Visibility with Remarkable Results

Dole Food & Beverage Group, a global leader in packaged, frozen and dried fruit and juices, faced major supply chain disruption and volatility that drove up inventory and eroded service levels. The company needed more agile, cross-functional planning and better visibility to make faster, data-driven decisions across its manufacturing and distribution network.

Partnering with Blue Yonder, Dole deployed cloud-native demand planning, supply planning, S&OP and Data Access Services (launched in 2022 and used by 150+ employees) to enable near real-time, end-to-end planning and reporting. The transformation delivered a 40% reduction in inventory in 18 months, improved forecast accuracy and lift ed fill rates to over 95% in key markets, while speeding decision-making and improving supply chain visibility.
