Case Study: PepsiCo Latin America achieves over 80% forecast accuracy and a rapid 30% ROI with Blue Yonder

PepsiCo Latin America Achieves Over 80% Forecast Accuracy, Driving Greater Precision

PepsiCo Latin America, with $7.2 billion in annual sales and operations across 34 countries, needed a customer-focused, perfectly synchronized value chain. Rising demand variability, materials costs and transportation expenses made it imperative to standardize supply planning and execution regionally and improve speed, accuracy and responsiveness.

Partnering with Blue Yonder, PepsiCo rolled out demand planning, supply planning, inventory optimization, shipment scheduling and promotions to create an integrated, automated supply chain. The initiative delivered forecast accuracy above 80%, higher service levels with less inventory, and a rapid 30% return on investment while reducing cost-to-serve and improving capacity utilization.
