Case Study: Walgreens cuts transportation costs, speeds deliveries and lowers emissions with Blue Yonder (JDA) Transportation Management

Walgreens leverages Blue Yonder Transportation Management to fulfill its promise of happy and healthy across more than 8000 US stores

Walgreens, with more than 8,000 U.S. stores and over 10 million daily customer interactions, faced a complex logistics challenge: rapidly deliver the right product mix to the right place at the right time across a vast, growing network while replacing outdated legacy tools. Speed, visibility and automated decision-making were critical to keep stores stocked and customers happy.

Walgreens deployed JDA Transportation Management (supported by JDA Education Services) to model, bid and optimize its end-to-end transportation network. The solution streamlined carrier networks, improved planner efficiency and delivery agility, reduced transportation spend and truck miles, and delivered both financial and environmental benefits.
