Case Study: The Dannon Company achieves competitive advantage and improved on-time deliveries with BluJay Solutions

Dannon Gains a Competitive Advantage with BluJay Solutions

Dannon, the U.S. arm of Danone and one of the country’s largest yogurt manufacturers, operates three plants, six distribution centers and hundreds of daily loads in a fast-growing, highly perishable market. Rapid volume growth and a manual, phone-and-fax appointment process left scheduling and visibility fragmented—dock schedulers were bottlenecks, carriers and plants lacked real‑time visibility, and customers wanted better on‑time service.

Dannon deployed BluJay’s SaaS Transportation Management integrated with SAP to centralize planning, execution, claims and appointment scheduling, adding an online calendar-based dock scheduler, real‑time appointment monitoring, delivery tracking and automated charge calculations. The solution saved about 1.5 hours per resource per day, improved order accuracy, communications and on‑time deliveries, reduced detention and other costs, freed internal resources for other initiatives, and helped Dannon gain a competitive advantage.
