Optimera Implements Blue Ridge Supply Chain to Identify Efficiency Opportunities

Blue Ridge, a leading Cloud demand forecasting and replenishment provider, recently announced that Optimera has implemented the company’s supply chain analytics solution to capitalize on big data across stores and suppliers and further elevate supply chain performance. Optimera is part of the international group Saint - Gobain that has 190,000 employees in 64 countries and is Europe's largest distributor of building materials. Blue Ridge Cloud supply chain planning and analytics solutions optimize product availability, inventory, and logistics costs, and help to increase cash flow by 50% or more and improve sales by double-digits, while stabilizing or even reducing inventory up to 30%.

Optimera was motivated to leverage unique capabilities that come as a result of Blue Ridge’s Cloud-based platform which provides worldwide access to benchmarking reports, user flexibility, and custom configurations for forecasting and replenishment analytics to executive dashboards with strategic, financial insights. After implementing, the system provided a wealth of opportunities for new analysis including more informed decisions and improved category management processes.  As a result, Blue Ridge Analytics has increased profitability, improved cash flow and strengthened the company's competitive position.
