Blue Yonder Acquires One Network Enterprises to Enhance Supply Chain Agility
Blue Yonder, a leader in digital supply chain transformations, has completed its acquisition of One Network Enterprises (One Network) for approximately $839 million. This acquisition empowers Blue Yonder customers to collaborate and share real-time data across all trading partners in the supply chain, from inventory levels to the movement of raw and finished goods.
Amid increasing volatility and disruptions, retailers, manufacturers, and logistics service providers (LSPs) need multi-enterprise transparency, unified planning and actions, and real-time business operations to improve cross-functional decision-making and eliminate delays between order planning and fulfillment. Real business agility demands up-to-the-minute information across the entire network, beyond periodic updates on inventory, capacity, and resources.
By integrating One Network’s commercial technology, Blue Yonder now offers a multi-enterprise, multi-tier network ecosystem, AI-powered supply chain assistants for problem-solving, and streamlined processes for onboarding and collaborating with trading partners. Real-time views of inventory and capacity help customers match supply with demand, resolve issues, and manage resources across their network. One Network will continue to independently serve its government customers with tailored technology solutions.
“One Network’s leading commercial technology will seamlessly integrate into the Blue Yonder Platform, enhancing our customers’ visibility, agility, and speed,” said Duncan Angove, CEO of Blue Yonder. “Our platform, combined with the digital network and AI assistants, provides a single source of truth, allowing customers to anticipate and avoid disruptions, and make informed decisions. One Network’s capabilities and mission align perfectly with our vision to transform the supply chain.”
With this acquisition, Blue Yonder customers can address market volatility and disruptions, plan with greater accuracy, meet rising customer expectations, and simplify complex supply chains. Benefits for Blue Yonder customers include:
- Real-Time Visibility: Anticipate risks, assess scenarios, and redirect resources instantly across multiple tiers to maximize business impact and sustainability.
- Resource Optimization: Better serve business customers and capitalize on market opportunities by optimizing capacity, inventory, workforce, and carriers.
- Collaborative Orchestration: Use a shared dataset to plan and execute across a global network of 150,000 trading partners, optimizing critical KPIs.
“Blue Yonder is building the supply chain of the future,” said Angove. “Success in today’s environment requires faster decision-making, more collaboration with partners, and quicker responsiveness to disruptions. One Network’s multi-tier, multi-enterprise network is crucial, and we’re excited to join forces to make a lasting impact.”
The acquisition also expands Blue Yonder’s presence in Dallas, where it is designating a Global Innovation Center. In May, during its annual customer conference, ICON, Blue Yonder announced a new AI Innovation Studio in Dallas, hosting design-led AI Agent workshops with customers. Blue Yonder also plans to add a state-of-the-art Customer Experience Center in Dallas to showcase innovations transforming global supply chains.
One Network is the third company Blue Yonder has acquired since Q4 2023, following Doddle in November 2023 and flexis AG in February. These deals represent about $1 billion in M&A investments, highlighting Blue Yonder’s commitment to transforming the global supply chain.
