Galeria Taps Blue Yonder for Supply Chain Optimisation

With Blue Yonder’s capabilities, Galeria can forecast, plan, and execute with accuracy – optimising inventory, improving fulfilment and supply chain, and driving operational efficiency.

Galeria has partnered with Blue Yonder to deploy its demand and replenishment capabilities, aiming to strengthen its supply chain and boost operational efficiency. This strategic investment enables the retailer to deliver a responsive and seamless shopping experience across in-store and online channels.

Galeria previously relied mainly on manual processes that limited the company’s ability to forecast demand and accurately allocate inventory across its stores. Through collaboration between Galeria’s IT, purchasing and supply chain teams and Blue Yonder, the teams were able to significantly improve the retailer’s data quality, availability, and business process efficiency. 

The collaboration helped establish well-defined system interfaces to support seamless data integration and automation. An important step in this transformation was creating a forecasting model based on a detailed analysis of transactional and promotional data.

“Galeria’s supply chain management is undergoing a significant transformation, with a primary focus on boosting customer satisfaction. To achieve this, it was crucial to enhance both stock availability and allocation accuracy,” said Moritz Winter, Chief Supply Chain Officer, Galeria.  

“There was an urgent need to improve the management of allocations and replenishments, streamline business processes, and implement standardisation and automation. Galeria recognised Blue Yonder as the ideal supply chain solutions provider for this transformation.”

“Blue Yonder’s demand and replenishment capabilities provide a high level of standardisation, AI-driven forecasting, and process simplification, making them a perfect fit for our needs,” said Alexander Rings, Director, Inventory Management & Buying Analytics, Galeria. 

“The implementation was initially designed to help us transform into a customer- and demand-driven supply chain by leveraging software as an enabler; however, it also reshaped our understanding of central business processes and needs. While stock availability increased significantly, we are in parallel working on fundamentally improving data and buying processes.”

With Blue Yonder’s capabilities, Galeria can forecast, plan, and execute with accuracy – optimising inventory, improving fulfilment and supply chain, and driving operational efficiency across both in-store and online channels. This transformation not only strengthens Galeria’s supply chain but also deepens customer loyalty through a seamless shopping experience.

“We are proud to collaborate with Galeria to optimise their supply chain. As Galeria continues its business and processes innovation, we look forward to being a key solution provider and advisor in their journey, ensuring that their supply chain evolves alongside their success,” said Vince Beacom, President, Global Retail, Blue Yonder.
