Features & Capabilities
The intelligence in Blue Yonder Load Building
Order Consolidation and Splitting
Consolidate multiple orders together to give planners full control over the way orders are aggregated. Split order quantities across multiple trucks to achieve maximum load efficiency and enable both push and pull of orders based on priority while respecting inventory policies for optimal truckloads.
Multi-tiered Load Building
Use multi-tiered load building to incorporate user-defined nested configurations while supporting a variety of pallet types including double, mixed layer, mixed Item, and sandwich pallets.
Equipment Dimensions
Include usable dimensions and axle weight constraints to achieve the best fit for the load while honoring the number of available vehicles.
Multi-level Containerization
Create a three-dimensional containerization plan that both maximizes and optimizes shipping space utilization. Granular item stacking and orientation rules can be configured during optimization to reduce in-transit damages and improve load handling time.

Wegmans is a family-owned supermarket chain headquartered in Rochester, NY. With over 100 stores and almost $10 billion in revenue, Wegmans is one of the largest private companies in the U.S. With a large and complex transportation network, Wegmans wondered if they were getting the most utility possible from their fleet investments. To find out, and help them model other potential transportation strategies, Wegmans turned to logistics consulting firm, enVista, and Blue Yonder’s transportation modeling capabilities. The result was double-digit cost reductions.
