Blue Ridge Platform Erfahrungen

Vorteile

It easy to use, the forecasts are accurate. The customer service helpful and friendly, the trainers are actual buyers and have actual buying experience

Nachteile

During COVID It was hard to do the training over Zoom. I think you do need in person training.

Vorteile

Integration was planned out well and implemented with only a few small issues. Implementation team was great. The Life Line consultant concept was unique during our search and a game changer. Ticket system and Life Line calls are great. Training was planned out and super. Video training library online for my users to fall back on to refresh system is amazing - complete with 3 different Level tests to ensure agents are up to speed. There is a yearly conference to go over new features and network.

Nachteile

Very few Cons. Issues are addressed quickly through ticket system. Top management are hands on and experts on the tool. Mass maintenance could be expanded versus writing a ticket to be addressed.

Vorteile

In today’s international business climate, inventory planning decisions must progressively result in better fill rates while finding ways to strategically keep inventory levels at a minimum. We turned to the Blue Ridge replenishment engine to help us do that. Since then, we have been able to accomplish:

* Significant reductions of our time spent on placing replenishment buys
* Better buying decisions
* Much more visibility to amount of inventory being purchased to meet factory minimum order quantities, and exposure to profitability issues
* Established measurements as a leading indicator of future overstocks
* Improved service levels with less inventory being carried, the heart of our mission

Nachteile

We are working jointly with Blue Ridge to maximize the use of the system for DC to DC transfer opportunities. We feel the software can provide us more opportunity to strategically lean inventories

Vorteile

Blue Ridge provides in depth training so that a user knows how to do the proper forecasting and setup so that once that is done buying is very quick. The application is also equipped with tools to quickly filter and pull out items that NEED attention now. These filters are available in all the query lists as well as sort feature. This allows for efficient use of our time to focus on what really counts.
The support team is also stellar and very quick to resolve any issue or request that we have most often within same day.

Nachteile

Some limitations on the custom visual settings where we could adjust according to our individual or company needs.

Vorteile

Visualization tools for showing demand over time, as well as what we can expected our inventory to look like on an item by item basis each day in the future, taking restock and expected sales into account.

Nachteile

Our production time is relatively long, and I think this product is best for businesses that can quickly adjust their production to meet changing demand.

Vorteile

Integration with our system was easy, we like that the interface is easy to understand.

Nachteile

I would like the system to update more frequently, updating only once a day does not give us the flexibility that we require.

Vorteile

Ease of implementation and thorough training, 24/7 support, Instant results... increased turns, improved service levels, increased order optimization, decreased overstock.

Nachteile

I'd like to see the processing speed improve. Although we've decreased the amount of time spent creating purchase orders significantly, the system does take a few minutes to process some of the larger accounts that contain thousands of unique SKUs.

Vorteile

The software is relatively simple to learn and use, and it works as advertised. In addition to forecasting demand, the system can also forecast lead times, which has been very useful with all of the supply chain disruptions we have experienced over the past couple years.

Nachteile

We are quite pleased overall. It would be great if we could pull even more information into their analytics platform, but I understand they are developing improvements in this area.

Vorteile

Keeping up with Thousands of items is easy and the reporting and analytical tools are excellent!!!!

Nachteile

The issues that arise have been taken care of in a timely manner and in a satisfactory way. They are good at correcting issues and planning new useful features.

Vorteile

Innovative. Always developing. Quick customer service who has time for us.

Nachteile

Is there something to dislike? Can`t think of anything.

Vorteile

User-friendly, good overview, fast response time

Nachteile

No particular downsides, but always a risk during downtime

Vorteile

Eas of use, ability to quickly on-board new team members using the training module, the level of computation at the dfu level, ability to adjust buying amounts using multiple options

Nachteile

Really nothing once we got into it - our challenge right now is learning fast enough about all of the functionality we have at our fingertips

Vorteile

It's interesting how accurate the estimates are for customer demand. There is a good video on the home page that explains it as well.

Nachteile

The website is a bit messy and needs to be more straightforward about what you're getting and how it will positively impact your company.
