With the Blue Yonder end-to-end planning solution, powered by Microsoft Azure, Bata has achieved an average in-store availability rate of 72% across Thailand and India post-implementation (with an 8% improvement in India between 2024-2025), ensuring customers can find the products they want when they need them.
Between 2024 and 2025 there have been significant improvements for Bata. Forecast accuracy has grown by 2% in India and 9% in Thailand, enabling more precise and confident decision-making across the supply chain. This has led to inventory reductions of 13% and 29%, and stock turn performance improvements of 15% and 31%, respectively, year on year.
Les solutions Blue Yonder Fulfillment et Store Insights ont permis à Bata d'adapter la distribution de ses produits à la demande locale et de raccourcir les cycles de production. Ces gains opérationnels ont eu un impact financier significatif, soutenant l'engagement de Bata en faveur de la satisfaction client et de l’excellence opérationnelle.
« Les capacités de Blue Yonder en matière de merchandising et de planification de la chaîne d’approvisionnement nous permettent de planifier les offres client, de prévoir la demande et d’exécuter des stratégies de stock plus efficaces, ce qui conduit à une plus grande disponibilité et à des cycles de vie des produits plus courts. Grâce à une plateforme moderne, nous sommes en mesure d’accéder à une vue unifiée des données, de rationaliser nos processus et d’améliorer la prise de décision sur l’ensemble de notre réseau. » - Barbara Franceschetto, Directrice mondiale des produits, Bata Group.
“Since implementing Blue Yonder, we’ve seen significant improvements,” points out Franceschetto. “In India and Thailand, our average in-store availability has increased to 72%, and we’ve been able to shorten product cycles, allowing us to introduce and replenish new collections more quickly. These early wins are just the beginning of our journey to provide the best possible offerings to our customers.”
Bata now has an optimized process that supports a faster, more responsive supply chain, driving better business decisions and a more rapid, accurate response to changes in consumer demand. Bata can effectively distribute merchandise, seamlessly produce seasonal assortment plans, and build an intelligent distribution plan over time.
“At Bata, we’re dedicated to providing quality footwear, and this collaboration with Blue Yonder aligns perfectly with our commitment to excellence. Together, we’re redefining our landscape, while setting new standards in innovation, sustainability and customer satisfaction,” says Franceschetto.
