Pros:

BlueRidge delivers all needed functionality without setting up "your process". It has extensive integration with many parameters, making the standard solution work on all our complex processes. We asked the vendor 15 in-depth questions to understand if they could solve our challenges. They answered in writing and asked if they could show us how it is done in their test system - without setting up our processes!It's easy to use and gives immediate results.

Cons:

Nothing really. But copying to set up many similar stores could be easier.

Reasons for choosing Blue Ridge Platform

BlueRidge could demonstrate all our advanced cases in their test system as standard, while Relex had to set up all processes to us.

Pros:

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

Cons:

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

Reasons for choosing Blue Ridge Platform

It has already been used for other food distributors with the same ERP, so the integration was guaranteed.

Reasons for switching to Blue Ridge Platform

Because it was not flexible and didn't help to optimize the inventory of all my distribution centers. Blue ridge is more user-friendly and gives us access to more information on a single screen.

Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

Reasons for choosing Blue Ridge Platform

Blue Ridge gives us a better understanding of our business than we ever had before

Blue Ridge has dramatically reduced the amount of work I had to do to plan and create orders. The charts and analytics tools give me a much more nuanced understanding of our business than I ever had before. We are integrated with Netsuite and all of the data we need moves between the two platforms seamlessly. Each week I am find more ways to leverage the data that is available to us by using Blue Ridge, and the ongoing support from a dedicated member of their team has been critical to our success.

Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

Making Notable Inventory Productivity Leaps using Blue Ridge

Blue Ridge has been an important driver toward enhancing the welfare of our supply chain operations. It is supporting our mission of putting the need to buy the right products at the right time and quantities at the forefront.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

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

Cons:

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
