The most comprehensive standard solution provides immediate results

We can tune our service level according to investment in stock. In addition we have reduced overstock with helfier stock situation.

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.

Reason 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.

Helped to reduce inventory levels and increase service level.

We improved our distribution between distribution centers, to ensure product availability for all our branches. We reduced our inventory and increased our service level, with gives us the opportunity to grow using for years before investing in new warehouses.

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.

Reason 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.

Happy user of Blue Ridge

Happy, and good pro-active follow-up

PROS

We realised our projected goals with the system

CONS

You have to invest time in the system initially to create more time on the long run. Not a "Con", more an important fact to be aware of. Just like any new IT-system really.

Reason for choosing Blue Ridge Platform

Better management scope and assistance to obtain goals and targets

Blue Ridge - Allied Beverage Group, NJ

Overall, very happy with our choice in Blue Ridge. We would not have succeeded during the Covid / Supply Chain issue world without this tool. We are growing and learning each month.

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.

Reason for choosing Blue Ridge Platform

Ease of integration, Cost, Life Line consulting aspect.
