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.
I servizi di evasione degli ordini e informazioni sui punti vendita di Blue Yonder hanno aiutato Bata ad adeguare la distribuzione dei prodotti alla domanda locale e ad abbreviare i cicli di prodotto. Questi guadagni operativi hanno generato un impatto finanziario significativo, supportando l'impegno di Bata verso la soddisfazione del cliente e l'eccellenza operativa.
"Le funzionalità offerte da Blue Yonder in materia di gestione delle merci e pianificazione della catena di fornitura ci consentono di pianificare l'offerta per i clienti, di prevedere la domanda e di mettere in atto strategie di inventario più efficienti, che si traducono in una maggiore disponibilità e cicli di vita dei prodotti più brevi. Grazie a una piattaforma moderna siamo in grado di accedere a una visione unificata dei dati, semplificare i nostri processi e migliorare il processo decisionale in tutta la nostra rete."—Barbara Franceschetto, Chief Global Product Officer, 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.
