Blue Yonder’s Allocation & Replenishment solution will empower Bata to manage merchandising strategies, inventory plans and distributions end-to-end. The result will be an optimized process that supports a faster, more responsive supply chain, driving better business decisions and responding quickly to changes in customer demand. Bata will be able to distribute merchandise, seamlessly connect with seasonal assortment plans and build an intelligent distribution plan over time.
