Blue Yonder WMS Engineers

Project/Initiative they are working on:

-Manager talks about how they are working on next day customer delivery capabilities for bulky products (appliances, grills, mowers, patio furniture, etc.)

more recently this next day customer delivery capability is expanding to support their professional customers (building materials etc.)

-First facility is in production now

-Similar process to their cross-dock terminal

-inventory is shipped to a cross-dock terminal the night before a delivery is scheduled

-current model professional fulfillment center has their inventory etc.

-based on inventory at the facility orders are taken against that & delivered to customers

-urgency to enable next day delivery inventory that is in regional or flatbed distro centers too

-flatbed distro centers do not have that capability

-Blue Yonder 8.2 old version they're working with will not support required integrations to enable next day delivery

2 main steps for the project roadmap here:

-Part 1. Upgrade WMS Blue Yonder from 8.2 to 2021 by 1/20/23 & put that into production over weekend on 3/1/23

-Part 2. Then they will be doing integration work depending on how much work they have with the other updates they have to make, then they will onboard the integrations required to do next day delivery in that case, they would extend the resources past the Jan/Feb timeframe for this 2^nd portion

Interview Process (# of rounds, coding?):

-1 round MS Teams Video Conference 30-60 mins

-Blue Yonder has specific language for extending their products in general called MOCA tech screenings on this

-knowledge of Blue Yonder 8.2 & 2021
