Panasonic Corporation announced today that it has completed the acquisition of Blue Yonder, the first end-to-end digital handover platform provider. Panasonic has now acquired the remaining 80% of Blue Yonder, after buying a 20% stake in Blue Yonder in July 2020. The investment values Blue Yonder at $8.5 billion.
Since Panasonic announced the acquisition of all shares on April 23, 2021, the acquisition has completed the antitrust approval process and obtained regulatory approval from the United States and other countries.
The acquisition accelerates Panasonic and Blue Yonder's shared vision for an autonomous supply chain. By aligning Panasonic's sensing skills and edge devices with Blue Yonder's AI/ML-driven planning, fulfillment, and commerce solutions, enterprises are able to create smarter, more connected e-commerce strategies, retail stores, warehouses, transportation, and workplaces. This unique end-to-end offering provides customers with unlimited visibility, control, and orchestration, allowing them to adjust operations in real time, deliver outstanding customer experiences, and deliver more profitable business benefits.
"As the frequency and impact of supply chain disruptions continues to increase, companies need to have the data to visualize to plan for real-time operational resolutions. Panasonic's edge skills and Blue Yonder's AI/ML capabilities combine IoT devices and AI platforms to collect and dissect data faster and deeper. "Panasonic's resources and Blue Yonder's innovation will accelerate the development of the tools and skills our customers need to guess and avoid disruptions and inject autonomy into the supply chain," said Simon Ellis, Industry Analyst, Program Vice President and IDC. Panasonic's takeover of Blue Yonder bodes well for the future. ”
The acquisition strengthens Panasonic's own focus on digital transformation and customer centricity. On April 1, 2022, the Panasonic Group will transform into a holding company system and focus on strategic matters in key areas such as supply chain innovation and automation. Through this transformation, Panasonic aims to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society through more efficient use of limited global resources.
The Blue Yonder brand will be retained, and the business will continue to operate within the Panasonic company, Connected Solutions Company*. Blue Yonder Chief Fulfiller Girish Rishi and the entire leadership team will remain with the company.
