Migrate. Modernize. Maximize.

We're not like other consultants—and that’s by design. Spinnaker SCA is a Tier 1 Blue Yonder consulting partner with expertise across supply chain planning and execution. We don’t just "know" the platform. We've led re-implementations, rescued troubled programs, and built intelligent, end-to-end solutions using Blue Yonder's latest innovations.

PARTNERSHIP OVERVIEW

Powering supply chain possibilities

Supply chain technology like Blue Yonder's is constantly evolving and redefining what’s possible with cognitive planning, AI, and execution at scale.

But bringing that vision to life requires more than software. You also need an implementation partner that knows how to translate product roadmaps into business results. And how to lead enterprises through the complexity of replatforming and reinvention. Success comes down to how you configure it. Deploy it. And use it, day in and day out.

From readiness assessments to re-implementations, our Blue Yonder experts bring unmatched fluency across supply planning, demand planning, warehousing and transportation—along with real-world experience.

We are an award-winning Blue Yonder consulting partner. Our decades of experience help ensure planning, labor and fulfillment are aligned, transformation timelines move fast, and smooth handoffs with measurable ROI are delivered, every time.

What others are saying

"Spinnaker SCA is vendor agnostic when it comes to implementing supply chain planning (SCP) solutions. However, they do more implementations of Blue Yonder than any other SCP software supplier and Blue Yonder executives consider Spinnaker their best boutique partner when it comes to SCP." 
Steve Banker, Forbes

“We were on a legacy system that was over 18 years old. It was not scalable. Spinnaker SCA understood our industry and helped us implement the solution that brought our forecast accuracy up, reduced inventory, and allowed us to operate smarter.”

“Optimizing our supply and demand planning platform is a key driver in our bold digital transformation. Through the expertise and efforts of Spinnaker SCA and our Arterra team, we’ve successfully upgraded our existing platform and accelerated our ability to supply the right product at the right place for our retail customers and Canadian consumers.”
