What is Blue Yonder Order Collaboration?

Order collaboration enables buyers, suppliers, and logistics partners to work from a single, shared view of purchase orders. Studies show that 77% of companies invest in deeper supplier relationships because poor collaboration leads to disruptions, higher inventory, and lost revenue. PO collaboration tools allow all parties to confirm forecasts, align production schedules, and react to exceptions quickly. For make-to-stock, configure-to-order, and make-to-order strategies, collaboration means sharing demand signals, coordinating capacity, and ensuring materials arrive when needed. Better communication improves on-time delivery, reduces expediting costs, and builds trust across the supply chain.
