Blue Yonder Luminate Planning vs. D&B Risk Analytics

JDA WMS is a tier 1 solution for warehousing environments. Due to its price, it may not be suitable for smaller operations. Since the system allows for multiple clients, and since my company is a 3PL, JDA WMS works well for 3PL providers.

Great for vendor risk management and running financial health reports on our supplier base. In addition, our transactional banking team uses the platform (more specifically the Paydex score) to assess obligors and clients for financial health. I think the ESG component of the platform still needs more work. I don't think there's enough data in the industry to really make good predictive scores.

• Great customer facing implementation team.
• Predictable and communicated improvement processes.
• Constant roll out of new features with a strong SIG committee.

Incentivized

• Robust insight on financial health.
• Continuous monitoring & alerts.
• Predictive measurers that are quantifiable.

• Efficiency - At times the response time to retrieve the data from DB could be improved.
• Cheaper pricing - can provide some concession with the pricing.
• Training - JDA could offer more free training programs.

• Finding the correct entity in D&B. There are usually tons of D&B #s for one entity.
• ESG ratings still need work.
• We are still determining internally what the best practice is for these financial health ratings. What does it mean for us?

It's still an older system which could use some updating.

D&B Risk Analytics contains all information I need to do my job well and has a daily updated scores to reflect the financial situation.

JDA WMS was a large step up from our legacy Infor solution. It filled many gaps that we couldn't fill with Infor's system. Rather than continuing to build solutions in-house to account for customer requirements, we decided to implement JDA WMS and use all of that system's capabilities to handled what we needed in our warehouses. Granted, Infor's solutions have probably improved since 2007 when we changed, but those were my experiences back when we changed WMS providers.

I only used D&B Risk Analytics.

• Alignment with customer service programs.
• Visibility for optimization and transportation cost savings.
• Vendor performance overviews.

Incentivized

• We have had the solution for less than a year, so it is tough to say how much positive/negative impact it has had.
• We are now able to continuously monitor some entities in our supplier base. We were not able to do this before.
