Blue Yonder NA Channel Partner of the Year 2019

Open Sky Group Named 2019 North America Channel Partner of the Year by Blue Yonder

Blue Yonder’s North American Warehouse Management Implementation Partner, Open Sky Group, wins the award for the fourth time

Open Sky Group is proud to announce its award as the 2019 North America Channel Partner of the Year by Blue Yonder, Inc. (formerly JDA Software, Inc.) for the fourth time. The award was based on Open Sky Group’s performance in 2019 as a re-selling and co-selling Blue Yonder North American partner for Blue Yonder’s Warehouse Management, Labor Management, Workforce Management, Transportation Management, and Luminate Warehouse Tasking products. Open Sky Group is also a gold implementation partner in the Blue Yonder Partner Advantage program.

Open Sky Group is widely recognized in the industry for its agile implementation methodology, which enables quicker software implementations with no modifications, a better functional fit, and smoother go-lives – all leading to a faster return on investment. Based on this agile methodology, Open Sky Group sets a brisk pace for successful software implementations. Continuing that go-live pace of WMS and Labor software implementations and upgrades from 2019 into 2020, the company is on target for 19 go-lives in 18 weeks across the first and second quarters of this year. Projects currently underway include Transportation Management (SaaS) implementation and multiple implementations and upgrades of Warehouse and Labor Management for companies in industries, including apparel, automotive, consumer goods, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, third party logistics, and more.

“In the past three years, we’ve added almost 40 new clients, 50 new employees, and a lot of supply chain experience to our teams. We’re maintaining the momentum of projects and go-lives from 2019 and the numbers continue to illustrate how our process and approach leads to minimal go-live issues. We couldn’t be prouder of earning Blue Yonder’s 2019 North America Channel Partner of the Year,” says Chad Kramlich, CRO of Open Sky Group.

“Open Sky Group has been a leader within the broader partner ecosystem. They constantly strive to help their clients fulfill more intelligently, grow revenue and profits, and deliver superior customer experiences,” says Steve Simmerman, Senior Director, Partner Success, at Blue Yonder.

Open Sky Group is a proud sponsor of Blue Yonder’s Digital Academy, Blue Yonder ICON, and Blue Yonder DEVCON.

You can also find Open Sky Group this week at Modex 2020 in Atlanta, GA, March 9 – 12 in Booth #S7370 and presenting on “Critical Elements of WMS and Labor Implementations.”
