About The Customer
Ariztía is the second largest chicken and poultry producer in Chile. Founded in 1894, the company has grown significantly over the years. Ariztía's mission and vision is to provide quality products and excellent service to their customers. Their products, which have short shelf lives, are shipped either fresh or frozen to customers. The company places a high value on training and education, believing it to be a key factor in improving employee productivity.
The Challenge
Ariztía, the second largest chicken and poultry producer in Chile, was facing challenges in managing its short shelf life products. The company's products, which are shipped either fresh or frozen to customers, required tight inventory control to assure freshness. This was of paramount importance to Ariztía as it directly impacted their mission to provide quality products and excellent service to their customers. The company also strongly believed in the value of training and education to improve employee productivity. However, assuring freshness mandated strict adherence to first expired/first out inventory turnover practices, which was proving to be a challenge.
The Solution
Ariztía turned to Blue Yonder for a solution to their inventory management challenges. Blue Yonder's warehouse management capabilities enabled Ariztía to better manage their short shelf life inventory and more accurately match inventory practices to customer requirements. This resulted in greater customer satisfaction with reduced inventory losses. The solution also improved control over inventory, which in turn increased employee productivity and company profitability. In addition to the warehouse management solution, Blue Yonder also provided training to Ariztía, further enhancing their belief in the value of training and education for improving productivity.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.
