Blue Ridge Global Reviews & Product Details

The dashboard with alerts helps keep the team focused on the few items that matter, instead of trying to manage everything at once. I also like the ability to log all the deals and have the system calculate the best buy strategy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’d like the deal to support additional layers so we can capture everything in one place, instead of needing to create several separate deals. For example, we may want to include 10% off if you spend 25K, plus an additional 2% if you pay early, and also other similar conditions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Blue Ridge makes the buying process very easy, as long as the data is managed correctly. It can take some time to get familiar with the software, but once you get past the learning curve, planning becomes much more efficient. On top of that, the metrics and report-building system makes it simple to generate calculated insights for internal use and to share valuable feedback with suppliers.

The main issue for me is the lack of column filtering. I can’t search within a column the way I can in Excel, so I end up having to export the data just to get that functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Blue Ridge offers best in class replenishment logic and user-friendly interface. The system is highly intuitive and allows users to build optimized orders to the vendors balancing service and cost. Additionally, the Blue Ridge team is highly invested in customer success and is willing to listen to their needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Blue Ridge has lagged behind some other best in class demand planning and IBP/SIOP engines, but is catching up by continually evolving their IBP platform. They've got work to do to make demand and supply planning as efficient as the SCP replenishment engine, but are making progress and listening to customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Blue Ridge Global for analyzing our inventory supply and demand, which helps keep our customers taken care of and manage our overages and dollars on hand. I really like the training videos, which were a huge help when getting started. Our representative, Katcia, is amazing and always points us in the right direction when we're unsure of where to start. This gives me confidence in what I'm purchasing because I can understand why I'm purchasing those items. I also appreciate that you can change how you view data, like graphs or charts, which is great since people learn and view things differently. Once the reporting is set up, I find it very manageable and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I am looking at all buyers for items, if I click into any other screen, I have to go back again and change it to all buyers each time as it defaults back to just me. Also, when viewing an item in item manager, if you want to see any other location, you have to go to the search glass, copy and paste the item number, and select the location. Then, if you need to look at a third location, you have to do the same. It should just have a simple drop-down field to view all locations for that item. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They have delivered along every step in the process and post-implementation and have been exceptional with support via the Lifeline offering. These are the reasons plus others that guided us to choose Blue Ridge vs. the competition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing major, really. There are always a few minor challenges here and there, but that would happen with any software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Blue Ridge Global's enhanced system which dives into the data to provide more accurate needs for our business. I also appreciate the demand exception feature as it helps us find where our forecast may need to be adjusted. We can dive into the exceptions to see if we need to increase or decrease our forecasts for a given item. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When we do MEIO transfers, it would be great to have the ability to set specific reorder multiples for the transfers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't much I don't like about Blue Ridge. If I had to say anything, it would be that the website can be slow to navigate at peak hours during the day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having used Blue Ridge for several years now, I have experienced numerous benefits. Our inventory levels have decreased, which has been a positive change. Although we have had some turnover among our Inventory and Demand Planners, the training video library and accompanying tests have proven to be invaluable resources for onboarding new team members. The Life Line consultant available to us is also an essential support that we make full use of. Finally, the Reporting tool, which tracks our metrics for Fill Rate and Forecast Accuracy, allows me to easily assess my team’s performance and provide coaching with a Live and Learn approach.
