Lanka Business Online reports that Hayleys Retail Holdings Ltd has selected Blue Yonder to build its grocery retail operations using artificial-intelligence and connected supply-chain technology. The company plans to open a number of stores in Sri Lanka in the near future, and is Blue Yonder’s first retail customer in the country, according to Lanka Business Online.
Lanka Business Online reports that Hayleys Retail is entering large-scale supermarket retail and intends to draw on the wider Hayleys Group’s experience in manufacturing, logistics and services. The outlet describes Hayleys as a multinational conglomerate operating in 17 sectors across five continents and contributing about 5% of Sri Lanka’s export income.
Lanka Business Online reports that the company selected Blue Yonder for a unified data system linking merchandising, replenishment and space decisions, AI tools intended to flag operational issues and recommend actions, and a cloud-based platform designed to accommodate expansion without replacing the system.
Lanka Business Online reports that the first phase will use Blue Yonder Merchandise Operations to manage item, supplier, cost and pricing information and support consistent execution across stores, regions and channels. As the retailer expands, it plans to add Blue Yonder Allocation and Replenishment, which will use machine-learning forecasts to align inventory with demand, including seasonal peaks.
Lanka Business Online reports that Hayleys said its entry into supermarket retail reflects a service commitment it has maintained for 148 years. The report gives no further details on store locations or opening dates.
