Blue Yonder’s Top Innovations in Q3 2024

At Blue Yonder, innovation is the thread that ties everything we do together. It’s not just a goal; it’s a mindset that drives us to explore, experiment, and overcome challenges in creative ways. Our commitment to innovation helps us adapt, grow, and remain leaders in our field, so that we can advise and support our clients to the best of our ability.

Our innovation culture was in full force again recently during the third innovation review of the year! It is always a great opportunity for everyone to come together and celebrate the strong innovative culture that we have at Blue Yonder. These sessions are an opportunity to share the incredible work happening across our teams and to take a moment to appreciate the creativity that fuels our success.

Of course, a bit of friendly competition adds to the excitement! With over £300 in prizes up for grabs, the stakes are high, and the entries are always impressive. But beyond the awards, the Innovation Review is a chance to connect, laugh, and celebrate as one team.

We’re thrilled to announce the standout ideas and winners from this quarter…

🏆Top Client Innovation & Best Presentation

The Labs team has been recognised with not one but two awards this quarter, winning both Best Client Innovation and Best Presentation! Their exceptional achievement centred on their innovative use of a thermal imaging camera to demonstrate skin temperature changes after applying a cooling gel. In a high-quality, engaging video presentation, the team highlighted their meticulous approach to claims research by using an acclimatised room to control variables and ensure reliable, replicable results. This method not only impressed our clients but also underscored Blue Yonder’s dedication to delivering cutting-edge solutions in sensory and product testing. Congratulations to The Labs team for setting the benchmark for excellence!

Top Blue Yonder Innovation

The Top Blue Yonder Innovation of the Quarter award goes to our incredible Qual Team for their outstanding work in implementing Coloop, an advanced AI software designed to revolutionise qualitative research. Coloop allows users to process large volumes of qualitative interviews, providing instant transcription and analysis. Its standout feature is an AI chatbot that enables researchers to ask specific questions about their study, pinpoint relevant participant insights, and even create video clips of these moments. This innovation exemplifies Blue Yonder’s commitment to leveraging AI thoughtfully- enhancing research and supporting our team, rather than letting technology dictate the process.
