Q2 Innovation Awards: Celebrating ideas that drive us forward

Innovation drives everything we do at Blue Yonder – from smarter problem-solving to creating new opportunities for our clients and our teams. It's not just encouraged, it's part of who we are.

Our Q2 Innovation Review captured that spirit once again, with plenty of wacky presentations, brilliant ideas, and plenty of healthy competition. From clever tweaks to bold new approaches, every contribution showed how innovation strengthens our business and our culture.

With cash prizes for best internal innovation, best client innovation, and best presentation – plus raffle rewards for logging team ideas – there was lots to celebrate.

We're excited to share this quarter's winners…

Top Client Innovation & Best Presentation

Another double win for the Blue Yonder Qual team! They scooped both Best Client Innovation and Best Presentation, impressing with a mix of smart thinking and creative flair.

Their winning entry showcased a fresh approach to Home Usage Tests – reworking timings to be more flexible, accessible and participant-friendly, without losing the richness of insight.

And instead of a standard pitch, the team delivered a brilliantly funny Oasis tribute video that had the whole room laughing while still landing serious points about innovation and impact. A memorable performance and a well-deserved double win!

Hannah Over, Innovation Manager, presented the awards to Karen Schofield, Abbie Allcock, and Adam Heptinstall, on behalf of the qual team.

Top Blue Yonder Innovation

Congratulations also to Oracle, who picked up Best Blue Yonder Innovation for their brilliant Easy Macro installation solution!

Tom Wing presented the new development on behalf of the team, showcasing how it speeds up a common process and makes things more efficient right across the company. A simple but powerful idea that's already saving time and delivering impact.

Oracle team leader, Steph Harper, presented the award to Tom Wing.
