Furniture World News Desk on 3/24/2025

Mathis Home has selected Blue Yonder to optimize inventory planning and improve supply chain operations across its network. The initiative, led by Blue Yonder Professional Services, will focus on demand forecasting and replenishment to increase efficiency and support customer satisfaction.

Founded in 1960, Mathis Home (formerly Mathis Brothers Furniture) operates 43 stores across the United States and offers more than 230,000 products online. As the company expands, it identified the need for a scalable, automated solution to support planning processes and respond to shifting consumer demand.

By adopting Blue Yonder’s demand and replenishment capabilities, Mathis Home aims to:

• Improve forecast accuracy and adapt plans based on changing market conditions and consumer behavior.

• Automate core supply chain processes to increase productivity and enable planners to focus on strategic tasks.

• Leverage real-time data and collaborative planning to support faster and more informed decisions.

• Optimize inventory levels to reduce stockouts and excess, improving both profitability and service levels.

“For more than 60 years, Mathis Home has been committed to offering our customers the largest selection of quality products at the lowest prices,” said Rit Mathis, CEO, Mathis Home. “As we continue to grow, Blue Yonder’s solution will enable us to maintain the right product assortment and deliver exceptional customer service throughout our entire network, strengthening our longstanding commitment to our customers and positioning Mathis Home for long-term business success.”

The Blue Yonder platform is designed to help retailers align supply with demand by responding quickly to fluctuations across distribution points. For Mathis Home, this includes reducing inventory waste, improving service levels, and increasing operational efficiency across its stores and e-commerce channels.

“Increasing speed and accuracy is critical for achieving higher cost savings and customer satisfaction, especially for furniture retailers, where varying lead times and low turnover rates can result in lost sales and excess inventory,” said Vince Beacom, president, Global Retail, Blue Yonder. “With Blue Yonder’s demand and replenishment capabilities, Mathis Home will be able to transform its inventory planning and management to gain a competitive advantage and increase supply chain resilience.”
