Blue Yonder API
Blue Yonder is an AI-powered end-to-end supply chain platform spanning planning, warehouse management, transportation, order management, returns, and workforce/labor for retailers, manufacturers, and logistics providers. An unofficial API lets you programmatically pull shipments, loads, orders, inventory, and warehouse activity—and push updates like new shipments, load tenders, and order changes back into Blue Yonder.
What is Blue Yonder?
Blue Yonder is an AI-powered, end-to-end supply chain management platform that helps retailers, manufacturers, and logistics providers plan, collaborate, and execute across their entire supply chain—from first mile to last mile and back. Organizations use Blue Yonder to run demand and supply planning, warehouse and transportation operations, omni-channel order management, returns, and workforce scheduling, with the platform emphasizing real-time visibility and machine-learning predictions across all tiers and trading partners.
Core product families:
- Supply Chain Planning (demand, supply, and unified planning suite)
- Warehouse Management (complex fulfillment and labor optimization)
- Transportation Management (network optimization, carrier execution)
- Order Management & Commerce (real-time inventory availability, order services)
- Returns Management (end-to-end return decisioning)
- Workforce & Labor Management, Retail Planning & Category Management, and Merchandise Operations
Common data entities:
- Shipments, Loads, Tenders, Carriers, Routes, Stops
- Orders, Order Lines, Fulfillment, Allocations, Returns
- Inventory, Items/SKUs, Locations, Warehouses, Bins
- Forecasts, Demand Plans, Supply Plans, Replenishment Orders
- Tasks, Labor Standards, Workforce Schedules, Activity Records
The Blue Yonder Integration Challenge
Shippers, retailers, and 3PLs run mission-critical operations on Blue Yonder daily, but turning its enterprise platform into clean, API-driven automation is non-trivial:
- Enterprise-gated APIs: Connect API access, the developer portal, and the API & Expansion Pack are contract- and partner-gated, with no public REST reference, base URL, or auth spec available openly
- Mixed protocols: The platform speaks SOAP, REST, EDI, and OData depending on the module, so a single integration must span multiple connectivity styles
- Module spread: WMS, TMS, Planning, and Order Management each carry their own object models, IDs, and lifecycle states that rarely line up out of the box
- Tenant-specific configuration: Deployments are tailored per customer—custom fields, flows, and labor standards differ, so generic integrations break across tenants
- Authentication complexity: SSO and MFA are common in enterprise supply chain environments and complicate headless automation
- Throttling and key management: API keys, rate limits, and DoS-protection throttling on the Connect layer require careful, adaptive pacing
How Supergood Creates Blue Yonder APIs
Supergood reverse-engineers authenticated browser flows, Blue Yonder's Connect APIs, and the platform's REST/SOAP/OData surfaces to deliver a resilient API layer for your Blue Yonder tenant—across WMS, TMS, Planning, and Order Management.
- Handles username/password, SSO, and MFA (SMS, email, TOTP) securely
- Maintains session continuity with automated refresh and change detection
- Normalizes responses across shipments, loads, orders, inventory, and warehouse tasks so you integrate once and rely on consistent objects
- Respects tenant-specific configuration, custom fields, and Connect throttling to ensure compliant, well-paced access

API Endpoints
Authentication
/authenticateAuthenticate to a Blue Yonder tenant using username/password, SSO, or MFA and obtain a session token for downstream calls.
Transportation
/shipmentsList shipments and loads with filters for status, carrier, origin/destination, and ship date range across the TMS.
Transportation
/create_shipmentCreate a new shipment or load tender against a configured route and carrier in Transportation Management.
Orders
/ordersRetrieve orders, order lines, allocations, and fulfillment status from Order Management & Commerce.
Inventory
/inventoryPull real-time inventory availability by item, location, and warehouse across the network.
Warehouse
/tasksList warehouse tasks, labor activity, and fulfillment work from Warehouse Management with status filters.
Use Cases
Sync shipment and load data across TMS and partners
- Pull shipments, loads, and tenders from Transportation Management into a single warehouse - Stream status, tracking, and exception events to downstream BI and visibility tools - Reconcile carrier, route, and stop records for unified network reporting
Automate order and fulfillment workflows
- Push new orders and changes into Order Management & Commerce - Pull allocations and fulfillment status back for downstream commerce systems - Route returns and exceptions to retention and customer-service workflows without portal clicks
Keep inventory and warehouse activity in sync
- Sync real-time inventory availability by item, location, and warehouse into ERP and OMS - Surface warehouse tasks and labor activity for operational dashboards - Trigger replenishment and putaway workflows when inventory thresholds change
Feed planning and demand systems
- Pull forecasts, demand plans, and supply plans from Supply Chain Planning into analytics tools - Push actuals and replenishment orders back into planning workflows - Reconcile plan-versus-execution data across planning, WMS, and TMS

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Supergood normalizes data across Warehouse Management, Transportation Management, Supply Chain Planning, and Order Management & Commerce so you can integrate shipments, orders, inventory, and tasks once across modules.
No. Supergood works with your existing Blue Yonder entitlements and authenticated sessions. Where your tenant exposes Connect REST, SOAP, or OData surfaces we use them; otherwise we operate against the same authenticated surfaces your users do.
Each tenant is profiled against its configured flows, custom fields, and labor standards. Supergood preserves tenant-specific fields and lifecycle states rather than forcing a generic schema.
Supergood adapts to your Connect API key limits with backoff and idempotency, pacing traffic to stay within platform throttling and DoS-protection thresholds.
Yes. You can pull shipments, orders, inventory, and warehouse activity, and push updates like new shipments, load tenders, and order changes back into Blue Yonder.
