- Something new from Bluecrux: the Cutting X Podcast, season one “The Value ChA.I.n”. Available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Conversations with people who see value chains from very different seats 👉 Joshua W., Zoetis – the move from supply chains to value chains, and the trust behind good decisions Fabien Rascagneres, AstraZeneca – designing for disruption Zoe Farrelly, PepsiCo – why data matters long before AI enters the picture Peter Anderson, formerly WestRock – leadership, trade-offs and seeing beyond individual
- Bluecrux has been recognised as one of Europes Best Workplaces 2026! What a way to celebrate our 15th year. Only last month, nearly 400 (!) colleagues from 9 countries came together in Belgium for our Global Office Week. A full week of conversations, shared stories, learning and of course a party (or two 😅). Seeing everyone in one place made me very proud. Fifteen years ago I could never have imagined this: a team that shows up for each other, for our clients and for the work, wherever they are in the world. This recognition
- Earlier this month we brought our US community together for the Bluecrux Technology Day in New Jersey. Tomorrow we do the same for our European community in Brussels! A full day on where AI and decision intelligence already make a difference, and where we still have work to do. The most interesting progress happens when supply chain, quality and manufacturing stop working in silos and look at the whole value chain together. 👉 Most of all, I'm looking forward to hearing from our clients at Zoetis, Johnson & Johnson, Astellas
- A lot is changing in supply chain technology right now. The question is moving from "What does the data tell us?" to "What should we do next, and who needs to be part of that decision?" Gartner® has named Bluecrux a Representative Vendor in its latest Market Overview for Analytics and Decision-Making Platforms for Supply Chain. For us, it confirms the direction we are taking with Axon™: helping teams turn complexity, data and uncertainty into decisions they can actually act on. Thank you to our customers for trusting us with the
- Yesterday our Class of '26 graduated from Bootcamp. 19 new colleagues, the biggest Bootcamp class in Bluecrux history: 4 from the US, 4 from Ireland, 3 from Spain and 8 from Belgium. Three weeks ago they started their Bluecrux journey. Since then they went through different onboarding streams, external sessions, a lot of training from our own experts, and probably more new names to remember than anyone thought possible. I already met most of them at our 15Y celebration party (already famous, more on that later 😅). That evening
- I am the biggest fan of ALL of our clients. But Johnson & Johnson is special. 🖤 Chapter II of our #FifteenForward partnership series is theirs, and rightly so. J&J has been with us almost from the very beginning. In 2012 we started with one assignment: designing and launching a new integrated European distribution platform. Many years later, that single project has grown into a global partnership. Pharma, MedTech, Consumer Health (now Kenvue). Projects in the US, Puerto Rico, Belgium, Switzerland, Eastern-Europe, China, Japan,
- Two Gartner® recognitions in one year? I'll admit, that's pretty cool 😎 After being named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Specialist Supply Chain Strategy, Planning and Operations, we have now also been recognized in the 2026 Gartner® Market Guide for Supply Chain Planning Solutions System Integrators. Not a bad summer ☀️ Delivering great E2E planning transformations is not the only thing we do. But it sure is one of our differentiating capabilities! For 15 years, our teams have been combining strategy,
- Bluecrux Technology Day 2026 is coming soon. Join us! This year, we'll bring customers, partners, and industry peers together on both sides of the Atlantic: 📍 New Jersey on September 10 📍 Belgium on October 1 Across both editions, we'll exchange forward-looking perspectives on value chain decision-making, technology, and the operational challenges that connect planning, quality, manufacturing, lab operations, and execution. For me, this event reflects how we work best: close to our customers, grounded in real business
