Yamaha Centralizes Logistics Data on Domo for Supply Chain Resilience
Event summary
- Yamaha's Logistics Division built a centralized intelligence platform on Domo to unify global logistics data across 40+ factories and warehouses.
- The system reduced annual manual aggregation work by ~200 hours while improving risk detection and decision-making speed.
- Domo enabled automated carrier evaluations, inventory forecasting, and container utilization optimization without dedicated IT engineers.
- Yamaha plans to expand Domo's use across procurement, production, and sales departments for end-to-end supply chain optimization.
The big picture
Yamaha's move reflects growing corporate demand for real-time supply chain visibility amid persistent geopolitical and transportation volatility. The case highlights how manufacturers are turning to no-code platforms to democratize data access across non-technical teams. This adoption comes as logistics costs remain elevated post-pandemic, pressuring companies to optimize every aspect of their global operations.
