JDA Software is uniquely positioned to address the key challenges and strategic initiatives of retailers worldwide. Some crucial areas in which JDA can provide competitive advantage solutions that deliver high return on investment include:
- Becoming a Consumer-Driven Enterprise: Consumer expectations have reached a new high in this age of information explosion and multi-channel retailing. Retailers must offer the right products in the way that today’s digital consumers want to be serviced.
- Managing Global Growth: Retailers are navigating a complex global environment, racing for the best opportunities related to mergers and acquisitions, global sourcing and expansion into top emerging markets such as India, Russia and China.
- Leveraging One Synchronized View of Demand across all Channels: Consumers expect the same level of product information, availability and service in all of the channels that they shop. Yet retailers are ruled by defined hierarchies, and in some cases, each channel within a retail business is operated independently.
- Delivering Unique, Localized Assortments: Today’s truly consumer-driven retail enterprise must be able to deliver unique assortments to locations that are matched to specific consumer demand – and if possible, match pricing and promotions to assortment lists by store.
- Managing Products from Initial Order to Point of Purchase: Retailers risk losing revenues due to abbreviated selling cycles, shifting seasons and changing shopping habits. They are also burdened with overseas sourcing elongating time to market.
- Managing Transportation and Logistics: The transportation landscape has changed dramatically in recent years, forcing retailers to rethink their strategies to address imports, increasing freight costs, weak freight network infrastructure, constrained network-wide capacity, new government and environmental regulations as well as an overall increased awareness of and demand for better logistics data.
