One plan does not fit all, but how does a retailer scale operations to produce optimal assortment and space plans for every selling location? The JDA Category Management SaaS solutions help retailers and their collaborating vendors achieve scale and customer-centricity to progress and achieve category sales goals. Combining sales history, market data, consumer insights, and automation, retailers and manufacturers deliver effective plans that maximize revenue and margin while creating satisfying shopping experiences.

Tightly coordinating global resources, materials, and assets in real-time to optimize the delivery of goods and services to your customers is the ultimate balancing act.

With the need for innovation constantly accelerating, manufacturers, retailers and third-party logistics companies must leverage the latest technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and robotics for faster, more informed cross-enterprise decision-making. This requires hyper-connected solutions that integrate warehousing, labor and transportation into a seamless information and execution platform. JDA’s SaaS-based Supply Chain Execution solutions provide the foundation to this platform - reducing inventory levels and costs, improving customer service, enhancing decision-making and providing more agile, profitable and responsive operations. With JDA, solving your inventory planning, replenishment, transportation, warehouse operation and order fulfillment challenges has never been easier.

In today’s environment, retailers are faced with growing competition across channels. Merchandisers perform large amounts of manual, repetitive tasks without an understanding of history at a granular level which can identify missed business opportunities. A critical component is being able to understand the internal and external factors that influence customer demand. JDA’s Retail Planning suite of SaaS solutions aligns merchandise financial planning, assortment, allocation and pricing with AI/ML forecasts so that retailers can meet their financial goals and have better insight into their business on a store by store basis increasing profitability.

Changing customer preferences, new competitors, and growing sustainability needs are changing all aspects of store execution.  In particular, this has a direct impact on restaurants and convenience stores.  Store managers have to deal with the realities of increased demand for fresh and prepared food items while also making sure they are reducing waste. JDA Store Operations is designed to intelligently forecast customer demand throughout the day to help restaurants and C-stores maximize availability, optimize their inventory, and support sustainability efforts by reducing waste.  It is an easy to use, mobile friendly, SaaS platform that can be rapidly adopted to address these challenges.

Today’s workforce marketplace is more competitive than ever. Historically low unemployment rates and workforce shortages mean organizations must optimize their workforce to increase productivity and must focus on retaining and recruiting employees. To address these challenges, organizations must have accurate forecasting and scheduling so they can align labor when and where it is needed. JDA’s Workforce Management SaaS-based solutions provide employees flexible scheduling options that keep employees engaged and labor management that maximizes productivity and utilization while decreasing labor expenses. 

The role of retailer changes from day to day and is faster paced than ever. From expanding into new markets to increasing e-commerce, opening stores, and keeping customers happy, they must act at lightning speed to stay competitive. To maintain an edge, retailers must focus on upgrading their technology and data to stay responsive and agile. Our Merchandise Operations solutions provide the foundation for accurate, synchronized data with real-time inventory updates and secure transactions. With visibility and flexibility, our solutions support growth and control inventory costs throughout the most complex retail environments.

When you’re dealing with perishable inventory — like seats on trains, hotel rooms, hold capacity or advertising space — you need to get the price exactly right, every time. Your offers must be low enough to attract customers, but high enough to drive profitability. JDA's Pricing and Revenue Management's advanced forecasting and optimization algorithms, plus data analysis, help companies in the hospitality, travel, transportation and media industries make the sale profitable. You’ll understand exactly what customers are looking for and deliver it reliably, increasing your market share and brand strength.
