JDA® Software Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: JDAS)
today announced that Shanxi Meetall United Supermarket Co.
Ltd., a leading Chinese grocery retailer and member of the
global SPAR International group, licensed multiple solutions across
JDA’s best-in-class supply chain and merchandise management suites
to help the company strengthen its overall operational performance
and efficiency. After an extensive evaluation process, Shanxi
Meetall selected JDA over international and local solution
providers for its expertise, superior solutions capabilities and
its commitment to both Shanxi Meetall and the wider market in
China. In addition to its proven track record of delivering
superior results and true business transformation, JDA provided a

JDA Solutions Will Enable Advanced Business Processes
Already a highly successful business, Shanxi Meetall was looking
to take its operating performance to the next level, and sought out
a provider of advanced retail management systems that could help
drive improvements in productivity, profitability and maximize
satisfaction for Shanxi Meetall’s 60 million customers throughout
China.
“At the forefront of our company's 2009 strategic objectives is
an initiative called ‘Two Essential,’ which states our requirements
for core competitiveness,” said Mr. Chunhong Chen, Executive
Vice President, Shanxi Meetall. “The goal of this initiative is
to improve the technical level of information systems and
accelerate the building of information management systems across
the company. This initiative will enable us to achieve our
strategic goals based on the SPAR model and, in the next three to
five years, achieve an RMB 20 billion sales target. The focus will
be on unified operations and management, including centralized
procurement, merchandising, replenishment and fulfillment, sales
forecasting, category management, delivery route planning, supplier
deliveries, new store openings and customer membership management.
Our approach will be a modular system implementation with seamless
integration across SKU planning, automatic replenishment and
fulfillment, merchandise space management and performance analysis
– all driven by rapid consumer responsiveness.”
Mr. Chen added, “JDA’s Enterprise Planning, Demand, Fulfillment,
Merchandise Management System, Performance Analysis and Category
Management solutions, paired with its leading retail best
practices, will help drive Shanxi Meetall’s needs for future
growth. I strongly believe that the partnership between Shanxi
Meetall and JDA will help us achieve our overall objective of
building a consumer-driven supply chain and merchandise management
system, as well as significantly improve the performance of our
suppliers, merchandisers, employees and consumers.”
“JDA has helped optimize retail businesses throughout the world
with our unique combination of advanced technology and deep
industry experience,” commented Hamish Brewer, Chief Executive
Officer, JDA Software. “We are honored that Shanxi Meetall has
placed its trust in JDA, and we intend to repay that trust by
rapidly enabling global best practices through the use of our
market-leading solutions. The results will speak for themselves.
Shanxi Meetall’s decision to select JDA marks the beginning of a
new era for retail in China, one in which JDA’s solutions will help
optimize retail practices as we have done in all other leading
global economies.”
This significant agreement follows hot on the heels of JDA’s
recently announced strategy to dramatically expand its presence in
China to meet increasing demand from local retailers, manufacturers
and wholesalers for best-of-breed integrated supply chain
management solutions. JDA’s commitment to the Chinese market
includes plans to significantly increase the local JDA workforce
and develop a network of certified partners, as well as operate a
