JDA Software and Google Collaborate on Local Availability Shopping Tool for Retailers
17 November 2010 - 12:00AM
Business Wire
JDA® Software Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: JDAS),
The Supply Chain Company®, today announced the availability of a
tool that allows retailers to share their individual store, product
and inventory availability as part of Google’s “local availability”
feature. The tool, JDA® Adaptor, delivers complete and correct
product information to help shoppers find the products they’re
looking for on Google.com and Google Product Search, the company’s
shopping search engine. As a result, retailers can differentiate
themselves from the competition by making local store and inventory
information available online, enabling shoppers to find the
products they want locally, when and where they want them.
Developed in close collaboration with Google, JDA Adaptor is
designed to work with JDA® Merchandise Management System, a leading
host transaction solution that enables retailers to drive sales,
margins and cash flow by getting the right products to the right
place at the right time. JDA Adaptor is a high-performance,
easy-to-use tool that can be implemented quickly and deliver
retailers a rapid return on investment. By making local store and
inventory information available online it not only allows shoppers
to more easily find and purchase local products but gives retailers
the ability to compete more effectively with online-only players in
the growing cross-channel space.
“JDA is pleased to be among the first companies to implement a
tool that allows retailers to share their individual store, product
and inventory availability with Google,” said Wayne Usie, JDA
senior vice president, retail. “When shoppers can quickly
identify specific product information by store location, it not
only leads to a simpler, more productive shopping experience, but
can also help increase foot traffic and drive sales.”
"To date, online shopping efforts have focused mostly on the
small percentage of overall products that are sold online,” said
Sameer Samat, Google product director for Shopping. “This
holiday season, and going forward, we're excited to be working with
leading retailers and their technology partners, like JDA, to help
shoppers find the perfect gift in a store nearby, whether they're
searching from their laptop or their phone."
