Business Wire
JDA® Software Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: JDAS),
The Supply Chain Company®, today announced a series of new
innovations, which underscore its expanding leadership in the
supply chain market. These new capabilities, derived from the
multi-year product roadmap announced in April 2010, continue the
heritage of market-leading innovations targeted specifically at
creating real shareholder value through supply chain
excellence.
“JDA’s product roadmap supports the convergence and ongoing
enhancement of the industry’s leading solution offerings to provide
our customers with the most comprehensive, integrated supply chain
solutions,” said Raghav Keshav, chief product officer, JDA
Software. “We are continuing to execute on our innovation
objectives in delivering the differentiating capabilities inherent
in the JDA brand promise as The Supply Chain Company.”
The following represents select highlights of recent JDA
software innovation and enhancements:
Sales & Operations Planning Convergence
To optimize performance and innovation, JDA’s solution set
incorporates Oliver Wight’s methodology and consulting processes
into the JDA Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) solution
offering to drive a world-class integrated business planning and
management program. Pursuant to joint design council development
roadmap plans, the June 2011 release of JDA Sales & Operations
Management will include Oliver Wight Class-A S&OP methodology
and will feature the management views, graphs, data streams and
calculations that are aligned with Oliver Wight’s best practices.
The Oliver Wight methodology designed into the software also
represents completion of a key criterion in the company’s
convergence strategy for the i2 Technologies-developed JDA Sales
& Operations Management, just as was done with the JDA
Executive Sales & Operations Planning Workbench. JDA Sales
& Operations Planning capabilities help companies successfully
conduct a repeatable end-to-end S&OP process that enables
companies to align all functional plans and address critical gaps
between latest projections, the business plan and strategy. This
approach enables the right combination of process discipline and
technology enablement to improve operational, financial and
business performance.
Collaborative Evolution in Advanced Replenishment
JDA’s recent introduction of JDA® Advanced Marketplace
Collaboration represents a new evolution of collaboration in JDA
advanced replenishment solutions. Offering the next generation of
JDA Marketplace Replenish GUI, the new technology in JDA Advanced
Marketplace Collaboration provides collaborative partners with a
direct link into the JDA advanced replenishment systems via JDA
Marketplace. This advancement means that both retailer and
wholesaler-distributor hosts and their supplier partners are
seamlessly in sync with the same real-time data and functionality
for more streamlined, effective communication and improved
collaboration.
Raising the Bar in Forecasting and Replenishment
JDA® Demand and JDA® Fulfillment enable the world’s leading
retailers and suppliers to optimize supply chain decisions with
integrated demand visibility and management along with the ability
to profitably balance supply and demand for cost savings. JDA
Demand and JDA Fulfillment version 7.7 raise the bar on these
industry-proven solutions and reinforce JDA’s position as an
industry leader. Architectural enhancements enable unparalleled
economical scalability and processing times proven at 200 million
demand forecasting units/stock-keeping units without compromising
the supply chain differentiating depth of functionality these
solutions are known for. Additional key enhancements within JDA
Fulfillment include the ability to combine multiple sources,
multiple destinations and a combination thereof to optimize
ordering and transportation efficiencies as well as a new and
improved load manager workbench that provides a balanced,
consolidated workspace for more efficient and effective load
building.
Transportation & Logistics Management Convergence and
Innovation
JDA’s recent Transportation & Logistics Management version
6.3.4 release represents the next step in JDA’s transportation
convergence roadmap and reinforces the company’s ongoing innovation
in this world-class solution set to further drive integrated
planning and execution:
- Inbound visibility with freight
order management integration: Integrating the
Manugistics-developed JDA® Freight Order Management into a joint
platform that leverages the suite’s i2 and Manugistics solution
heritage synergies enables shared data between the JDA
transportation solutions and drives a more integrated, closed-loop
set of processes. The integrated solution enables collaboration
between vendors and shippers at the purchase-order level to
effectively create an efficient inbound transportation plan.
- New innovation to reinforce
integrated planning and execution within JDA®
Transportation Manager and JDA®
Transportation Planner:
- Ability to model fixed routes:
Delivers a powerful hybrid capability that defines fixed
plans/routes but also includes the flexibility to make
opportunistic plan modifications as required.
- Native parcel freight rate
management: Delivers the ability to manage the parcel mode as a
core service directly within the transportation management system
to leverage advanced consolidation and modal shift opportunities
without having to rely on third-party software.
- Freight auction functionality:
Creates a private freight auction portal to cover loads in a
mini-marketplace where approved carriers can bid in a contained
environment, enabling shippers to make more educated carrier
decisions.
- Dock scheduling and slot
booking: Expands collaboration-based execution for more robust
planning based on both dock and carrier availability. JDA’s
intelligent front-end planning capabilities along with a
schedule-replanning workflow and shipper-carrier communication into
dock-level execution details create a powerful combination for both
shippers and carriers.
