Helping Retailers in India Achieve Profitable Growth

  • Linking into consumer-demand signals in a competitive market: JDA® Enterprise Planning supports precision merchandising practices that empower retailers to better identify markets, gain a clear view of what their customers are buying, and then execute more efficient assortments to drive sales, inventory turns and customer loyalty.
  • Establishing an agile sense-and-respond supply chain: JDA® Demand & JDA® Fulfillment provide retailers with real-time visibility into fluctuations in consumer-buying behaviors, enabling them to develop an extremely responsive supply chain by better anticipating, creating and satisfying consumer demand. As a result, retailers can overcome retail infrastructure bottlenecks by leveraging more precise forecasting, leading to lower inventory costs and a positive bottom-line impact.
  • Accounting for diverse regional and cultural consumer preferences: JDA® Category Management solutions allow retailers to accurately plan, manage and tailor their planograms and floor plans to match distinct local preferences. By accommodating regional brands and tastes, retailers are able to maximize revenue potential across categories and every square foot of selling space.
