SCM is a key priority of JDA Software Group, headquartered in Arizona. The company has been invested in innovation since 1985, and currently, JDA is honored by Gartner as a leading provider of supply chain solutions, driving digital transformation.
The end-to-end technology harnesses advanced analytics, IoT, AI, and ML capabilities along with cross-platform integrations to predict disruptions, make forecasts and draw useful insights from real-time data. The portfolio of highly intelligent software products spans:
- Demand forecasting shared across an organization
- Supply planning on a flexible, collaborative platform that brings in partners, suppliers, and everyone concerned
- A fulfillment feature that leverages real-time demand insights and long-term market forecasts to reach maximum profitability
- Track and trace tools to manage inventory and raw materials
- Transportation management powered by predictive analytics
- Warehouse management facilitating automation and boosting labor productivity while minimizing manual work.
Who can benefit from it? The core focus of JDA is the retail sector. Besides common supply chain modules, the platform contains additional tailored solutions such as retail planning and merchandise management. Yet it also has offerings for manufacturers, distributors, and logistics companies. Complexity and high prices make this system a bad fit for small companies.
