For years, category management practices have been a win-win for both
retailers and suppliers. Service levels have improved, inventory reduced, sales
per square foot increased and supply chain costs decreased. Yet realizing these
benefits can be challenging. For many trading partners, an optimized category
management program is not simple to implement or sustain.
To solve these challenges, JDA offers Outsource on Demand. Combining business
process services and flexible software delivery, Outsource on Demand can help
you find – within weeks – the profit hiding in your supply chain. Our category
optimization service is all-inclusive. We deliver the process, methodology,
tools and expertise. What’s more, it’s quick, easy and inexpensive to try. With
no software to license or implement, you can start realizing business benefits
in just a few weeks. In fact, one trading pair – a large retailer and consumer
packaged goods (CPG) company – that used our Outsource on Demand services
realized these results:
- Inventory reduction cost savings of 22 percent
- Sales increases averaging 5-7 percent per store cluster
- Increase in number of planograms by 30 percent
- Opportunity for new assortments
- Increased sales per square foot
Contact us today to launch or enhance your category management initiatives.
We’ll start with a readiness assessment and then determine the right package for
you, including Planogramming, Space Analysis and Category Optimization. We also
offer several different delivery options. Whether you choose a “pay as you go”
monthly program or license the software outright, you can pick the software
delivery module that’s right for your business.
