JDA Seasonal Profiling

JDA Seasonal Profiling uses sophisticated intelligence techniques to deliver a clear, precise view of location- and calendar-based demand variations. The solution enables retailers, manufacturers and wholesaler-distributors to more quickly see and understand changes in consumer purchasing behavior and create more precise forecasts when "out of profile" selling is detected.

How does it solve your business challenges?

JDA Seasonal Profiling can help you create more accurate forecasts of seasonal and geographic demand variations — even on low-volume or slower-moving items. Better seasonal forecasting will drive your inventory replenishment processes, resulting in more efficient inventory levels, fewer lost sales and a more profitable bottom line.

What are the benefits?

  • Increased sales, and decreased inventory
  • Decreased safety stock
  • Improved service levels, with measurable reductions in lost sales
  • Greater understanding of hidden assortment attributes and characteristics

Why JDA?

JDA Seasonal Profiling uses advanced pattern analysis to automatically find and assign a seasonal profile to each item/location record. Plus, by generating a single seasonality pattern from multiple but similar item/location demand histories, JDA Seasonal Profiling improves the predictive accuracy of seasonal demand changes.
