Optimera Gruppen Selects JDA for Inventory Management

Optimera Gruppen, a Norwegian building supplies and services retailer, has licensed JDA Advanced Warehouse Replenishment (AWR) and JDA Advanced Store Replenishment (ASR) to gain a competitive advantage with improved inventory management strategies that will drive greater profitability.

The ability to create an optimized, multi-level replenishment plan using AWR and ASR will help Optimera to increase sales with improved product availability, reduce obsolescence costs and decrease in-store and warehouse stock levels. Results achieved by other companies using these solutions include a 60-percent reduction in overstocks, a 20-percent reduction in weeks of supply and a 42-percent increase in inventory turns.

Brian Mort, regional VP, EMEA, JDA Software, commented, “Improving inventory execution is a solid investment for companies in any economy. However, in today’s retail environment, the ability to quickly turn inventory into sales to drive profitability is what differentiates winning companies from those that are struggling.”
