JDA Fullfillment positions the right inventory in the right distribution centers, in the right stores, at the right time, while ensuring that inventory is available across the Customer-Driven Value Chain. It simultaneously reduces stockouts while improving inventory turns and product sell-through, resulting in higher margins. This solution leverages forecast and end customer demand signals to create an optimized, multi-level replenishment plan down to the store level.
JDA Fulfillment begins with the setting of optimal inventory policy decisions through safety stock strategies. Next, store-level forecasts are used to determine distribution requirements that pull product through distribution centers. Retailers can also leverage the solution to optimally allocate finished goods inventory to ensure that the product is placed at the best location to maximize sales.
