Planning, and Streamline Execution
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(Business Wire)--
JDA(R) Software Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: JDAS) today announced that
Schuitema NV, the second-largest Netherlands food retailer with 439
supermarkets and a turnover of 3.3 billion Euros, selected additional
solutions from JDA Software's industry-leading Space & Category
Management suite to help achieve precision merchandising through
tailored, demand-driven assortments and streamline execution,
optimizing space and category management initiatives.

Having used JDA's Space Planning by Intactix(R) application for
seven years, Schuitema licensed JDA Software's Intactix Knowledge
Base, Floor Planning, Efficient Item Assortment and Space Automation
solutions, all powered by Intactix, for a fully integrated,
comprehensive space and category management system that will support
the implementation of its new business processes.

"We selected JDA's Space and Category Management solutions over
several other vendors due to its fully integrated capabilities for
range, space and floor planning, as well as store execution, in order
to support a new approach in our business processes. The JDA solutions
will help us effectively manage and precisely execute over 2,500
planograms, allowing us to better allocate labor while sensing and
responding to consumer demand," explained Jaap Verjaal, Schuitema's
information technology director.

In addition to tracking store product performance more effectively
and reducing the amount of manual intervention and data-management
tasks once implemented, Schuitema also looks forward to increasing
analysis capabilities at the category management level, providing
accurate replenishment capacity and standardizing store layout and
appearance.

JDA Software Regional Vice President, EMEA, Arnaud Decarsin,
commented, "JDA Software's innovative solutions provide food retailers
with the ability to effectively manage segment-specific complexities
such as perishable and nonperishable inventory, multi-vendor sourcing
and direct store delivery. We look forward to helping Schuitema
execute their category and merchandising plans, enabling optimized
store-specific category and assortment management and increased
profitability by achieving demand-based precision merchandising."
