Rose Pharmacy Selects JDA Software`s Merchandise Management System and Space Planning Solutions

Philippines-Based Drugstore Chain to Leverage JDA Solutions to Support Future
Growth and Increasingly Complex Business Operations
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(Business Wire)--
JDA® Software Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: JDAS) announced today that Rose Pharmacy,
Inc., a major drugstore chain in the Philippines with more than 140 locations,
licensed JDA® Merchandise Management System and JDA® Space Planning to support
the retailer`s growth and increasingly complex business operations.

The drugstore chain realized it needed an end-to-end, scalable merchandise
management solution that offered warehousing, financial and business
reporting/analytical capabilities, and could enhance inventory management
efficiencies to avoid overstock and out-of-stock situations. Additionally, Rose
Pharmacy sought a category management solution that could drive customer
satisfaction and sales by efficiently executing demand-driven category plans.
After an extensive evaluation process, the retailer selected JDA over other
software vendors that provide ERP-based solutions because of JDA`s proven,
industry-leading Merchandising and Category Management applications.

"In order to remain competitive, we needed proven, cost-effective and integrated
technology that would enable us to adapt to evolving consumer demands and
leverage growth opportunities," said Emma Hassamal, vice president of
operations, Rose Pharmacy. "With the JDA Merchandise Management System and Space
Planning solutions, we will be able to execute optimal replenishment strategies
to ensure we have the right products available in the right stores at the right
time; manage the distribution of inventory internally and externally with our
suppliers; handle business policies within one system; as well as produce
category plans that optimize the position, performance and layout of product
categories. We are looking forward to leveraging the JDA solutions to streamline
our business processes and improve overall performance."

Stephen McNulty, JDA Software regional vice president, Asia Pacific, commented,
"Many retailers realize that trying to adapt traditional ERP solutions to solve
very retail-specific merchandise management functions may create major
challenges in their ability to effectively plan and execute their merchandise
strategies. Some of the issues include gaps in replenishment and inventory
management, as well as inadequate pricing and promotions capabilities - all of
which may limit their ability to compete effectively and in a timely manner. The
robust and scalable retail management functionalities needed in today`s
challenging market can be best addressed by a true merchandise management
system. In fact, JDA Merchandise Management System is being used by over 80
percent of major Philippine retailers over the last 10 years and has a proven
track record of being able to meet and scale to their evolving retail management
requirements."

McNulty added, "Major retailers are also making investments in strategic
planning areas like category management. Having the capability to get the right
assortment of products to the right store and at the right time is critical to
determining which companies will surface as leaders in the local retail
industry. JDA's objective is to offer the most innovative solutions that enable
retailers worldwide to address key challenges and support strategic initiatives.
We are pleased to partner with Rose Pharmacy as it implements JDA`s
Merchandising and Category Management solutions to more effectively operate and
grow its business."

JDA Space Planning is part of the JDA Category Management solution suite, built
on the foundation of Intactix technology acquired by JDA in April 2000. JDA
Category Management delivers fast ROI by enabling retailers and suppliers to
drive overall profitability and consistent store execution, maximize sales per
selling area and improve customer satisfaction through optimized strategic
merchandising initiatives.
