JDA SOFTWARE GROUP INC
With 18 stores, this leading regional grocer will implement five advanced solutions from JDA to support enhanced efficiency and profitability as it adds new stores
Scottsdale, Ariz. - September 21, 2015 - JDA Software Group, Inc., today announced that Gelson's Markets, which operates 18 full-service specialty grocery stores in Southern California, will implement JDA Space & Category Management solutions to increase the efficiency and automation of Gelson's planning activities, supporting the retailer's ambitious growth initiative.
Beginning later this year, Gelson's Markets will implement JDA® Space Planning™,JDA® Floor Planning™,JDA® Category Knowledge Base™ (formerly Intactix Knowledge Base), and JDA® Assortment Optimization™. These solutions will help Gelson's create targeted assortments that maximize the profitability of available shelf space - while also maximizing the efficiency of planning personnel.
Founded in 1951 with a single store in Burbank, California, today Gelson's Markets is a leading regional grocer with 18 stores across Southern California. In 2014, the company was acquired by TPG, a global private investment firm. Under TPG's management, Gelson's is embarking on a plan to add new stores throughout the region.
"In order to grow in today's hyper-competitive grocery environment, we need to offer the same high levels of service, as well as the targeted product assortments, that Gelson's has built its reputation on," said Doug Freund, vice president of MIS for Gelson's Markets. "This means significantly increasing our space and category management productivity, without adding new resources. JDA's best-of breed Space & Category Management solutions will significantly increase the automation and efficiency of plan generation, while also enhancing the accuracy of our assortments - because we will be relying on statistical shopper data. We aim to be first to market on new items for our customers, and we expect our JDA implementation to speed up that process for us, while providing both top- and bottom-line benefits that will position Gelson's for continued success."
Historically, Gelson's Markets has relied on manual, spreadsheet-based planning processes to guide its space and category management activities. These processes have proven to be unable to support today's fast-moving retail environment - as well as Gelson's increasing need to understand and target local shopper needs.
"We are pleased to partner with JDA as we enter the next phase of our company's growth," Freund added. "Supported by the powerful capabilities of JDA software, Gelson's will continue to provide the highest levels of service to our customers at our current locations, while offering a remarkable shopping experience to consumers in other areas of Southern California."
"Gelson's Markets has a 64-year history of providing Southern California shoppers with high-quality products, matched by high-quality service," said Danny Halim, vice president of industry strategy at JDA. "JDA is delighted to partner with Gelson's to support its next era of success. By increasing the productivity and accuracy of Gelson's space and category management activities, the new JDA solutions will position this historic market leader for profitability in today's complex omni-channel retail environment."
