JDA Unlocks Powerful Capabilities for the Mobile WorkerJDA Software Group, Inc. today announced expansion of its mobility strategy with a new JDA Certified Mobile Alliance Program, enabling alliances to certify mobile applications based on JDA's industry-leading omni-channel retail and supply chain solutions. JDA has also announced two new mobile applications that expand upon JDA's existing mobile solutions for the worker on the go. These mobility enhancements unlock choice and flexibility for customers, whether they wish to build their own mobile solution in-house, leverage an alliance partner to build a customized solution, or leverage JDA's mobile applications directly. "At JDA, we know and understand the importance of mobility in the enterprise and continue to strengthen our mobile capabilities to arm customers with the visibility, convenience and efficiency mobility offers, because on-the-go workers need customized applications at their fingertips based on their task, role and use case," said Paula Natoli, vice president, product management, JDA. "Mobility no longer stops at the consumer experience; it extends to the enterprise supply chain more and more. Whether it's a store associate on the floor, a district manager overseeing multiple stores, a buyer, a field sales representative, a category manager, a transportation planner or carrier, or the chief logistics officer, mobility plays a vital role in driving efficiency in managing today's complex, omni-channel supply chains." JDA Certified Mobile Alliance Program Untethers the Mobile Workforce With a focus on the end user in mind, JDA's holistic mobile strategy supports on-the-go tasks through multiple mobile options spanning responsive web design to installable mobile applications that serve a very specific task, use case or user role. The new JDA Certified Mobile Alliance Program -- part of JDA's partner ecosystem strategy - builds upon this strategy, enabling approved third-party alliance partners to develop mobile applications which enhance the customer user experience as they interact with core JDA solutions. This program validates that mobile applications produced by JDA alliances will work seamlessly with JDA solutions, not only extending return on their investment, but ensuring that these mobile applications meet customers' specific requirements and can be brought to market quickly. Through JDA's audit and certification process, alliances' mobile applications will gain JDA's certification for operability, providing joint customers with consistent user experiences that they can count on to operate today as well as into the future. REPL Group is one of the first alliance partners to join the JDA Certified Mobile Alliance Program, and has already been involved in a number of successful implementations where a JDA solution and an REPL application have been deployed to deliver a unique and personalized solution for the end customer. REPL Group CEO Mike Callender said: "REPL prides itself on being a flexible, agile and creative organization that is able to understand and solve user experience challenges quickly and cost-effectively. Companies like ours are well-placed to complement JDA solutions and enhance their functionality by developing bespoke user experiences in response to specific customer requirements. We already enjoy a longstanding partnership with JDA, and we believe this mobile program will deliver even greater advantage for JDA, REPL and our mny existing and future joint customers." New Mobile Applications Enhance Efficiency and Enable Collaboration on the Fly With this announcement, JDA introduces two new mobile applications to its current mobile portfolio - JDA InStock and JDA Buyer - for JDA Demand & Fulfillment, JDA Flowcasting and JDA Assortment customers, untethering planners from their desks and improving their efficiency. JDA Buyer - for JDA Assortment users - enables buyers to capture product images online or offline and quickly take notes, create placeholders at the style or style color level, and sync all data back to the assortment planning process, all from their iOS phone or tablet. JDA InStock - for JDA Demand & Fulfillment and JDA Flowcasting users - brings data visibility to replenishment planners, managers and directors, preventing costly out-of-stocks by identifying out-of-stock issues early enough to take action and prevent them. Understanding the importance of enabling customization and extensions to mobile experiences, these new mobile applications join JDA's Mobile Extensions system that allows customers to brand and customize their own JDA mobile application, providing added control and visibility into customers' JDA mobile application configuration.
