JDA ® Software Group, Inc. : (NASDAQ: JDAS) today announced that Optimera Gruppen A/S, a leading Norwegian building supplies and services retailer, licensed JDA ® Advanced Warehouse Replenishment : (AWR) and JDA ® Advanced Store Replenishment : (ASR) to gain a competitive advantage with improved inventory management strategies that will drive greater profitability.

The ability to

create an optimized, multilevel replenishment plan using AWR and ASR will help Optimera increase sales with improved product availability, reduce obsolescence costs and decrease in-store and warehouse stock levels. Results achieved by other companies using these solutions include a 60-percent reduction in overstocks, a 20-percent reduction in weeks of supply and a 42-percent increase in inventory turns.

“We selected JDA’s advanced replenishment solutions to help solidify our position as the leader in the local building supplies market,” said Gaute Hørlyk, logistics director, Optimera. “Based on benefits realized by other retailers using these solutions, we look forward to quickly and effectively implementing proven processes that will optimize one of our most significant costs – inventory. We expect to realize substantial savings with the support of JDA.”


Brian Mort, regional vice president, EMEA, JDA Software, commented, “Improving inventory execution is a solid investment for companies in any economy. However, in today’s retail environment, the ability to quickly turn inventory into sales to drive profitability is what differentiates winning companies from those that are struggling.

JDA’s advanced replenishment solutions help retailers like Optimera become market leaders by improving their ability to keep the right merchandise in stock at the right cost.”
