For years, category management practices have been a win-win for both
retailers and suppliers. Service levels have improved, inventory reduced, sales
per square foot increased and supply chain costs decreased. Yet realizing these
benefits can be challenging. For many trading partners, an optimized category
management program is not simple to implement or sustain.
To solve these challenges, JDA offers Outsource on Demand. Combining business
process services and flexible software delivery, Outsource on Demand can help
you find ? within weeks ? the profit hiding in your supply chain. Our category
optimization service is all-inclusive. We deliver the process, methodology,
tools and expertise. What’s more, it’s quick, easy and inexpensive to try. With
no software to license or implement, you can start realizing business benefits

packaged goods (CPG) company ? that used our Outsource on Demand services
