Challenge	CONAD Centro Nord, a territorial cooperative associated with the National Consortium of Retailers (CONAD) operating in the mass distribution market in Italy, was looking to optimize their re-ordering process. The company aimed to reduce costs due to a lower quality of goods moved and a lower quantity of managed orders to vendors.

Solution	CONAD Centro Nord chose JDA’s Advanced Warehouse Replenishment (AWR) system because of its track record of successful implementations and proven results achieved by other JDA AWR grocery retail customers. JDA’s AWR system has proven to be reliable since the first day it was implemented and is meeting the company’s expectations for dry and frozen goods.

Due to this, the team can spend more time focusing on other related tasks, such as the management of promotional forecasts. By implementing JDA’s solutions, CONAD Centro Nord has been able to carry out a detailed functional analysis. The company credits the great implementation experience to the JDA team’s preparation and spirit of collaboration. Read More Log in to view content
