Naperville, Ill. -- OfficeMax has been recognized as a JDA Software Group 2011 Real Results Winner for Best in Demand Management.
Now in its sixth year, the Real Results Awards recognize companies that have demonstrated business-process excellence and achieved quantifiable benefits through the adoption of industry best practices and use of JDA's industry-leading solutions and services. OfficeMax was honored at Focus 2011, JDA's annual user conference in Orlando, Florida, May 1-4, 2011.
Leveraging both JDA solutions and services, OfficeMax has used greater forecast accuracy to reduce inventory while improving customer service levels.

As the winner for Best in Demand Management, OfficeMax is being recognized for demonstrating the best use of JDA solutions and services to address business challenges related to inventory requirements, customer service, forecast accuracy, demand planning, performance management, demand shaping and/or price and promotions management activities.
