JDA increases agility of warehouse management

JDA Software Group Inc. is releasing enhancements to its warehouse management solution designed to make it more accessible and responsive to real-time, omnichannel supply chain needs.



To maximize accessibility of warehouse management, JDA is embedding mobility into all aspects of the solution. Thus employees can use the application in any location without a workstation. This allows managers to track and observe employees executing their work on the floor, while allowing warehouse associates to accomplish tasks using touchscreens and visual guides on the floor.



The new release also delivers capabilities to expedite returns tracking, routing, processing and the disposition of returns inventory. This reduces the time that it takes for an item to go from a return to sellable inventory.



In addition, JDA warehouse management integrates with order management systems. This enables the rapid response from distribution centers and hubs, enabling retailers to offer customer in-store fulfillment services such as click-and-collect, and buy online, pick-up in store. Integration with JDA transportation management allows automatic shipment consolidation and route optimization.
