Business Wire
JDA® Software Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: JDAS)
today announced that Duty Free Philippines, the country’s
state-owned, duty-free retailer exclusive to travelers, has
selected JDA’s industry-leading Merchandising and Category
Management solution suites to help achieve precision merchandising,
maximize sales and profitably satisfy consumer demand.
Committed to meeting the shopping needs of local and
international travelers, the $190 million retailer sells perfume,
jewelry, liquor, tobacco, confectionary, cosmetics, electronic
goods and other imported merchandise in its eight on-airport and
off-airport locations throughout the Philippines. More akin to
department stores, Duty Free’s off-airport locations are also
stocked with imported merchandise ranging from breakfast cereal to
large household appliances and are mainly targeted at returning
overseas Filipino workers.
With the implementation of JDA® Merchandise Management System
(MMS) 10 years ago, Duty Free Philippines has been able to achieve
excellent performance across sales channels, provide visibility
into inventory position, as well as drive sales, margins and cash
flow. The retailer’s expansion initiatives in the past year have
prompted the implementation of additional licenses and upgrades of
MMS to help optimize inventory across channels, to stay connected
to core customers, as well as to help achieve continued success in
this dynamic retail environment.
“In support of strategic initiatives, our main focus over the
last 12 months has been the launching of the Northwing SM Cebu
store and the arrival and departure stores at the Terminal 3 Ninoy
Aquino International Airport and the new Davao International
Airport,” said Dino Belmonte, division head for MIS, Duty Free
Philippines. “With our ‘mall inside a mall’ retail concept, our
goal is to efficiently provide both international tourists and
overseas workers with a wide array of product lines, while at the
same time increasing revenues.”
Duty Free Philippines is also implementing JDA® Space Planning
to streamline operations with tightly integrated business
processes, facilitate effective collaborative planning, reduce
stock-outs, achieve precision merchandising through localized
assortments and optimize space and category performance.
“Having the capability to secure the right assortment of
products to the right locations and at the right time is vital to
our success as a leader in the duty-free retail industry,” added
Michael Christian Kho, general manager, Duty Free
Philippines.
Stephen McNulty, JDA Software regional vice president, Asia
Pacific, commented, “For an increased competitive edge,
retailers must effectively streamline business management, embrace
advanced technology, adapt to evolving consumer demands and
leverage growth opportunities, as well as drive sales and cash
flow. By investing in industry-leading Merchandising and Category
Management technology, retailers can obtain the ability to maintain
the lowest inventory investment while still sustaining superior
service levels by aligning product supply with consumer demand to
increase sales, margins and consumer satisfaction.”
McNulty added, “We are pleased to partner with Duty Free
Philippines as it implements JDA’s Merchandising and Category
Management solutions to help achieve demand-based precision
merchandising, improve operational efficiencies, drive consistent
store execution and grow its enterprise.”
