Business Wire
The efficiency of space management tools took a significant step
forward today as JDA Software Group, Inc., The Supply Chain
Company, and Gladson announced a strategic alliance to provide
combined services to their joint customers in the consumer packaged
goods industry.
As a result of the alliance, companies will be better able to
more easily streamline their category management processes from the
delivery of superior integration between JDA’s industry-leading
category and space management solutions and Gladson’s comprehensive
database of product information and images. This renewed alliance
builds on a strong five-year working relationship forged by the two
companies through the delivery of innovative solutions to the
industry.
“One of the key offerings as the result of our alliance is the
improved and streamlined delivery of product images into JDA’s
images library called PIIX,” said Mark Nation, group vice president
of global alliances, JDA Software. “PIIX offers a more efficient
and centralized product characteristic and image file storage
update, maintenance and reporting capability and is closely
integrated with the Gladson’s delivery system. This integrated
delivery of data to the category management community is available
exclusively from Gladson for JDA® Intactix Knowledge Base
clients.”
Sue Sentell, Gladson’s president and chief executive officer,
added: “By combining our unique strengths ― JDA’s suite of category
and space management software and Gladson’s industry-leading
database of complete, accurate and up-to-date product images and
data ― this alliance will help accelerate the capabilities to our
shared space management users.”
“JDA and Gladson each have led important recent advancements in
category and space management,” said Bret Thurston senior manager
space and assortment planning of Sara Lee, a JDA and Gladson
client. “We appreciate their very important role in Sara Lee’s
category management programs.”
Additionally, Gladson’s category and space management database
services are now available in special package fee programs to JDA
clients in all channels, including: grocery, drug, general
merchandise and convenience stores.
Gladson is a silver sponsor of JDA FOCUS, scheduled for May 1-4
at the Swan and Dolphin Resort in Orlando, Florida. Attendees to
the conference can visit Gladson and learn more about Products and
