JDA - Setting the standard in plannograming software

Vorteile:

Business standard - Used by most retailers, so talking the same language is easy Easy to set up and assemble libraries to start working Easy to use even when other file formats (Nielsen Spaceman, etc) are being used by customers

Nachteile:

Training is expensive, there is not much on the part of a manual or user documentation.

Functionable Planning

Kommentare: JDA overall is beneficial to have within any retail company. It can be the one source to house all details and information, and that can easily be generated through reports.

Vorteile:

What I enjoyed most about implementing this software within my company was the capacity and details it featured. The software can house various amounts of detail within a planogram or floor plan. The shortcuts make it easy to navigate from store to store/product to product.

Nachteile:

We are still improving the software, and expanding our knowledge within. I have learned that opening up multiple floorplans can cause the program to slow. I do wish I was able to drag fixtures/obstructions/planograms along a designated line like in CAD.

Good Product overall, outdated interface

Vorteile:

I like the functionality of JDA’s product, and the fact that it’s mobile-friendly. Our associates are able to view their timecsrds and request time off from the mobile app.

Nachteile:

Only con is the interface, and I’m nit-picking with this. The UI is very basic/simple, which isn’t always a bad thing, but doesn’t catch the eye in terms of aesthetics.

Easy to use and customizable

Kommentare: I build planograms for a chain of convenience stores and love how quickly I was able to learn JDA and how nice it is to have easy access to my works in progress. Sometimes it can be a little clunky but overall it’s great for the job I do.

Vorteile:

I like that this connects all of the specialists in our company and allows us to collaborate on projects.

Nachteile:

This software isn’t the most intuitive, however, once you play around a few times it becomes very easy to use.

Versatile software for POG building and analysis

Vorteile:

I used JDA for building plannograms and analyzing their performance. Enjoyed how flexible it was and the ability to make my own rules for features, reports and visualization.

Nachteile:

Steep learning curve. Too many drop down arrows on the screen

Great Tool for Planning

Kommentare: I think is a good tool and if you have a great trainning you can enjoy the experience better.

Vorteile:

This software is a great tool! makes your planning experience better than you think, in my opinion if you have a good trainning you can enjoy the all experience.

Nachteile:

In some cases the tool is a little bit complicated to use and if you want to see something especific you have to create an UDT that works like a query.

Company Boosts

Kommentare: This software is wonderful to use for store creations, planogram layouts, visual merchandising placements for brick and mortar locations. Easy to learn programming with step by step help and tutorials. Trusted software used by Tier 1 University's to help benefit undergraduates that are stepping into the wave of the future industries.

Vorteile:

Bright colors, easy step by step tutorials. User friendly programming and seamless navigation features and shortcuts add ons.

Nachteile:

Cost of product can take a good chunk out of pocket book for a startup company.

BTO used by Automotive Supplier

Vorteile:

Using BTO: Flexibel in configuration, fast to implement in case business requirements are clear defined. Covering mostly all needs of Automotive Supplier industrie in case of Build to Order Processes and Sequencing

Nachteile:

Some parts in configuration (by key user) seems to be somewhat complicate.

Poor design but good functionality

Kommentare: Design is outdated and clunky. Slow and inefficiently developed but serves the purpose. Tough training and poor and costly support. Would like to see web version with updated design parameters.

Excellent routing software

Kommentare: The best and most configurable routing software available for the grocery industry. Super fast routing turnaround.
