8 of the Top 10 Global Third-Party Logistics Providers Rely on JDA Software


In today's complex business environment - characterized by omni-channel selling and highly customized service demands - third-party logistics (3PL) providers have become a critical resource for both retailers and manufacturers. As 3PLs work to provide fast, cost-effective logistics and delivery services - as well as offer information and insights that support their customers' top-level strategic goals - advanced technology solutions are becoming an essential tool.

JDA Software Group, Inc. has emerged as a leader in providing the supply chain solutions 3PLs need to deliver exceptional service and add strategic value, while protecting their own profit margins. In fact, eight of the top 10 global third-party logistics providers on the Journal of Commerce Top 50 Global 3PLs list rely on advanced technology solutions from JDA. These include industry trendsetters such as CEVA (News - Alert), DB Schenker, DHL, and Panalpina, who have turned to JDA for its supply chain management technology and domain expertise in warehouse management, transportation planning, and logistics event management. JDA's rich heritage of the value delivery to the 3PL industry is rooted in the leading technology of i2 Technologies and RedPrairie, industry innovators who merged with JDA in the last five years, bringing world-class transportation and warehouse management solutions into the company's solution portfolio.

"In their efforts to control costs and improve profitability - while also improving their agility and responsiveness to 'me commerce' market demand - retailers and manufacturers have increased their reliance on third-party logistics providers," said Todd Johnson (News - Alert), global vice president, 3PL Business Unit at JDA Software. "However, today's leading 3PLs are providing much more than tactical services. With their wealth of information about customers, forward-looking 3PLs are applying data and analytics to contribute strategically as well."

"Logistics providers know who is ordering which products, how demand varies, how customers like to receive shipments, and other key business facts," continued Johnson. "Advanced solutions from JDA help 3PLs use this data to add tremendous strategic value for both retailers and manufacturers. For example, 3PLs can leverage JDA software to provide real-time input to their customers' demand planning and sales forecasting functions. They can leverage data to help customers create new product bundles, value-added services or delivery options based on actual consumer needs. They can also support retailers and manufacturers in creating a seamless omni-channel consumer shopping experience through intelligent, profitable fulfillment of orders across all channels."

"Today's tough omni-channel selling environment means that retailers, manufacturers and 3PLs need to forge new, stronger partnershps based on sharing data and analytics - and JDA's advanced solutions are designed to support that vision," concluded Johnson.



JDA is a platinum sponsor of the Tompkin's Supply Chain Leadership Forum this week. Todd Johnson is moderating the "Advances in Supply Chain Technology" panel on September 1 at 1:15 p.m.
