JDA’s Continued Customer-Centric Focus Yields Record Growth in Software Bookings

 Strong Q2 and 1H growth fueled by companies embarking on a digital transformation of their supply chains 

Scottsdale, Ariz., – August 12, 2016 – JDA Software Group, Inc. completed the second quarter of 2016 closing key competitive wins and signing 33 net-new customers across a variety of solution areas. This represents the highest year-over-year growth in software bookings for Q2 and the first half of 2016 since its merger with RedPrairie in 2012. JDA also continued its customer-centric approach to delivering value to its customers by evolving its customer support website with expanded capabilities for learning, sharing, and interacting within the JDA community, as well as improved search capabilities and mobile responsiveness for more agile navigation. 

“We closed another solid quarter with key customer signings across all solution areas, particularly for manufacturing and third-party logistics (3PL). We continue to garner positive feedback from our customer base as we deliver the solutions, services, and support capabilities that address their business needs, as evidence that our customer-centric approach is indeed working,” said Bal Dail, chairman and chief executive officer, JDA. “We are poised to enable customers’ supply chain digitization journeys, as they recognize the need to invest in technologies that will increase their competitive advantage and agility while improving supply chain performance.” 

Strong Customer Signings Fuel JDA Momentum Across Solutions and Verticals 

According to a recent JDA/SC Digest survey, more than two-thirds of those surveyed believe digitization technologies will provide their organizations with significant competitive advantage over the next five years, and 64 percent anticipate investments in supply chain digitization technologies and capabilities to increase over the next three years. As such, retailers, manufacturers, wholesale distribution and 3PL providers continue to select JDA as part of their supply chain digitization journeys. As evidence, JDA saw year-over-year growth of 20 percent in software bookings. In addition, during the quarter, 50 customers went live with their JDA deployments globally.
