Dr Pepper Snapple Group "Ready for Any Size Planogram Project" with JDA Planogram Generator

 Scottsdale, Ariz. – May 26, 2009 – JDA^® Software Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: JDAS) today announced that Dr Pepper Snapple Group, one of the largest beverage companies in North America with $5.7 billion in sales, is in production with JDA^® Planogram Generator and winning new business as a result of its innovative capabilities. JDA's Category Management solution enables Dr Pepper Snapple Group to mass produce store-specific planograms for any sized retail customer, thus the company is increasing its retail partnerships and making current accounts more strategic by adjusting for seasonality and changing consumer demand faster than its competitors.

"We are ready to take on any sized planogram project for even the largest tier-one retailers with JDA Planogram Generator," said John Williams, director, category management, Dr Pepper Snapple Group. "While our past process would take as much as 600 hours and require 10 people to support, we now have a fully automated process that takes about 40 hours to generate an equivalent number of planograms. JDA's solution accounts for bottler and fixture complexities, scales to an unlimited planogram quantity and leaves no room for human error, which saves our retail team at a minimum three weeks that they can now put towards higher-value projects."

"Instead of setting our retail customers' planograms once per year, we can perform resets twice a year or even more, which many of our competitors just can't handle," Williams added.

Dr Pepper Snapple Group is using JDA Planogram Generator to produce massive quantities of highly detailed planograms for its 50-plus brands that include Dr Pepper, Snapple, 7UP, Mott's and Canada Dry. Since JDA's solution incorporates attributes such as user-defined merchandising rules, fixtures, assortment and performance data, Dr Pepper Snapple Group can quickly adjust product placement based on shopper insights and shifting preferences across stores to more effectively manage categories and increase profitability. 

"Dr Pepper Snapple Group has reached a whole new level of competitive advantage in serving its customers and helping them better harness changes in consumer demand," said David Johnston, senior vice president of manufacturing and wholesale distribution, JDA Software. "We're thrilled to have the company leverage JDA's Planogram Generator in its fast-paced industry to generate market specific planograms for 1000's of stores with unmatched speed. Dr Pepper Snapple Group is now in a terrific position to take on more categories, make its current accounts more strategic and offer an industry-leading space management program that surpasses the requirements of the world's largest retailers."
