International Supermarket Retailer H-E-B of Mexico Completes JDA Solution Implementation

JDA^® Software Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: JDAS), The Supply Chain Company^®, today announced that H-E-B Mexico, an international supermarket retailer, has completed its implementation of JDA^® Portfolio Merchandise Management, bringing innovation to its global supply chain to provide accurate and reliable transactional information for truly efficient merchandise management.

With this implementation, H-E-B Mexico continues its JDA investment, having successfully deployed JDA^® Demand, JDA^® Fulfillment, and the JDA^® Intactix Knowledge Base to support its global supply chain.

H-E-B Mexico operates 39 supermarkets and two distribution centers in five Mexican states – Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas, Coahuila, Guanajuato and San Luis Potosi – employing more than 7,000 people. A wholly-owned subsidiary of H-E-B Grocery Company, LP, H-E-B Mexico is an innovative retailer known for its fresh food, quality products, convenient services, and a commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainability.

H-E-B Mexico uses JDA Portfolio Merchandise Management to provide accurate and reliable merchandise life cycle tracking. It acts as H-E-B Mexico’s transactional system, integrating with customer retail financial systems to support its current and future merchandise business growth.

“We required a robust merchandising system to replace our legacy home grown system and act as our primary transactional system,” said Guillermo Varela, HR Director, H-E-B Mexico. “After a lengthy and demanding RFP process, it was obvious JDA provided the best solution to meet our needs. The JDA solution gives us a proven merchandise management system that integrates very well with our other retail and financial systems and provides us with the scalability and flexibility necessary to support our anticipated growth.”

“As an international retailer, H-E-B Mexico understands the value of merchandising best practices and the operational performance benefits they can bring to an enterprise,” said Greg Morrison, Group Vice President, Latin America JDA Software. “We are very excited to see H-E-B Mexico take their implementation live and look forward to watching them continue their growth as one of the most important retailers in Mexico.”
