JDA announces strong results, driven by end-to-end supply chain transformations

JDA Software has delivered a historically strong set of financial results, which it says has been driven by end-to-end supply chain transformations.

Strong financial momentum has been driven by customer demand for its software and software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions in the first quarter of 2018.

In a statement, JDA said the results underscore its focus on delivering a cognitive, connected, end-to-end supply chain platform, capable of powering autonomous decision-making and delivering enhanced value to our customers.

“In today’s digital transformations, the ability to synchronise data across the enterprise is critical for success. JDA’s portfolio of end-to-end supply chain across planning, warehouse & transportation, and retail operations is driving real-time insights for our customers,” said Girish Rishi, chief executive officer, JDA.
