To support aggressive growth plans, Co-op required a next generation space planning and assortment solution and chose JDA to be implemented alongside SAP, to meet its requriements.

By creating better localised ranges, improving on-shelf availability, and increasing in-store stock levels, JDA will enable Co-op to deliver on its local ranging strategy, while meeting consumers’ in-store requirements, maintaining profitability and increasing sales.

The implementation will start this month.

JDA EMEA regional sales vice-president Franck Lheureux said: “The UK convenience food store market is extremely competitive, so it is vital that retailers can offer their local customers the right goods at the right time.

“Combined with the digital transformation underway and the age of ‘me’ commerce, retailers need to keep one step ahead of customer expectations.

“With our space planning and assortment management solutions, the Co-op will be able to successfully deliver an advanced space localisation strategy to remain competitive and profitable in today’s fast paced consumer-driven market.”
