One Door and JDA Software Partner to Simplify Work for Stores
The integration of platforms transforms planograms into step-by-step instructions and gives retailers “x-ray vision” in stores.
BOSTON – Dec. 19, 2019 – One Door, the leading provider of cloud-based visual merchandising software, today announced a signed partnership agreement with Blue Yonder (formerly JDA Software, Inc). Together, Blue Yonder and One Door will integrate Blue Yonder’s category management and space planning capabilities with One Door’s platform.
For almost 50 years, planograms have been the way retailers communicate space planning and merchandising decisions to stores.
However, store teams often find planograms confusing and inconvenient. The result is poorly set shelves, low display compliance, millions in lost sales, and high labor costs.
With this new collaboration, JDA customers can turn existing planograms into step-by-step, interactive merchandising guides delivered to a mobile device.
As a result, store teams efficiently set shelves and displays, deliver higher store compliance, and provide merchandising and category management teams with invaluable insights into store performance.
“[Blue Yonder’s] leadership in planogramming and space planning have made their software the most broadly deployed in the industry,” said Tom Erskine, CEO of One Door.
“This agreement allows retail leaders using [Blue Yonder’s] category management to rapidly improve in-store execution, without changing their current planogramming process. It also highlights [Blue Yonder’s] commitment to building a partner ecosystem and creating an open platform to accelerate retail innovation.”
The two companies are integrating their leading technologies for this agreement. The combination of Blue Yonder’s Category Knowledge Base (CKB) APIs and One Door’s Planogram Connector enables the seamless integration of Blue Yonder’s planogram information into the One Door platform.
Once in One Door, planogram data is converted into visual, step-by-step instructions and delivered in real time to store teams.
“At [Blue Yonder], we are committed to creating an open platform that enables a broad ecosystem of partners to augment our existing capabilities,” said Jim Prewitt, Group Vice President of Product Management at Blue Yonder.
“One Door’s…platform provides highly complementary capabilities to our existing category management customers, and we look forward to partnering so we can continue to evolve and deepen our relationship.”
One Door and Blue Yonder will attend NRF’s Big Show on Jan. 11-14, 2020, in New York City. Retailers and brands looking to learn more about the partnership can visit Blue Yonder’s booth (#4237) on Monday, Jan. 13, 2020, at 9 a.m. for a presentation on the collaboration.
One Door will also be hosting additional information sessions on Sunday and Monday, Jan. 12 and 13, 2020, at 4 p.m. at its booth (#3937).
