Book distributor taps JDA Software to boost supply chain operation

June 3, 2019

Readerlink Distribution Services LLC, the biggest book distributor in the U.S., has deployed JDA Software Inc.'s Category Management, a SaaS-based supply chain technology.

The technology is uniting planning and strategy execution across 70,000 storefronts, according to a press release.

Readerlink distributes hardcover, trade and paperback books to non-trade channel booksellers in North America. It is replacing current applications supporting their demand planning, promotions and warehouse operations with several JDA solutions including JDA Demand, JDA Fulfillment, JDA Warehouse Management, JDA Warehouse Labor Management and JDA Transportation Management.

"JDA has been a tremendous partner to us in revitalizing our category management processes and with such proven results, it was a natural extension to commit again to JDA with a broad supply chain transformation," said Randy San Miguel, CIO at Readerlink, in the release. "We realize the inherent value in integrating and uniting these critical business processes that will significantly increase customer satisfaction with right-sized cost-to-serve, and look forward to achieving our ambitious goal to transform the future of distribution with JDA."
