| As an organization using JDA*, you might be familiar with the pain and challenges in implementing a wholesome, effective and valuable business intelligence system within the JDA environment. |
|
| Challenges include: |
|
 |
Difficulty in delivering inventory reporting like stock movement report, stock ledger, stock ageing |
|
Reporting performance - reports take hours to execute |
|
Extracting data from JDA is complex and needs highly specialized JDA skills |
|
Direct analysis on JDA impacts overall system performance reducing operational user efficiency |
|
Implementing data warehouse on JDA is time-consuming, ensuring data accuracy is tedious |
|
| Having worked with several clients on JDA environment, we have developed (perhaps the world's first) 'JDA Connector' for analytics. It is an integral part of the ARC Retail Business Intelligence Suite, with the advantage of getting sophisticated analytics fully implemented in less than 8 weeks. |
|
 |
|
| ARC is a comprehensive business intelligence solution for retail. This award-winning solution helps retailers analyze the performance of their business from store to supply chain, while revealing the hidden relationships between products, customers, promotions and multi-channels. This unparalleled business value is achieved through ARC's technologically superior Business Intelligence platform, which includes scorecarding, dashboarding, intuitive information architecture, cube analysis, actionable reporting, Q&A engine, business activity monitoring and a host of other powerful Business Intelligence features. |
|
| ARC's 'JDA Connector' pulls information from all key tables of the JDA schema (namely, TBLSTR, TCUSTOMER, INVMST, INVDPT, APSUP - see diagram for a detailed description). The Connector is built using RPG and ANSI-SQL standards, thus enabling the extraction of data from JDA and loading it to the ARC Retail Enterprise Data warehouse. The entire extraction process - from pulling data from JDA to merchandise datamarts is automated which enables less than 8 weeks of merchandise analytics implementation. |
|
| ARC's JDA Connector is a pre-built extraction layer for moving data from ERP/MMS to ARC. The ARC Connector is capable of pulling all relevant transactions on a daily basis. The key transactions it handles are Sales transactions, GRNs & Returns to Vendor, Store-ins & Store-outs, inventory positions, Inventory balances and Adjustments. Some key master elements it can manage are Store, Product, Supplier, Calendar, Customer, Cashier, Promotion and Returns. |
|
| The Key features of JDA connector are |
|
|
Seamless integration of masters and transactions of MMS to ARC structures |
|
Completely metadata driven, minimizes the effort to incorporate MMS customization into ETL process |
|
Connector differentiates the incremental & historical data transfer between ARC & MMS. In the incremental process, the connector transfers only the new & changed attributes of masters |
|
|
| The connector is built to handle retail specific processes such as: |
|
|
Late polls: Stores not polled to HO system on a particular day and data not present in the extract, before data warehouse build-up starts |
|
Corrections in the data: Single transaction changes or records modified |
|
Reversals: Removing the store and day combination |
|
Reload: Refresh the data that is reversed |
|
Partial Loads: Transactions missed in the previous day's poll |
|
|
| JDA customers have implemented ARC as their top choice for enterprise Business Intelligence and DW because of its strong retail focus, rich analytical environment, faster deployment ROI and its ease of integration with JDA systems. |
