JDA® Software Group, Inc., The Supply Chain Company®, and Penske Logistics have announced that Penske Logistics has selected the JDA® Warehouse Management and JDA® Warehouse Labor Management solutions for use on a global basis.
The decision is one in a series of recent moves by Penske Logistics to further modernize and upgrade its supply chain and logistics technology capabilities.
“We’ve invested more than $20 million in a variety of technology improvements to help fortify our existing infrastructure and keep our company on the leading edge of supply chain technology,” said Marc Althen, president, Penske Logistics. “We’re pleased to be working with JDA in a new way and we have a history with them as a valued technology partner.”
“We are delighted to help Penske Logistics integrate and optimize its distribution logistics operations,” said Hamish Brewer, chief executive officer, JDA Software. “The selection of JDA® Warehouse Management provides Penske Logistics with a market-leading global execution platform to support complex order fulfillment requirements. Coupled with their JDA® Transportation Management solutions, it enhances their position as the dominant provider in the crucial customer-facing last mile with world-class functionality that creates a competitive advantage for their blue-chip customer base.”
Penske Logistics currently operates more than 19 million square feet of warehouse space on behalf of its customers, that range from leading automotive and appliance manufacturers to industrial, grocery, retail, healthcare products and cosmetics makers.
“By tightly integrating JDA Warehouse Management with its previously deployed JDA Transportation solutions, Penske Logistics can execute on advanced upstream transportation plans with visibility into warehouse constraints such as dock profiles, and labor and warehouse capacity,” said David Johnston, senior vice president, supply chain, JDA Software. “This gives them the ability to create more realistic and optimal loads that can be executed by the warehouse for a strategic advantage in a highly competitive market.”
