With JDA Luminate, JDA is bringing to market new SaaS and Edge

applications across the supply chain, retail planning, execution and

delivery areas:

JDA® Luminate™ Assortment: Enables fast, visual assortment
development and hyper-localization, leveraging data science to
identify unique customer signals driven by purchase behaviors, and to
channel shopping preferences with the ability to predict product
relevance by customer group and location and prescriptive inventory
quantities for every location of the enterprise. This solution is an
enhancement and renaming of JDA’s former JDA Retail.me solution.

JDA® Luminate™ ControlTower: Builds upon real-time visibility
across the extended supply chain, enabling cognitive insights across
planning and execution, collaboration across multiple enterprises,
combined with machine learning based prescriptive issue resolution.

JDA® Luminate™ Demand: Develops highly accurate forecasts
leveraging machine learning that leap beyond traditional forecasting
algorithms while also including additional demand influencers like the
impact of weather, social sentiment, news and local events.

JDA® Luminate™ Factory: Delivers IoT-enabled collaborative
production planning and scheduling that leverages predictive
visibility and alerts, as well as prescriptive analytics, while
respecting real-time constraints.

JDA® Luminate™ Strategic Planning: Integrates dynamic demand,
supply, financial, and new product launch data into one business view,
and leverages machine learning-based segmentation, structured and
unstructured data analysis, and self-tuning and predictive mechanisms
for greater business insights and planning.

JDA® Luminate™ StoreOptimizer: Delivers a holistic view of
store events and operations by leveraging data to optimize workflows,
simplifying decision-making for store associates and managers to
unlock more time to focus on delivering excellent customer service.

JDA® Luminate™ Supply: Uses external and internal supply
signals to proactively identify and resolve supply issues. Leverages
real-time sensing of external influences on supply (facilitated by
alerts from SNEW, IoT and other digital signals), allowing systems to
self-heal and make autonomous decisions to remediate supply risk and
achieve higher service levels.

JDA® Luminate™ Transport: Leverages enhanced real-time
visibility and analytics to accurately predict disruptions to planned
transportation, self-diagnose root causes to exceptions and correlate
those events to impactful remediation. Over time, self-tuning
mechanisms adapt solution quality to adjust to changes and prevent
disruptions.

JDA® Luminate™ Warehouse: Enables task optimization through AI
and machine learning by bringing together actual work tasks, travel
distance, task duration and completion time, coupled with real-time
positioning of people, machines and inventory, resulting in balanced,
prioritized and prescriptive tasks to eliminate congestion and improve
completion throughput.
