SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 19, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) —-JDA Software Group, Inc. today announced that HyperCITY Retail India Ltd, a hypermarket associate of Shoppers’ Stop Ltd. headquartered in Mumbai, India, has realized a 30 percent increase in food sales, a two percent decrease in stock levels and enhanced customer service with the implementation and deployment of JDA Software’s Advanced Store Replenishment by E3.

HyperCITY is a one-of-a-kind, new retail format deployed to diversify and capitalize on the immense potential for hypermarkets in India. HyperCITY, the Big-Box hypermarket, provides a truly international shopping experience and offers an authoritative assortment of products that include foods, home-wares, home entertainment, electronics, appliances, furniture, sports, toys and fashion. Enjoying success in the lifestyle and bookstore retail formats, parent company The K. Raheja Corp. Group decided to branch out into the hypermarket format in 2005.

HyperCITY realized it needed to deploy technology solutions to have common applications that synergize with its other retail formats that include Shoppers’ Stop, Crossword, HomeStop, Mothercare, Brio and Desi Cafe. The initiative was challenging as the selection and implementation of such retail software had to bring in increased efficiencies and productivity, as well as ROI requirements. HyperCITY turned to JDA Software for its Advanced Store Replenishment by E3. This powerful solution has enabled HyperCITY to optimize the flow of goods by simplifying replenishment, forecasting, and analysis processes. — according to FOXBusiness.com
