On November 11, 2014 JDA Software Group and IBM announced a collaboration to deliver an integrated solution for processing and fulfilling online orders next year. By bringing their software applications together into a solution, the two vendors will offer companies the ability to make more knowledgeable decisions about where to pick products to fill online orders in real time. For omnichannel retailers struggling to compete profitably against Amazon, this alliance gives them another solution for determining and managing costs associated with online fulfillment in their supply chain.
