Jack of all Games Transforms Forecasting Operations

10/4/2007

Video game distributor Jack of all Games successfully implements Oracle's Demantra to revamp its demand planning and forecasting operations. Prior to implementing Oracle's Demantra, Jack of all Games relied on manual spreadsheets to keep track of store-level forecasting and replenishment. When the company wanted to create a vendor managed inventory program, it realized that it needed a more comprehensive and scalable software foundation. "Across the United States, we are shipping the latest games to all major retailers as well as many regional locations, video stores and all branches of the military. To ensure that our supply is consistent with our customers' demand, we needed a solution that would help to ensure that the right games, in the appropriate quantities are available when needed," says Jack of all Games Director, Manufacturing and Distribution Systems, David Moon. "After evaluating multiple vendor offerings, Oracle's Demantra stood out as the most comprehensive, scalable demand planning solution available today. The implementation took place in less time than originally forecasted and under budget." Enabled by Oracle's Demantra, Jack of all Games benefits from a more disciplined planning process, reduced out-of-stock or excess inventory and increased revenue. POS data will also assist the company with its forecasting process.
