Junction Solutions Partners With TXT e-solutions to Provide Consumer Driven Planning

– Partnership will Help Customers Gain a Competitive Advantage by Completely Enabling a Collaborative Data Management and Demand Intelligence System —

Junction Solutions, a provider of vertical industry focused enterprise software and services based on the Microsoft platform, today announced it has partnered with TXT e-solutions in order to integrate Consumer Demand Planning functionality to Junction Solutions’ JunctionMCR solution for retailers and JunctionF/B for food & beverage processors. TXT’s Consumer Driven Planning for Microsoft Dynamics AX is a state-of-the-art planning solution that substantially enhances demand management processes, helping companies to deliver value and competitive differentiation.

With the integration of TXT’s Consumer Driven Planning functionality to Junction Solutions’ retail and food & beverage solutions, customers gain a competitive advantage by completely enabling a collaborative data management and demand intelligence system. AMR Research describes this system as the integration of five demand-driven retailing themes, including: consumer-centric merchandising, product development, store and cross-channel operations, on-shelf availability, agile supplier networks, and enterprise management. As a result, this partnership will allow customers of both the JunctionMCR and JunctionF/B solutions to monitor demand trends, align internal processes and policies around accurate demand forecasts, shape customer demand with effective promotions and campaigns, and optimize inventories and execute efficient replenishment along the distribution chain — on a single Microsoft platform.

“Identifying market trends is essential to good demand planning and peak performance,” said Brian Carpizo, President at Junction Solutions. “By adding this powerful planning and optimization functionality to our JunctionMCR and JunctionF/B solutions, our customers can quickly transform their business into a competitive demand-driven enterprise.”

Consumer Driven Planning for Microsoft Dynamics AX is part of the Microsoft Dynamics Industry Solutions program which provides solutions that extend core Microsoft Dynamics AX feature functionality to meet the unique needs of specific industries and vertical markets. This program provides those industries with complete industry focused solutions covering advanced supply chain planning, enterprise resource planning and execution, and business intelligence.

“The partnership between Junction Solutions and TXT e-Solutions brings together two companies that have demonstrated a number of key qualities that make them uniquely qualified to work with Microsoft to develop industry specific Microsoft Dynamics AX software solutions,” said Jeff McKee, director of global product management for Microsoft Dynamics AX. ”Their partnership combines these qualities, providing great opportunity for customers looking for specific industry-based solutions.”
