Jacksons Food Stores taps digitization for space management
The c-store chain aims to improve assortment and space planning capabilities by partnering with Blue Yonder and Plantensive.
Jacksons Food Stores will digitally transform its space management capabilities to better meet customers’ expectations. The retailer has partnered with Blue Yonder to implement its category management SaaS solution through Plantensive, a Blue Yonder partner.
Jacksons operates over 300 Chevron, Shell, and Texaco-branded locations across seven Western markets in the US as well as approximately 3,000 associates. The brand’s goal is to automate and improve its category management capabilities from manual processes.
Once implemented Blue Yonder’s solution will allow Jacksons to:
Operate a modern, structured category management process, allowing it to move from strategy to execution much quicker leveraging advanced analytics capabilities.
Allocate space more strategically through data and analytics, improving the customer shopping experience by localizing assortment to a store level.
Provide each store with specific assortment and shelf placement to efficiently operate with a localized assortment to better serve its shoppers.
“We are focused on providing customers with the service, products, and convenience they need – when, where and how they want it. To continue doing this well in today’s rapidly changing environment, we are looking forward to implementing Blue Yonder’s category management solution alongside Plantensive. This solution will allow us to meet the needs of each of our stores, serving the unique needs of each of our communities,” said Cory Jackson, President at Jacksons.
