Jack of all Games maintains exclusive distribution agreements with Take 2, Globalstar, Rockstar and Gathering of Developers to ensure that the hottest game titles reach national retailers as quickly as possible. 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. After evaluating offerings from JDA, Demand Works, i2 Technologies and Mercia, the company selected Oracle's Demantra based on the combination of advanced forecasting capabilities, experience handling point-of-sale (POS) data and VMI capabilities. Additionally, Jack of all Games was impressed by Oracle's extensive industry experience in the media and entertainment sector.

"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," said 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.

Over a period of time, Jack of all Games anticipates a significant reduction in out-of-stock and excess or obsolete inventory as well as price protection spending. Additionally, the ability to plan accurately at the local store level should ultimately drive higher revenues and better relationships with key retailers.
