Blue Yonder Luminate Planning vs. LeanDNA

JDA WMS is a tier 1 solution for warehousing environments. Due to its price, it may not be suitable for smaller operations. Since the system allows for multiple clients, and since my company is a 3PL, JDA WMS works well for 3PL providers.

LeanDNA is a simple to use system, easy to implement, and has a very customizable analytics engine. As I continue to learn more about the dashboard I learn more of capabilities such as creating tasks and or lean projects. This is a one stop shop for all project management that is a capability you can use without even connecting your ERP to the system.

We had tremendous support from all of our account managers. The company was so keen on their customer feedback that the CEO, head of operations used to join our calls to get our feedback

The implementation process went very smooth. The upfront work from LeanDNA providing mapping data needed for our specific ERP system made the initial implementation seamless. After the data was collected the data validation process was very smooth. LeanDNA has a process that they follow in order utilize the time of the users efficiently. They provided step by step instructions on validation.

JDA WMS was a large step up from our legacy Infor solution. It filled many gaps that we couldn't fill with Infor's system. Rather than continuing to build solutions in-house to account for customer requirements, we decided to implement JDA WMS and use all of that system's capabilities to handled what we needed in our warehouses. Granted, Infor's solutions have probably improved since 2007 when we changed, but those were my experiences back when we changed WMS providers.

We have looked to test and pilot other tools and platforms but have not implemented as we down selected to use LeanDNA as the preferred tool.
