NewswireTODAY - /newswire/ - Plano, TX, United States, 2011/05/17 - Restaurant company implements web-based product suite to manage its Jack in the Box® real estate portfolio [NASDAQ: JACK] - JackintheBox.com / Lucernex.com.

Lucernex Technologies, Lucernex Technologies, an innovative developer of business intelligence software for real estate management and development, today announced that Jack in the Box Inc. (NASDAQ: JACK) has purchased and implemented Lucernex’s store lifecycle management solution to manage its real estate portfolio, which includes more than 2,200 Jack in the Box® restaurants across 19 states. By implementing the retail version of the Lx Retail product suite, Jack in the Box can streamline its process of selecting store sites; building and opening new store locations; as well as managing existing locations to avoid costly time delays and save costs.

By using Lucernex’s proprietary suite of user interface-driven configuration tools, Jack in the Box completed its implementation of Lx Retail in a short period of time and at a substantially lower cost than current industry standards. The user-friendly tools enabled Jack in the Box staff to complete 80 percent of the initial configuration, including data conversion and integration, internally with minimal consulting fees.

With Lx Retail now fully implemented and live, Jack in the Box is receiving the following benefits and capabilities:

• Portfolio Management;
• Market Planning and Location Analysis;
• Site Selection and Analysis;
• Construction and Project Management;
• Facilities Management;
• Capital Program and Capital Project Management.

Jack in the Box was also a development partner with Lucernex in order to design a new module dedicated to automating creation of capital programs and projects, including individual and rolled-up schedules and budgets. The Capital Projects module is now a core part of the Lx Retail suite and available for all Lucernex customers to manage their remodels, re-images, dispositions and other capital programs.

“By implementing Lx Retail, Jack in the Box was able to successfully replace two previously used systems and integrate with a number of legacy systems into a single streamlined solution,” said Louise Mailloux-McBurnett, Vice President of Product Management, Lucernex. “Moving forward, the staff at Jack in the Box will also continue to build their own processes and integrations without any additional development or consulting from Lucernex.”
