Jack in the Box implements real estate management software

May 18, 2011

Jack in the Box Inc. has implemented Lx Retail from Lucernex Technologies to help manage the chain's real estate portfolio. The web-based product suite covers the more than 2,200 Jack in the Box restaurants in 19 states.

By implementing the Lx Retail product suite, Jack in the box can streamline its process of selecting store sites, building and opening new locations, and managing existing locations to avoid costly time delays and save costs.

With Lx Retail now fully implemented and live, Jack in the Box is able to take advantage of the following 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 also was a development partner with Lucernex in order to design a new module dedicated to automating the 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."
