Warehouse Management: Solutions, Systems and Software 

From before an inbound shipment enters your gate until after an outbound shipment leaves, RedPrairie’s Warehouse Management solution optimizes every move – from raw materials to finished goods, and the people who move them – enabling agile, efficient and lean distribution operations that deliver the perfect order. That means lower distribution costs and happier customers.

Warehouse Management thus maximizes the value of your DC and produces the greatest return on your supply chain management investment.

Reporting

To be effective, reporting must be flexible, easy to use, and able to display all of your data exactly the way you’d like it. That’s why we developed our Reporting system to be the natural complement to our Supply Chain Execution suite of applications. It has embedded graphics to make information easy to understand, powerful analytical capabilities to get at the root cause of problems, and automatic generation capabilities so your favorite reports get delivered when you want them. This cross-functional information will help you make more timely, better-informed decisions.

Slotting

Properly slotting your pickfaces to match order demand is a proven way to increase picking efficiency and throughput while reducing costs. The more dynamic your order patterns, the more you can save.

But not all slotting plans produce ROI. You have to understand the effort involved as well as the savings. That’s why our Slotting is integrated to both Warehouse Management and Workforce Management – so we can calculate both the effort and the savings of each plan, and give you the true ROI so you can select the best option.

Supplier Management

Manufacturers and distributors need a low cost, easily deployable vehicle for communicating with suppliers, co-packers, and remote manufacturing or distribution facilities. RedPrairie’s Supplier Management application provides this capability through remote order transmission and receipt, ASN based shipping and receiving, real-time visibility into production, and inventory control across extended supply networks. It brings collaborative commerce and logistics synchronization together through a robust, web-deployable module that delivers real value with low risk. The result is a supply network that can function as if it were a single entity.
