[Production and Distribution As One Smooth Process]

Wholesale companies supplying products or components to retail businesses have the same challenges as industrial firms that sell to non-retail. Market demand is the primary driver in these industries, and textile, clothing, durable goods, chemical and other of these types of companies are headed right between a rock and a hard place. If they stock enough to cover projected sales and their projections are too high, they’re looking at excess inventory that’s costly to store and obsolescence of that inventory they’ll have to write off. On the other hand, shortages mean lost revenue. They can’t sell what they don’t have available.

From raw materials to finished goods

RedPrairie is a consumer-driven optimization company that helps industrial firms track raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods from production through distribution to become more lean and efficient. Our E2e™ supply chain execution solutions also are designed to help wholesalers gain visibility to inbound inventory from suppliers, more effectively manage the distribution center (using cross-docking, merge-in-transit and activity-based costing) and ship more efficiently to customers by improving load consolidation, routing and fleet management.

It’s all in the process

The common thread running through the solutions we’ve designed for this industry is continuous process orientation. There’s nothing more frustrating or costly than “hurry up and wait” situations. We smooth things out by offering visibility and control over both production and distribution so our customers can base production on actual store-level demand, attain visibility across the supply chain, and establish an integrated transportation network that delivers what their customers want when they want it.

What if…

…you could provide your customers with real-time order / inventory visibility via the Internet?

…you could manage your manufacturing / raw material process and distribution of finished goods within the same system?

…you could track detailed inventory characteristics such as lot numbers, serial numbers, and country of origin throughout your supply chain?

…you could manage all of your customer-driven value-added services within your warehouse management system?
