When Camping World, a retailer of RVs, RV accessories and outdoor goods, goes live with a warehouse management system (WMS) from RedPrairie a few months from now, it will be the culmination of a careful WMS selection process the retailer conducted in conjunction with Forte, a supply chain consulting firm.
"We have been undergoing a constant upgrade of our systems over the past five years as our business has grown," says Don Smith, Camping World's senior vice president for finance and supply chain. "About 18 months ago, we decided to upgrade our WMS and upgrade our Oracle ERP system at the same time."
The selection process, which took about six months, was completed in a series of steps.
