RedPrairie to discuss transportation management excellence at Logistics Link South
Transport Management Suite allows companies to automate processes and help reduce costs
Stokenchurch, UK
– RedPrairie Holding Inc., a productivity solutions provider, will be
discussing how transportation management systems (TMS) can be an
effective tool to meet the challenges arising from a tough economic
climate at Logistics Link South (2nd-3rd February 2010, Sandown Park,
Esher, stand 1).
Andrew Kirkwood, Senior Vice President and
Executive Director, RedPrairie, said “At a time when it is vital for
businesses to reduce cost and increase efficiencies, RedPrairie’s
solutions can help companies keep their goods moving, enable employees
to work more effectively, and reduce transport costs. Depending on the
company’s current situation, a TMS could help save up to 20-40% of
costs associated with process improvement and administration.”
For
example, Fleet Management, an integrated module of RedPrairie’s
Transportation Management system, optimises daily routing and
scheduling of pick-up and delivery for private and dedicated fleets.
Through load balancing and stop assignment, Fleet Management helps
ensure efficient capacity utilisation, making it possible to serve more
customers each day and potentially reducing the number of vehicles in
operation.
COPLEX®, RedPrairie’s continuous planning and
execution engine, constantly evaluates orders, fulfilment requirements,
capacity limitations, and other constraints to automatically generate
the most effective, lowest cost plan.
Transportation Management
also offers the advantage of integration with RedPrairie’s Warehouse
Management suite, providing workflow processing that makes fulfilment
and logistics a single, coordinated function. Integration to legacy and
third party systems is also available.Visitors to Logistics Link South
will also be able to talk to RedPrairie experts about the benefits that
can be achieved with RedPrairie’s Workforce Management solution, which
helps organisations improve productivity in their distribution centres.
