RedPrairie Execution Management chosen by Sheetz to maximize store consistency and productivity
Solution chosen to centralize task and store process management
MILWAUKEE, Wis. – RedPrairie Corporation, a consumer-driven optimization company, has announced Sheetz plans to implement RedPrairie’s Execution Management solution – a development occurring soon after Sheetz’s successful completion of a RedPrairie Site Operations rollout in more than 350 stores. Sheetz is the first petroleum/convenience store customer to purchase Execution Management, a product widely used in other retail segments.
RedPrairie Execution Management is a solution that directs the preparation for and implementation of complex tasks between a company’s headquarters and store management. By automating task planning, event scheduling, and interpersonal communication, the solution will help Sheetz effectively execute new product releases, promotions, and other programs efficiently and consistently.
“We selected RedPrairie to help streamline communication, and track execution at the store level,” says Sheetz IT Director, Jim Wenner, “RedPrairie’s Execution Management will provide direction to our stores from a single source, and convey objectives clearly and succinctly. This will ensure events and promotions are carried out in an efficient and uniform fashion.”
In addition to implementing automated planning, scheduling and execution of complex tasks, RedPrairie’s Execution Management solution will determine and direct best practices among store employees, improving workforce efficiency across the board.
“Sheetz is an innovative leader in the petroleum/convenience store industry,” says Mike Mayoras, RedPrairie CEO, “We are thrilled they are adopting Execution Management software, and bringing operation excellence to the next level. It is a remarkable compliment to their recent RedPrairie Site Operations deployment.”
