RedPrairie Announces Advanced Inventory Methods

RedPrairie Corporation rolls out new efficiencies for measuring fluids, powders and other variable weighted materials with its warehouse management solution. The new efficiencies in the areas of receiving, picking, cycle counting, allocating and inventory movements, allow companies -- specifically those in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food and beverage industries -- greater ease in moving and tracking their raw material inventory from plant storage through the manufacturing process, and ultimately as it is used to create the finished product. Another benefit of the new inventory management advances is improved brand protection in the event of a recall. RedPrairie has the ability to trace the genealogy of raw materials back to the source by tracking the lot codes and manufacturing dates of each bill of material component used in the manufacturing process.
