Shearer's Adopts Entire Supply Chain Suite
Shearer's Foods goes live with RedPrairie Corporation's entire E2e Supply Chain suite in its 235,000 square foot Navarre, Ohio distribution center. Shearer's chose RedPrairie for its warehouse management (WMS) solution, transportation management (TMS) functionality, workforce management (WFM) application and user interface. Shearer's also plans to roll out the software package at its Lubbock, Texas facility in the coming months.
"Our method of moving product from warehouse to shelf operates through an extended distribution network and direct store delivery (DSD)," says Scott Heldreth, Shearer's vice president of Logistics and Information Technology. "So the solution we chose had to manage our main manufacturing facility's distribution center, our workforce and our remote distribution centers -- all simultaneously. RedPrairie's E2e Supply Chain suite had the tools we needed to manage the backbone of our supply chain operations efficiently and effectively."
The E2e Supply Chain suite combines RedPrairie's WMS, TMS, and WFM solutions in a configurable package, built to grow along with changing business demands. By providing better supply chain visibility through the latest in information capture, analysis, and graphical display, the E2e suite is expected to improve efficiency across every node of an extended supply chain network.
