RedPrairie's Warehouse Management/HF Supports Strong Growth and Improves Productivity in Furniture Retailer's Distribution Center

Overview

The largest furniture retailer in Wisconsin, Steinhafels needed to improve inventory accuracy which is often a driving factor in deciding to implement a WMS. Steinhafels previously used GERS/Escalate Radio Frequency (RF) module that required the use of two scanners and did not include check-string functionality, a process that assigns random numbers to locations guaranteeing that the user is putting product away in the correct location. Steinhafels deployed RedPrairie's Warehouse Management/HF which now runs their expanded distribution operation and manages all aspects of distribution from the second a product is received until it is safely tucked away in the customer's home.
