RedPrairie's Warehouse Management/HF Supports Strong Growth and Improves Productivity in Furniture Retailer's Distribution Center | 2008-05-29 | RedPrairie |
| 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.

RedPrairie's Warehouse Management/HF Improves Productivity and Efficiency at Furniture Retailer's Distribution Center | 2008-05-29 | RedPrairie |
| Of late, El Dorado had more than $115 million in sales and moved 440,000 pieces of furniture through its distribution center. With so much merchandise on the move, the company's existing warehouse management system simply couldn't keep up. Their previous system was a batch barcode system used only for receiving, so they did a lot of work by hand and the paper trail was enormous. El Dorado deployed Warehouse Management/HF from RedPrairie which now manages El Dorado's entire warehouse operation, including putaways, picks, customer pickups, relocations, and damaged merchandise. The system determines the location of the needed merchandise and directs forklift operators to the correct location.
