Original Press Release:



RedPrairie Provides Integrated Small Package Shipping for Direct to Consumer Operations



New Parcel Manifesting System supports time-definite shipments

Milwaukee, WI - RedPrairie Corporation, a world leading consumer driven optimization company, released its parcel manifesting system which is fully integrated with both the RedPrairie Warehouse Management and Transportation Management systems. Certified by the major parcel carriers, the system supports time-definite shipments for US-based shippers, a critical requirement to support multi-channel retailers and other direct to consumer shippers.

Comments Tom Kozenski, RedPrairie vice president product strategy, "By utilizing our proven, best-of-breed architecture we were able to tightly integrate parcel manifesting to our warehouse and transportation shipping workflows, saving customers the ongoing costs of dealing with third party system integrations. Without leaving our core systems, customers can easily generate parcel manifests and carrier compliant labels, and track shipments anywhere within the carrier networks."

The tight integration with core logistics systems optimizes selection of the lowest-cost mode of shipment, including the use of such sophisticated concepts as zone-skipping and pool point distribution. This helps to minimize transportation costs while still meeting customer service requirements. It also improves distribution center productivity and throughput by integrating the small parcel operations with order pick, pack and ship activities.

Other time and cost-saving features of the system include bundling of multiple cartons for manifesting as a single package; pre-manifesting and pre-labeling packages before picking; and printing required international shipping documentation. In addition, RedPrairie maintains up-to-date carrier rate tables and compliant labeling requirements.
