Milwaukee, WI - RedPrairie Corporation, a world leading consumer driven optimization company, announced today that its Warehouse Management and Workforce Management solutions provide new features and billing options to support third party logistics (3PL) providers. The new features incorporate all of the necessary functions required to optimize a multi-client distribution center. The new user-defined billing options span across all operations including receipt check in, putaway, picking, loading, storage, and value-added services.

"RedPrairie is proud of its history of providing specific supply chain solutions for 3PL providers," said Tom Kozenski, Vice President of Product Strategy for RedPrairie.
