Leading medical and surgical supply distributor chooses solution for third-party logistics healthcare initiative
MILWAUKEE, Wis. - RedPrairie Corporation, a productivity solutions provider, announced today that OM HealthCare Logistics, a new business unit of Owens & Minor, has adopted RedPrairie's Warehouse Management solution to direct operations over its flagship third-party logistics distribution center. OM HealthCare Logistics is leveraging the system for medical device and pharmaceutical distribution and management, and will also use the system for kitting and serialization track and trace for its clients in the future.
"Our organization needed a solution that could handle complex domestic and international distribution requirements, as well as compliance with FDA regulations," said Denise Odenkirk, OM HealthCare Logistics Vice President. "We ship to multiple types of clients - hospitals, integrated health care systems, distributors, physicians, alternate care locations, sales representatives and the federal government - so the solution had to be effective for all of them. RedPrairie's experience in dealing with healthcare companies has helped us optimize operations in our warehouse."
OM HealthCare Logistics uses the solution to provide clinical supply samples as well as reverse logistics. RedPrairie's Warehouse Management solution handles many of the tasks associated with those operations, along with functionality designed to enable compliance, recall management, and expiry date notification. "RedPrairie's solutions have been helping healthcare companies like Owens & Minor manage their supply chains for many years," says Mike Mayoras, RedPrairie CEO. "We're pleased to be working with their organization to contribute to a more efficient and safe medical industry overall."
