MILWAUKEE, Wis. - RedPrairie Corporation, a leading consumer-driven optimization company, has announced its Warehouse Management (WMS), Workforce Management (WFM) and Collaboration Portal solutions will support the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) around the globe. A leading source of quality merchandise and services for U.S. military families, AAFES will deploy RedPrairie throughout its worldwide distribution network, with immediate plans to implement each system in two continental U.S. facilities.
RedPrairie's solutions will manage AAFES's large variety of products, ranging from food and beverage, to hazardous materials, to retail goods. In addition, the RedPrairie WMS will ship to a wide variety of store formats, including quasi-mobile installations, as well as permanent stores in several countries. The goal of the entire process is to improve efficiency within the supply chain by reducing lost inventory, optimizing labor, reducing safety stock, and lowering transportation costs.
"RedPrairie has always worked with a wide variety of products from company to company," says RedPrairie CEO Mike Mayoras, "AAFES is an amalgamation of all those industries: food and beverage, retail, automotive, and much more. We're proud to not only serve each of these verticals, but our men and women in uniform as well."

RedPrairie's E2e(TM) solutions synchronize people and products throughout the customer buying cycle to ensure goods reach the right place at the right time. At the point of sale, this means consumers have access to desired products and that the store is staffed with the right people to help them make their purchases. In the production cycle, it means suppliers and manufacturers time and synchronize shipments and production based on demand signals from the retailer. And in the back room of the store, it means having the least amount of inventory, solving the "last yard" problem of the retail supply chain.
With 20 global service sites and standard service methods that have been validated over the last 30 years, RedPrairie provides unparalleled service and support. For additional information, call 1.877.733.7724, or access www.RedPrairie.com.
