Rapid delivery times for retail June 1st 2008 Retailer John Lewis is
enjoying growing sales and
RedPrairie's Warehouse and
Workforce Management has
underpinned the rapid
delivery times required.
Streamlined processes and
real-time operations visibility
enabled high system output
at John Lewis's Northampton
distribution centre in the 11
days prior to Christmas
2007, the period when the
retailer earns 40% of its
income. The voice-directed
capabilities of Warehouse
Management improved
picking by 40% and
consignment verification and
put-away time dropped from
28 hours to three and a half.
Average ship lead times
were cut from 51 hours to
38.
RedPrairie's solution suite
will be live at all six John
Lewis distribution centres by
mid 2008. More articles from RedPrairie Ltd: |
