    The size and scope of the operation is the main question. In a smaller environment, or one that does not require a complex Warehouse Management Solution (WMS), RedPrairie may not be a good fit.

    IT is easy to find best route for my drivers when they ask. The accuracy of miles and routes for trucks is very good.

    Pros
    Blue Yonder (formerly JDA Software Group)
    • Cycle counting--great feature for inventory accuracy.
    • System directed put-away--system directs driver where to store and put materials away, keeps a warehouse in tip-top shape.
    • CNZ-Count near Zero, actually set at count at zero, when a bayrow emtys out, prompts fork driver to verify that the bayrow is actually empty by doing a cycle count....great for inventory accuracy!

    Cons
    Blue Yonder (formerly JDA Software Group)
    • Their implementation team was unable to provide examples where they successfully executed large scale multi site global deployments. May require strong client team or 3rd party implementation firm to ensure successful deployment and results.
    • As of 3 years ago, their parcel shipping module was very new and unproven in marketplace.
    • As of 3 years ago, Red Prairie had limited offering in modules that complement the WMS such as trading partner management and distributed order management. If you truly just need warehouse management capabilities this might not matter. For us, this meant we would need to involve more solution providers or internal development to address supply chain initiatives.

    • Weight restriction roads
    • Easier use of homescreen to get miles and rates
    • Make it more container transport friendly
    • It would be best to have an easier way to share route information with drivers with one click of the mouse.

    Again, the product was good. Customer service was OK at best. For any new installations or upgrades, I would seek a third party servicer/installer who would be more flexible in contract negotiations and provide service guarantees beyond what could expected with RedPrairie itself. If you choose to deal with RedPrairie directly, prepare for a lengthy negotiation process.

    RedPrarie seems to have been better than Aloha. I will say that I used Aloha a very long time ago and it is probably light years ahead now. Aloha seemed to be a little more flexible in what you could do. The major downfall was you had a system that needed to be connected to the POS network directly on site that would be used only for reporting. This would require you to have another PC for computing needs. Like I said before, this is probably something that has changed in the newer world of Aloha.

    Much better for trucking use and routing. Mileage is much more accurate. Its easy to use and search for alternate truck routes if needed.
