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.

On the efficiency of logistic work (warehousing, stock-taking, sending out products to end customers) Omnipack was very efficient and we were not complaining about this. It was unfortunately way worse in the area of communication and the way we were treated by them. Our SPC was changed multiple times over the course of our cooperation (ca. 2 years) and it was difficult to sort out anything with them. A lot of invoices that we received included some strange positions that we were disagreeing with. We did not feel like we were real partners to them. All this led to our decision of resigning from cooperation with Omnipack and switch to the competition.

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!

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.

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.

When we talk about drop shipping operations Shopify is the number 1 in the world for all the major demands, so they solve a lot of questions that are pre-requisites for the business. Omnipack came as a supplementary and additional tool to solve a logistical problem that exists because the business was previously helped by Shopify.

Positive: when things were going smooth, Omnipack was very efficient and timely in sending out the orders to end customers.
Negative: endless discussions about discursive invoicing, unclear processes, etc. led to inefficient utilization of our employees.
In case us being late with the payment, Omnipack was stopping any activities and keeping our stock (we could not take even a part of it - even though the stock value was more than 10x the amount due).
