Overall Satisfaction with RedPrairie
Rollout in process to all distribution units. The modules were customized for each unit. We implemented the LMS modules for engineered labor standards and payroll determination.
- It is a relatively cheap and basic LMS.
- If customization is not required it can be dropped into an operation quickly.
- Attractive starter program for organizations with limited engineered labor standards experience.
- Engineered labor standards are very generic and times/elements could be tightened up.
- Customization of the programs throws them a curve. logically they are resistant to rewrite what is already written, but meeting the needs of a more sophisticated customer requires greater flexibility and investment.
- On site support needs to be more robust. It is dictated up front in the project plan, but needs to be flexible to meet customer needs, based on their demands.
- Supervisor level time required to maintain the system (punches, etc) is significant and not a value-add use of their time.

All are transaction based. RedPrairie engineered labor standards are generic in comparison. Greater time requirements are needed to maintain RedPrairie transactions. RedPrairie was selected at a C-level decision based on available licenses purchased originally for other business units.
