Overall Satisfaction with RedPrairie
It's used across the whole organization and it's supposed to work as a warehouse management system.
- Directed work.
- Highly customizable
- Quite user un-friendly database design; DB table names and column names don't give any clue about their purpose.
- Data separation is non-effective. This is NOT a software for a 3PL (3rd party logistics company). Multiple clients sharing the same warehouse share tables - such as the Item Master table - without a clear indication of the client's name.
- Several different tables for ItemMaster, way too complicated.
- System would reject new Items if the Item Color sent via EDI hasn't been codified before the Item Master upload. That is a problem for fashion clients that create many new color codes every season.
- Software requires SERVER reboot for every new change in order for the change to be effective. Unacceptable when many clients are on the same server and on a distributed organization.
- Slower implementation / conversion
- Decreased productivity
- Highly increased implementation costs
- ILS and SCALE
I did not select RedPrairie and I would have not selected it if I was the one making the decision.
