Seven Leading Latin American Companies Choose RedPrairie and NetLogistiK for WMS

Warehouse management solution to be installed at 31 sites, including the first implementation in Argentina

Milwaukee, Wisconsin – RedPrairie Corporation, a world leading consumer driven optimization company, and its partner NetLogistiK, today announced that seven companies in Latin America have recently chosen RedPrairie’s Warehouse Management solution.  NetLogistiK will implement RedPrairie’s Warehouse Management solution for six new customers in Mexico and one in Argentina. NetLogistiK and RedPrairie became partners in 2003 and currently have 42 sites in Mexico and Latin America.

“Latin America is awakening to a more advanced supply chain technology. As the world becomes more globalized and boundaries irrelevant, Latin American companies of all sizes are facing increasing competition from both near and far away countries. Especially in the vertical industries of retail and high-value goods, such as pharmaceutical, electronics and third party logistics (3PL), companies are adopting technology to better manage inventory both in the warehouse and in transit while protecting their operating margins.  These companies are gaining supply chain security and visibility to give them a strong competitive edge,” said Francisco Giral, CEO for NetLogistiK.

Companies that recently chose RedPrairie solutions in Latin America include:

·       Accel, a third party logistics provider, chose RedPrairie WMS and RF solutions to run at more than 10 sites in Mexico

·       Servicargo, a third party logistics provider, plans to implement the WMS and RF solutions at five sites in Mexico

·       Farmacias del Ahorro, a pharmaceutical retailer, will implement WMS, Voice Picking and RF at three new sites in Mexico

·       Multipack, a third party logistics provider, has implemented its first site in Mexico City in a record time of 12 weeks

·       Grupo Dico, a furniture retailer, has chosen NetLogistiK for distribution center design and RedPrairie WMS for two new sites in Mexico

·       Farmacia Guadalajara, a pharmaceutical retailer, plans to implement WMS and Voice Picking at its facilities

·       Celsur, a third party logistics provider, has chosen WMS for its Buenos Aires distribution center

“We understand that technology will play a key role in the growth plans and success of our organization,” said Marcelo Ormachea, Operations Manager from CELSUR Logistica.

“We  are certain that the experience acquired by RedPrairie in its collaboration with the world’s leading 3PL’s will provide us with more flexible and scalable advantages to our expanding business,” said Francisco Alvarez, CEO of CELSUR Logistica.

“Nowadays the logistic providers sector (3PL’s) demands real time information as well as broad controls, traceability and flexibility among the services provided to its customers. RedPrairie offers a solution especially robust for logistics providers that combines all these advantages, with differentiated configurable options to service each customer.  In addition, its billing capabilities enable us to assure and surpass the expectations of each one of them,” said Jesús Lara, CIO from Accel Logistica.
