RedPrairie has been named the top warehouse management system for the 2008 third-party logistics (3PL) market by ARC Advisory Group. ARC's Warehouse Management Systems Worldwide Outlook report discussed the ranking, and cited the 3PL industry in general as a recession-resilient market, showing consistent growth during the current economic downturn.
The Warehouse Management Systems Worldwide Outlook report, published by ARC Advisory Group, offers analysis and forecast of the global warehouse management marketplace and solution providers. The report highlights that RedPrairie saw revenue growth of almost 25% in a year when the total market for warehouse management shrank.
Steve Banker, Director Supply Chain Management at ARC Advisory Group, says in the report: “RedPrairie recognises that selling WMS is not just about the WMS solution. Today, companies across all industries and revenue levels understand WMS is just part of the greater need to optimise supply chains end-to-end. RedPrairie's success, in large measure, reflects its ability to provide comprehensive, differentiated supply chain execution solutions for companies with more complex distribution challenges.”
VSc Solutions is the authorised South African reseller for the RedPrairie Warehouse Management system. VSc Solutions offers over 10 years' experience in the design, implementation and integration of warehouse management systems with a specific focus on process optimisation and re-engineering. “We have successfully implemented complex warehouse management systems for a number of blue chip clients in the automotive, FMCG and cold chain sectors,” says David Levin, CEO of VSc Solutions.

Our dedicated systems integration team ensures the smooth running and successful implementation of the warehouse management system, allowing clients to achieve a quick return on their investment,” says Levin.
