Aptean Catalyst WMS vs. Blue Yonder Luminate Logistics

Catalyst is good for data collection and being able to create individualized programs. However, it lacks the ability to export data via an API to do more in depth reporting and outcome analysis

It is more suited for a NON manufacturing site. It may not be the best with integrating with Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs). Do you have any kind of Wellness Reporting via dashboarding? Do you offer line supply via Directed work? What is your support model?

• Easy to learn and use.
• Flexibility when creating different behavioral programs.

Incentivized

• Provides great and reliable data to give feedback to your employees.
• Gives you data to see the true picture on effectiveness in youf production areas.
• The tools and reports are endless and can be used by the front line supervisor and the management team to see trend lines on performance and gaps that need to be closed.

Incentivized

• It is very challenging to export our data to a more in-depth analysis of outcomes.
• Inflexible API to connect with other platforms and reporting modules.

Incentivized

• 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.

Once these systems get installed, it becomes hard to justify switching out for different provider. For facilities that are using RedPrairie, it's unlikely we would change in the near future and should be renewing.

I found RedPraire to be the best system I have used of the years.

It is pretty easy to get a hold of someone and get support, however, the software itself is limited

Incentivized

It was a better clinical data book initially, however it has been slow to upgrade and we are now looking at other technologies

Incentivized

RedPrairie is more expensive than Infor's solution that we used. However, it met our customer requirements much better than the Infor solution. Manhattan was similarly priced, but seemed to be less modification-friendly.

Incentivized

• It is a positive investment as it allows our clinical supervisors to be more efficient and not need to manually record or graph data.

Incentivized

• Warehousing errors were reduced by almost 12% with Blue Yonder Luminate Logistics.
• Order processing was done at more than 7% of the average TAT with the use of this service.
• End-user & ops team had higher productivity by almost 15% after integrating the service in day-to-day activities.
