RedPrarie seems to have been better than Aloha. I will say that I used Aloha a very long time ago and it is probably light years ahead now. Aloha seemed to be a little more flexible in what you could do. The major downfall was you had a system that needed to be connected to the …
RedPrairie has been the leading tool for me. I have worked with many others which I do not want to name, but RedPrairie is worth the money in the long run.
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.
Biggest impact for Finance is not having the inventory overlay for wall-to-wall inventory counts from RedPrairie to another system (ex: SAP) and having to do manual adjustments in the other system to make it then match RedPrairie after the count. Also, having to do inventory …
RedPrairie was already in use in some of our sites and selection process was done many years ago.
In terms of core WMS functionality, these vendors were very close. Our users gave RedPrairie a slight edge and a little easier to use and configure.
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 …
Only had experience working with the Vigna and RedPrairie WMS systems. Vigna had better customer support but was not as customizable a product as RedPrairie. I did not make the selection decision for either RedPrairie or Vigna. Both these systems were in place previously.
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?
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.
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.
