Redprairie boosts productivity at Davis Turner

Redprairie has revealed how its warehouse management system has helped Davies Turner boost productivity by 20 per cent.

Redprairie supplied Davies Turner with its warehouse management system, billing software and its integrator product, an enterprise application integration tool that helps Davies Turner integrate with multiple host systems, supporting multiple contracts with customers for sales, invoices and reports.

Davies Turner's existing system did not fit its business requirements.

Each time a new client came on board the programme needed to be rewritten, which could take up to three months and also put huge pressure on the company's internal development team.

As Davies Turner wanted to take ownership of the project and drive down costs, it decided to manage the roll-out process, thanks to Redprairie's willingness to transfer knowledge.

Redprairie and Davies Turner worked closely on the first roll out, which went live in April 2007.

On the projects that followed, Davies Turner took the lead, using Redprairie as a resource when required.

Seven sites are now live with 45 clients.

The integration tool was rolled out as part of the warehouse management project, and the billing product is currently being implemented.

This is a crucial project for Davies Turner, as current procedures are complex and the system takes a long time to manage.

The new RedPrairie solution will make the process much quicker.

Future plans include looking at rolling out the warehouse management solution to the freight management arm of its business.
