"The implementation of the JDA/Red Prairie system gave many benefits to Raben Logistics Polska and they include the increased innovativeness of the company, higher competitiveness and expanded service portfolio. However the positive effects of the implementation are felt above all by our customers. They benefit thanks to process optimization, better access to data, and the possibility of using modern and innovative tools and solutions. – explains Janusz Anioł, General Director of Raben Logistics Polska, and he adds – "In logistics, the most important issues are safety and ensuring stable customer service without any failures. We are able to achieve these goals thanks to the new system. Due to the scale of our company, the implementation lasted 3 years. It was carried out by a dedicated, highly engaged team. I am glad that our joint effort has been recognized."

JDA/RedPrairie was developed for companies which want to have effective logistics and modern warehouse management, which are a significant part of operating costs. Functionality and versatility of the warehouse management system makes it ideal for quickly developing logistics centres of Raben Logistics Polska.

One of the most important advantages of the system is the possibility of integration of diversified warehouse tools, such as latest types of bar-code scanner, as well and portable and fork-lift mounted terminals and printers.
