Creates programs to reduce the environmental impact of supply chains

MILWAUKEE -- RedPrairie Corporation, a world leading consumer driven optimization company, today announced a green initiative to provide the technology, solutions and strategies to create more environmentally sustainable supply chains. The company is initiating programs and providing education for companies to reduce the environmental impact of their supply chains.

RedPrairie is the first supply chain technology provider to be accepted as an Affiliate member of the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) SmartWay(SM) Transport Partnership. The Transport Partnership was established to promote the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and improve the efficiency of ground freight transportation.

Through more efficient transportation, storage and packaging of goods, companies can significantly reduce dioxide emissions, wasted packaging, paper and energy consumption."

RedPrairie is offering an educational whitepaper, "Greenlighting Efficiency: 7 Easy Steps to Reduce the Environmental Impact of Today's Supply Chains," available free to anyone interested in creating a more green and efficient supply chain. To obtain a copy, visit www.redprairie.com.

Built on an advanced Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) developed over the past 10 years, the RedPrairie integrated suite of solutions offers on-demand capabilities to over 25,000 sites worldwide for many of the world's largest companies.

RedPrairie's E2e[TM] solutions synchronize people and products throughout the customer buying cycle to ensure goods reach the right place at the right time. At the point of sale, this means consumers have access to desired products and that the store is staffed with the right people to help them make their purchases. In the production cycle, it means suppliers and manufacturers time and synchronize shipments and production based on demand signals from the retailer. And in the back room of the store, it means having the least amount of inventory, solving the "last yard" problem of the retail supply chain.

With 20 global service sites and standard service methods that have been validated over the last 30 years, RedPrairie provides unparalleled service and support. For additional information, call 1.877.733.7724, or access www.RedPrairie.com.
