RedPrairie Corporation, the US-based provider of end-to-end logistics solutions for the food supply chain, has announced that it is reorganising its entire company and delivery systems. The new approach, the company claims, will deliver improved logistics results for its customers, which the company is now willing to guarantee through a shared risk-reward programme.
"Having assembled the most powerful set of integrated logistics solutions in our industry, we are leveraging our product strength and history to take our company, and the results our customers achieve, to a higher level," said John Jazwiec, RedPrairie's company results leader. "There is simply a better way for companies to drive out logistics costs and achieve the results they expect from supply chain software solutions."
RedPrairie said that it had transformed itself in response to two fundamental business issues facing the marketplace: the cost of logistics solutions and the return on the investment.
The company has addressed these issues with a new approach to solution deployment and it says it is willing to guarantee improved results through a shared risk-reward financial model.
In order to carry out this promise the company is leveraging all of its existing solutions to manage the supply chain through a new value delivery system that focuses end-to-end throughout the project lifecycle on value realisation and results achievement. RedPrairie is also transforming its own internal culture and processes to support this results-focused approach.
"This re-branding effort is accompanied by substantial product, process and internal cultural changes designed to guarantee that the promised customer ROI is actually achieved," said Steve Banker, director supply chain research for ARC Advisory Group. "To help guarantee customer ROI, the company is willing to enter gainsharing agreements and is implementing new supply chain services. Internal change will be driven by a customer-facing Six Sigma process."
