RedPrairie`s Dashboard Portal Enables Companies To Get Better Control Over Their Supply Chains
Web-based Portal Ties Together Key Real-Time Execution Activity and Performance Data, Personalizing Logistics Information and Applications to Specific User Needs
WAUKESHA, Wis.--April 2, 2003--RedPrairie Corporation today announced DLx(R) Dashboard, a web-based portal that delivers a wide range of real-time supply chain information, applications, decision support tools and performance data to enable companies to improve management of their supply chains and make better decisions, leading to lower costs and improved customer service. Users can easily personalize the Dashboard to their specific role and information needs. The announcement was made at RedShift 2003, RedPrairie`s annual user conference and logistics summit, in Scottsdale, AZ.
DLx(R) Dashboard is the latest in a wide range of web-based supply chain portals within RedPrairie`s DigitaLogistix(TM) suite, the supply chain execution industry`s most comprehensive set of integrated solutions to drive out logistics costs and improve performance. The Dashboard provides a single web-based framework in which all DigitaLogistix(TM) suite information and applications, as well as data from other applications, is made available to users, configurable to their role and needs. Key capabilities include:
-- Real-time access to supply chain information through RedPrairie`s supply chain visibility tools. For example, based on an alert about a late order, a user could quickly drill down into detailed order status information to determine the cause and consider alternatives.
-- Access to multiple DigitaLogistix(TM) applications running within the portal framework to provide unified control over logistics execution and enabling integrated workflows.
-- Personalization of dashboard views through simple configuration of key performance indicator (KPI) information and metrics.
-- Event and exception alerts as they occur during execution processes via real-time feeds from RedPrairie`s Event Management System infrastructure to provide immediate visibility and response to logistics problems. Users easily control what alerts they wish to receive through a simple subscription process.
"Yahoo and other consumer portals have shown users the value and benefits of an intuitive, personalized web site that delivers the information and capabilities they need," says John Jazwiec, Company Results Leader. "DLx(R) Dashboard combines the power of a portal framework with the richness of our broad suite of logistics solutions, providing comprehensive real-time and historical logistics information to enable much better control over enterprise logistics operations."
DLx(R) Dashboard leverages RedPrairie Agent, RedPrairie`s advanced technical architecture, to easily personalize data, metrics and application views. Thousands of individual agents form the building blocks of RedPrairie`s DigitaLogistix(TM) suite. These agents operate within a framework that enables them to easily communicate with each other, with the Dashboard, and with external applications. This provides the most flexible platform in the industry to meet both current requirements and respond to future supply chain change without programming.
DLx(R) Dashboard is the latest in a series of web-based, enterprise logistics solutions from RedPrairie, including real-time, end-to-end supply chain visibility and event management, online performance measurement, and command and control applications that extend brand protection across the supply chain. These solutions improve management control and the flow of information and materials across the network to increase supply chain velocity, reduce operating and inventory costs, and improve customer service.
