BJ’s Wholesale Club selects RedPrairie system
BJ’s Wholesale Club Inc plans to use RedPrairie Corporation’s Transportation Management System to streamline its transportation operations and reduce costs.
Rapidly deployable, RedPrairie’s Transportation Management System enables wholesale clubs and retailers to improve operational efficiencies by automating transportation tasks and optimizing the planning of shipments. BJ’s Wholesale Club will be able to monitor carrier performance and shipment activities better throughout the supply chain.
“We look forward to a continued effort with RedPrairie to improve the management of our transportation,” said Trevor LaChapelle, vice-president, manager of global transportation at BJ’s Wholesale Club. “Their TMS offers us a scalable and flexible solution to support our ongoing needs.”
BJ’s Wholesale Club operates more than 190 clubs in 15 states from Maine to Florida. It provides members with merchandise at prices lower than supermarkets, supercenters, department stores, drug stores, and specialty stores.
Jeff Desroches, senior vice-president, director of logistics for BJ’s Wholesale Club, said, “To provide BJ’s members with top-quality brand-name merchandise at the best possible prices, our supply chain must remain efficient. As part of our overall supply chain strategy, RedPrairie’s Transportation Management System allows us to make better decisions to manage our costs.”
Installed at more than 60,000 customer sites in more than 50 nations, RedPrairie systems adapt to help ensure visibility and collaboration among manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and consumers. The firm is prepared to meet current and future demands with multiple delivery options, flexible architecture, and 24/7 technical and customer support.
