Partnership integrates freight & warehouse management

The fully integrated solution picks goods for dispatch before using warehouse management and control (WMC) data to generate carrier compliant shipping labels that are low-cost, based on a pay-as-you-go business model. The freight system is carrier-agnostic, selecting the best supplier based purely on time or cost – and is recognised by carriers worldwide.

Other benefits for supply chain users include a single-platform tracking portal that publishes carrier tracking events to provide the user with a clear view of all freight throughout its journey, plus reporting and analysis tools that eliminate courier errors to cut costs by up to 15%, says Red Ledge. A proof-of-delivery solution is also available.

“This is a supply chain market first, providing a new level of integration that will speed business processes, improve customer service and cut shipping costs” says Red Ledge director Alan Wilcockson.

The Red Ledge Warehouse Management & Control system has been designed using the latest Red Ledge CORE systems development tool and is one of a family of asset management, manufacturing and WMC systems that can be plugged together or deployed standalone.

Red Ledge is a globally recognised specialist in RFID, barcode, voice and sensor technologies for the IIoT age. The company is currently growing at 40% per annum and recently opened a new US operation.
