Sheetz Rolls Out RedPrairie Site Operations in 350 Stores

MILWAUKEE -- RedPrairie Corporation, a consumer-driven optimization company, has announced that Sheetz has completed its roll out of RedPrairie Site Operations to direct activities in more than 350 outlets. The solution has been very instrumental in helping the company gain a single, chain-wide window into all aspects of site operations, including cash management, invoicing, and food service and inventory management.

Jim Wenner, Sheetz IT Director, says, “The RedPrairie system has allowed us to improve how we manage our store and food service operations. We are now able to pinpoint issues at the corporate, store or item level.”

RedPrairie Site Operations impacts virtually all site-based operations-related functions including inventory management, cash management, task management and food service management.

“Anyone that has been in a Sheetz store and experienced their Made-to-Order™ food knows that Sheetz is much more than a convenience store,” says RedPrairie CEO Mike Mayoras, “I am confident our Site Operations solution has and will continue to improve their bottom line, increase efficiency in their business across the board, and improve their customers’ experience.”

RedPrairie’s E2e™ 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.
