Warehouse management system offers raw materials visibility throughout processing

RedPrairie Corporation , a consumer-driven optimization company, announced yesterday that its warehouse management solution (WMS) offers complete raw material controls throughout production and finished goods, resulting in reduced waste and improved customer confidence for consumer packaged goods (CPG), food and beverage companies.
