SANNA-LITIER rolls out RedPrairie Warehouse Management to deliver revenue growth, competitive advantage and profit

Stokenchurch, U.K. – RedPrairie Corporation, a productivity software provider, announces that SANNA-LITIER Group, one of Russia’s fastest-growing full-service third party logistics providers, has gone live with RedPrairie’s Warehouse Management suite at its 9,505 sq.m logistics centre LITIER Domodedovo, close to one of Russia’s largest airports.

The implementation at LITIER Domodedovo is the first of seven planned at all the LITIER network A-class warehouses. As a result, SANNA-LITIER Group will manage the operations of LITIER multimodal logistics network with warehousing space of more than 500,000. sq.m. A total of 800 operatives will eventually use the solution, which is fully localised for Russia and integrated with SANNA-LITIER’s back office systems. Russian logistics expert and RedPrairie partner Avant-Garde Communications (AgCom) provided on-site support during the implementation.

SANNA-LITIER Group is already seeing the benefits of lower operating overheads with RedPrairie’s automated yard management, storage optimisation, and real-time stock taking capabilities. Paper-based putaway and picking have been replaced by hand-held RDT scanners resulting in improved operator productivity, near 100% accuracy and faster throughput. The company will be able to add new functionality from RedPrairie’s solution suite to meet the increasingly sophisticated needs of customers as its business expands.

SANNA-LITIER Group chose RedPrairie over a number of other leading vendors for its configurable applications and ability to meet the different warehousing needs of multiple clients in a single solution. “RedPrairie offered us an unrivalled combination of world-class functionality used by leading European and American logistics providers,” says Sanna Litier CEO Onik Aznauryan. “The suite will enhance our competitive edge through improved innovation and customer service.”

RedPrairie’s itemised billing capabilities ensure invoicing transparency while self-service, Web-based system access allows customers to track the status of all consignments in real time. The solution will reduce transit time, improve security and cut storage costs.

“We are delighted that SANNA-LITIER is already benefiting from our Warehouse Management solution at one site,” says RedPrairie President & International Managing Director, Martin Hiscox. “We look forward to delivering results at all SANNA-LITIER sites and helping them increase their presence across Russia.”
