Blue Yonder Luminate Logistics vs. Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud

The size and scope of the operation is the main question. In a smaller environment, or one that does not require a complex Warehouse Management Solution (WMS), RedPrairie may not be a good fit.

Easy to implement, easy to operate, it must expand its portfolio options to be able to operate all the logistics processes of the warehouses.

• Cycle counting--great feature for inventory accuracy.
• System directed put-away--system directs driver where to store and put materials away, keeps a warehouse in tip-top shape.
• CNZ-Count near Zero, actually set at count at zero, when a bayrow emtys out, prompts fork driver to verify that the bayrow is actually empty by doing a cycle count....great for inventory accuracy!

• Manage a lot of information - we manage 600+ stores of various sizes with millions of products across them to manage. Oracle Warehouse Management cloud is able to handle all our data.
• It has a lot of parametrization inside - when we add a new store, we are able to do so easily, no matter its size.
• It's flexible - adding new information, stores, or changing information is easy to do.
• It's scalable - again, as we add or change stores, we are able to do so with this software.

• Their implementation team was unable to provide examples where they successfully executed large scale multi site global deployments. May require strong client team or 3rd party implementation firm to ensure successful deployment and results.
• As of 3 years ago, their parcel shipping module was very new and unproven in marketplace.
• As of 3 years ago, Red Prairie had limited offering in modules that complement the WMS such as trading partner management and distributed order management. If you truly just need warehouse management capabilities this might not matter. For us, this meant we would need to involve more solution providers or internal development to address supply chain initiatives.

• We can enter manual entries into Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud and all manual entries do not have proper control.
• It performs slow when it must extract the data in large amounts.
• Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud doesn’t maintain sales return entries because it’s not an order management system. In order to use this feature, we need to configure or deploy another solution, which is Order Management System. We cannot consider it as a demerit of Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud but for a single feature, we cannot deploy another module. .

Again, the product was good. Customer service was OK at best. For any new installations or upgrades, I would seek a third party servicer/installer who would be more flexible in contract negotiations and provide service guarantees beyond what could expected with RedPrairie itself. If you choose to deal with RedPrairie directly, prepare for a lengthy negotiation process.

I found RedPraire to be the best system I have used of the years.

Because is slow, they don't know much and take a lot of time to resolve something.

RedPrarie seems to have been better than Aloha. I will say that I used Aloha a very long time ago and it is probably light years ahead now. Aloha seemed to be a little more flexible in what you could do. The major downfall was you had a system that needed to be connected to the POS network directly on site that would be used only for reporting. This would require you to have another PC for computing needs. Like I said before, this is probably something that has changed in the newer world of Aloha.

We are using these services in our warehouses for managing all our inventory and warehouses for almost 11 years now. With the help of this tool, we were able to track our inventory status more accurately and get a timely update if the inventory is low. It is highly flexible you can easily add new product information or change some information. The interface is very easy to use
