BJ's Streamlines Transportation, Lowers Costs with RedPrairie
BJ's Wholesale Club will use transportation management technology from RedPrairie to streamline its transportation operations and reduce costs. Using RedPrairie's Transportation Management System, BJ's will be able to better monitor carrier performance and shipment activities throughout the supply chain.
"We look forward to a continued effort with RedPrairie to improve the management of our transportation," says Trevor LaChapelle, vice president and manager of Global Transportation at BJ's. "Their TMS offers us a scalable and flexible solution to support our on-going needs."
BJ's operates more than 190 clubs in 15 states from Maine to Florida. It provides members with merchandise at prices significantly lower than supermarkets, supercenters, department stores, drug stores and specialty stores.
"BJ's Wholesale Club is all about value," comments Jeff Desroches, senior vice president and director of Logistics for BJ's. "To provide BJ's members with top-quality brand-name merchandise at the best possible prices, our supply chain must remain efficient. As part of our overall supply chain strategy, RedPrairie's Transportation Management System allows us to make better decisions to manage our costs."
