TRUSSVILLE, Ala. -- McPherson Oil Products has selected RedPrairie Corp.'s RedPrairie Warehouse Management to support expansion and increase customer satisfaction.
McPherson Oil, a Southeast distributor of industrial lubricants and a full-service petroleum products and services company, plans to implement the RedPrairie solutions at its two regional distribution centers. It also offers FUELZ as an unbranded offering to gasoline dealers.
The company will implement the RedPrairie system at its western regional distribution center [image-nocss] in Trussville, Ala., and at its eastern regional distribution center in Atlanta beginning in the fall of 2007. In phase two of the implementation, McPherson will implement the RedPrairie solution at local warehouse locations throughout the Southeast.
The RedPrairie warehouse and enterprise solutions are expected to improve operational efficiencies and productivity, increase inventory turns and increase customer satisfaction. RedPrairie offers a 24-hours-a-day, 365 days-a-year customer support model.
Consolidation in the industry is driving significant growth opportunities for McPherson. The RedPrairie solutions will be an essential component of our strategy to respond to growth while continuing to deliver industry leading customer satisfaction programs, said president Ken McPherson.
McPherson Oil's objective is to utilize best of breed technologies to drive efficiencies and productivity in our operations. We are raising the technology standard for the operations of our company, and we believe that our investments will establish us as a technology leader in the petroleum distribution industry. While this industry has many unique characteristics, our joint experience within the direct-store delivery (DSD) and third party logistics industries will translate into real results that will benefit McPherson and our customers for many years to come, added Mike Bedford, vice president of operations for McPherson.
McPherson Oil provides its customers with a complete offering of petroleum products and services, including oil, lubricants, fuel and gasoline, used oil, equipment and engineering and environmental services.
