MILWAUKEE, Wis. March 2, 2010 - RedPrairie Holding Inc., a productivity solutions provider, announced today that Duane Reade, a large drugstore chain in metropolitan New York, has rolled out RedPrairie’s Site ManagerT - an enhanced user interface for RedPrairie’s Workforce Management solution - at its more than 250 stores.

On January 18, 2010 in New York City, Duane Reade sponsored an event with their entire store operations team - over 275 employees, from store managers to senior administrators - that included a short training session illustrating the solution’s capabilities.

“When we first saw the new user interface at RedPrairie’s user group meeting, we recognized it could provide immediate benefits to our managers, and be implemented very quickly,” says Chuck Newsom, Duane Reade SVP Store Operations. “We asked RedPrairie’s development and services teams to work with us to implement the new Site ManagerT as soon as possible. We feel the feedback and adoption from our managers and users has been excellent, with administration time reduced by as much as 50%.”

Duane Reade has already realized significant benefits attributed to RedPrairie’s Workforce Management solution, and wanted to find ways to improve productivity for all store-level users. The company felt the new interface’s action-oriented navigation and extendible framework would improve efficiency in daily workforce management operations, enabling managers to spend more time with customers and associates.

“Store and hospitality managers usually think in terms of actions that have to be fixed or addressed - not necessarily about how to use a specific software application,” says Jon Lawrence, RedPrairie VP Product Strategy. “We developed our new interface to simplify the user experience and help our customers find more time to spend with their customers. We’re very pleased to have a partner like Duane Reade as the first to take advantage of our solution.”

WASHINGTON - (Business Wire) The National Retail Federation expressed disappointment at the Senate’s early morning vote today on health care reform legislation, and said the vote would be included in its annual ranking of key issues important to the retail industry.

“Sixty members of the U.S. Senate have placed lumps of coal in retailers’ stockings for Christmas,” NRF Vice President and Employee Benefits Policy Counsel Neil Trautwein said. “This vote and others leading up to the expected final passage on Christmas Eve will long be remembered but not at all in the fond manner Senate supporters would like. To say we are disappointed would be a great understatement. This bill takes the wrong direction on health reform and is now larded with the worst health care pork imaginable.” more
