We have built a strong, solutions-driven, global logistics team focused on execution. The partnership we now have with RedPrairie is the next step in the deployment of our strategy. RedPrairie has already established itself as a market leader. The suite of solutions we can now access coupled with our existing logistics tool set gives us a clear distinctive competence to offer the best possible solutions for our customers.”

Leveraging RedPrairie as a global standardized platform allows Panalpina to flexibly deploy supply chain applications to meet a wide range of customer-specific needs across all industries.
