Michaels selects warehouse, workforce management solution

Michaels Stores has gone live with RedPrairie’s warehouse management and workforce management solutions in three of its distribution facilities.

Michaels will use both solutions to help create new efficiencies in distributing over 37,000 different items to over 1,000 stores in the United States and Canada.

RedPrairie’s solutions support Michaels facilities in Alliance, Texas; Centralia, Wash.; and Jacksonville, Fla., with plans to expand support to distribution centers in California, Illinois and Pennsylvania.

Both the warehouse and workforce-management implementations were upgrades from a prior version.
