RedPrairie Corporation says that the completed validation of its retail and supply chain solutions on the IBM Store Integration Framework initiative will save customers money by reducing the cost of deployment, give them easier integration with other products and a fully supported standard implementation platform from IBM.

The Ready for IBM Retail Store Innovations-Store Integration Framework initiative brings together platform-independent software vendors that deliver proven solutions designed and built for the retail industry. Through this initiative, IBM worked with RedPrairie to validate solutions that meet a rigorous assessment of next-generation, open-standards-based store environments.

RedPrairie says its suite of retail applications streamline, synchronize and optimize retail operations from the store shelf back through the network of suppliers, creating increased store profitability, more efficient supply networks and better synchronization between headquarters, stores and supply chain operations.
