Sleepy’s plans to integrate RedPrairie’s WMS, WFM, TMS and Fleet Management to provide visibility into anticipated inventory, labor and delivery service levels throughout the supply chain. This will help Sleepy’s better manage its inventory and distribution center workforce levels, and make its fleet management system more agile to rapidly meet changing customer delivery requirements. Sleepy’s also will use RedPrairie’s TMS and WMS to manage parcel deliveries of Web orders for its bedding, pillows and fabrics.

RedPrairie has built a tremendous relationship with Sleepy’s over the past nine years and looks forward to helping it to continue its impressive growth as the market leader in mattress retailing,” said RedPrairie President of Global Operations, Doug Braun. “In today’s highly competitive marketplace, superior customer service is the single most distinguishing factor in customer retention and market growth.
