Milwaukee , WI – RedPrairie Corporation announced today that Ann Taylor has selected Red Prairie’s BlueCube Enterprise Workforce Management suite to bring a more disciplined approach and process to resource and labor deployment in its stores.
The agreement leverages several BlueCube Enterprise Workforce Management components, including Forecasting, Optimized Scheduling, Dashboard, Business Process Workflows, and e-Learning Courseware, as well as the system’s Metric Reporting and Analysis components.
Scott Knaul, Director of Store Operations at Ann Taylor said, “We wanted a robust tool to help our managers deploy labor more effectively in response to client traffic in our stores. We evaluated a number of providers in this area and, following a successful pilot of the BlueCube Enterprise Workforce Management suite from RedPrairie, ultimately felt that they were the right partner for us.”
Comments Kim Eaton, President RedPrairie Retail Productivity Solutions division (formerly BlueCube Software) states, “Ann Taylor is an elite brand in women’s apparel, and serves a distinctive clientele. Their unique value proposition provides the type of leadership in the retail market that we look to further support with our workforce optimization toolset. We’re proud they’ve chosen RedPrairie as a business partner.”
