•Following a comprehensive review of the market, Infor SCE was chosen because of its proven track record in accelerating warehouse operations and improving quality. SPAN was chosen to implement the software because of its deep domain expertise within the Middle East warehouse management market.

•Infor SCE has enabled automated goods inwards processes, cross-docking, automated picking and packing and more accurate price tagging in the warehouse.

•Combined with the automation of the distribution center, SCE has helped RedTag achieve a significant increase in throughput without increasing headcount and has cut down the time of replenishment from the warehouse to the stores.
