RedPrairie Corp. today announced that it has acquired SmartTurn, a provider of on-demand inventory control and warehouse management systems to small and medium-sized businesses, for an undisclosed sum.
RedPrairie will add SmartTurn’s multi-tenant, software-as-a-service (SaaS) product to the E2e productivity suite and rename it RedPrairie On-Demand WMS. Over time, the product will be integrated with RedPrairie’s offerings. SmartTurn CEO Jim Burleigh will continue to lead SmartTurn, now dubbed the On-Demand WMS group, within the RedPrairie organization.
The acquisition adds 16 people to RedPrairie’s 1,100-person staff.
SmartTurn designed its software, which is running at more than 200 facilities, to give small operations a low-cost way to gain real-time visibility into their logistics operations. The SaaS software provides capabilities for purchasing, picking, receiving and put-away, inventory control, order management, shipping, integration, and mobile computing. Under its pay-as-you-go model, customers pay a fixed monthly cost of $1,200 per site with unlimited users. Executives said in an interview today that the pricing model won’t change.
