New RedPrairie partnership to integrate map rendering capability
RedPrairie Corp. of the Town of Brookfield announced a partnership with Telogis, a provider of location based services and software. RedPrairie will integrate the Telogis GeoBase software into its transportation and fleet applications. The embedded solution will provide RedPrairie customers on a global basis with more robust map rendering capabilities for more efficient routing and transportation management. The capabilities will streamline driving routes and decrease time and gas-wasting practices such as left-hand turns and traffic-clogged routes. Telogis is based in Irvine, Calif. "The Telogis partnership is another step in our strategy to help our customers create more efficient routing and mapping strategies, helping them be more efficient and reduce the environmental impact of their supply chain. Together, we will help companies reduce distance traveled in their fleet, resulting in time and fuel savings and reduced CO2 emissions," said Mike Mayoras, chief executive officer for RedPrairie.
