Reddwerks Acquires SeayCo, Provider of Advanced WCS and Sortation Software

AUSTIN, Texas – July 20, 2009 – Reddwerks Corporation, a leading provider of warehouse performance management (WPM) software and solutions, today announced the completion of its acquisition of SeayCo, an 18-year-old Atlanta, GA based developer of advanced warehouse control systems (WCS) and sortation software with over 200 customer sites in the US and Canada. The acquisition of SeayCo will greatly accelerate the Reddwerks WPM software product roadmap and extend its reach to complex conveyors and sorters found in large-scale distribution facilities.

“We are major users of Reddwerks and SeayCo software and look forward to seeing SeayCo’s advanced WCS and sortation functionality being integrated into Reddwerks’ state-of-the-art WPM software,” said Mr. Cortney Hunt, Director of Corporate Logistics at McLane Company, Inc. “We especially look forward to seeing this functionality combined with Reddwerks’ real-time reporting engine allowing us to view the productivity of our facilities across all our people and systems.”

“Reddwerks’ leading-edge WPM software represents the next step in the technological evolution of conveyor controls and sortation, and I am excited to offer users a combined Reddwerks/SeayCo solution for unmatched end-to-end order processing in the warehouse,” said Mr. Tim Krisher, Founder and President of SeayCo who was named VP and Solution Architect at Reddwerks. Mr. Krisher will play a key role in the design and sale of the advanced WCS functionality being embedded in the Reddwerks WPM software.

“Distribution facilities no longer have to solve today’s production issues using tomorrow’s batch reports,” said Mr. Jean Bélanger, Reddwerks Founder and CEO. “With the market’s most sophisticated real-time warehouse business intelligence and reporting engine delivering key metrics across job functions and equipment performance, Reddwerks WPM software maximizes throughput and accuracy with the lowest possible operating expenses.”

Whether it is consumers ordering products online, or retailers stocking their store shelves, Reddwerks WPM software coordinates all the tasks to process these orders in large-scale distribution centers. These facilities range in size from 10,000 to more than 1,000,000 square feet with hundreds of workers and vast arrays of material handling equipment such as conveyors and sorters. Reddwerks WPM simplifies interaction with supply chain management (SCM) and warehouse management system (WMS) software by providing a single interface for all labor and equipment deployed in large-scale distribution facilities. Regardless of the SCM or WMS software installed at a facility, Reddwerks WPM increases productivity to such an extent that clients typically realize a payback in less than one year. Reddwerks WPM software provides flexible and real-time labor management, order planning, profiling, cubing, picking, quality control, packing, stocking, palletizing, and shipping workflows combined with powerful real-time analytics, metrics, and dashboard reports.

A key advantage of Reddwerks WPM software is that any material handling equipment type, whether human or machine directed, can be interchanged within a workflow. In addition, Reddwerks WPM software provides the market’s only real-time business intelligence engine delivering hundreds of metrics across each job function into a built-in data warehouse for reporting and analysis. The result couples automation with real-time control and transparency for your equipment, labor, facility throughput, and order quality that unlocks the full potential of the distribution facility.

Reddwerks’ 24×7 support center, online portal and expert teams will be available for both Reddwerks and SeayCo support clients. In addition to Mr. Krisher, the company will retain key SeayCo customer support and development resources to ensure continued success with the SeayCo product line and services teams. The combined R&D team will continue Reddwerks’ focus on improving the highly successful and market-proven WPM software with the 4.0 version scheduled for completion in the first half of 2010. This upcoming release, as well as a now 250-site strong install base, puts Reddwerks in a leading position to continue defining the new and expanding WPM market.
