A Sheetz petroleum/convenience store

Sheetz, a US petroleum store chain, plans to implement RedPrairie’s execution management solution. The development has arisen following the completion of a RedPrairie site operations rollout in more than 350 of Sheetz’s petroleum/convenience stores.

Built using the Microsoft .NET technology platform, as well as using other Microsoft software such as SQL server, RedPrairie execution management is a solution that directs the preparation for and implementation of complex tasks between a company’s headquarters and store management. By automating task planning, event scheduling, and interpersonal communication, the solution will help Sheetz execute new product releases and promotions more effectively.

“We selected RedPrairie to help streamline communication and track execution at the store level,” said Sheetz IT director, Jim Wenner. “RedPrairie’s execution management will provide direction to our stores from a single source, and convey objectives clearly and succinctly. This will ensure events and promotions are carried out in an efficient and uniform fashion.”

In addition to implementing automated planning, scheduling and execution of complex tasks, RedPrairie’s execution management solution will determine and direct best practices among store employees, improving workforce efficiency across the board.

It is a remarkable compliment to their recent RedPrairie site operations deployment.”
