RedPrairie Corp, Atlanta, GA, a global supply chain and retail technology provider, has acquired Toronto-based Vortex Connect, a provider of mobile workforce management (WFM) solutions. The combination of assets – RedPrairie Enterprise Workforce Management (EWFM) and the Vortex mobility platform – creates the industry’s first single provider of mobile-enabled solutions that manage the workforce across operational disciplines including stores, warehouses and distribution centers.

The Vortex acquisition allows RedPrairie to embed RedPrairie EWFM with new capabilities such as mobile shift management and bidding, mobile communications and operations management, and employee self-service. The combination of features enables the communication of data in real-time through multichannel touch points.

RedPrairie will also leverage the acquisition to establish a Mobility Center of Excellence in Toronto. The Center of Excellence will focus on utilizing mobility effectively throughout the extended supply chain as well as the application of mobility across RedPrairie’s entire solution footprint.

“As the consumerization of technology pushes further into the business world, RedPrairie believes that the adoption of a mobile platform is increasingly vital to our customers’ success,” said RedPrairie Chief Technology Officer John Kopcke.
