Manhattan Associates Redefines Warehouse Management for a Connected Commerce WorldATLANTA, May 22, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Manhattan Associates Inc. (NASDAQ:MANH) today announced significant improvements to its market leading Warehouse Management Solution (WMS) to help retailers, distributors and logistics companies remaster the art of fulfillment by improving order flexibility, maximizing asset utilization and expanding mobile workflows. Leading brands that formerly relied on retail partners to distribute their products are racing to improve their revenues, margins and customer relationships by expanding their direct-to-consumer (DTC) business. According to Forbes, the number of manufacturers selling directly to consumers is expected to grow 71% this year. However, traditional warehouses have not been designed to handle small DTC orders. Manhattan Associates now has improved its market-leading WMS solution for today’s connected commerce world. The updated solutions provide unprecedented order intelligence and optimization, unmatched orchestration of man and machine and unrivaled workforce agility and efficiency. “The need for improved speed, efficiency, visibility and accountability are reverberating throughout the supply chain and are influencing warehouse operations,” said Eddie Capel, president and CEO of Manhattan Associates. “Manhattan is proud to enhance our market-leading Warehouse Management solutions with new intelligent optimization, asset orchestration and workforce agility tools that address these changing needs.” Order Streaming Manhattan has enhanced its Order Streaming capabilities to produce a single, intelligent fulfillment optimization engine capable of simultaneously processing wave, waveless and flow-through orders in a single facility. Order Streaming dynamically manages different fulfillment methods with reduced order processing times, increased accuracy and higher service levels, using machine learning to orchestrate activities between workforce and automation assets. Warehouse Execution System “The use of robotic and automation technologies in the warehouse clearly adds value but does not preclude the need for thoughtful and efficient workflows,” said Capel. “By embedding WES capabilities into our WMS, Manhattan is leveraging the industry’s preeminent warehouse intelligence to orchestrate and maximize the performance of every resource.” Unified Distribution Control Receive up-to-date product, customer and partner news directly from Manhattan Associates on Twitter and Facebook.
