Manhattan Associates has been in the business of helping retailers, wholesalers and 3PL companies with Warehouse Management solutions since 1990. Over the last 30 years, Manhattan has deployed solutions from its portfolio based on the best fit for the customer’s requirements. The Manhattan Active Warehouse Management solution is 100% cloud-native, built on Microservices, flexible, extensible, and versionless. Upgrades are now a thing of the past. Included with the solution subscription are all the supporting infrastructure, system management, and upgrades to the latest innovations as they happen.

Manhattan Active Warehouse Management Solution is a portfolio of distribution management and transportation management software systems, built on a common Microsoft-based platform (Microsoft .NET technology) and designed to be rapidly implemented and deployed to meet the needs of industries such as manufacturers, wholesalers, food and beverage distributors and consumer packaged goods companies.

This software solution is a direct result of Manhattan’s investment in supply chain and logistics technology, as well as its experience working with architects from the world’s leading distribution networks. Manhattan Active Warehouse Management Solution enables companies to rapidly adapt to changing operational needs while quickly achieving return on investment. Currently, the Manhattan Active Warehouse Management Solution is deployed at more than 1,300 companies worldwide, with many of its customers achieving a return on investment in under a year.

While there are numerous supply chain software solutions on the market, a key point of difference for the Manhattan Active Warehouse Management Solution is that it provides a bundled set of supply chain solutions integrated onto a single platform, making deployment, management, and upgrade easy. This bundled set of supply chain solutions can be sold individually or together, depending on the organisation and their warehouse structure.

Five functional elements make up the entire Manhattan Active Warehouse Management Solution portfolio, including:

• Execution – Yard Management, Cross-docking, Return, Inbound sortation, Flow through and Receiving
• Inventory Management – Putaway, cycle count, Lot management, inventory control, work orders and Consolidation.

• Fulfilment – Pick/Pack, Quality Audit, Value-added services, Shipping scheduling and Item substitution.
• Shipping – Shipping documentation, directed loading, routing, yard management and parcel shipping.

Manhattan Active Warehouse Management Solution can be implemented in any organisation that manages its own warehouse and distribution centre. In Australia, the solution has been implemented in leading retailers, manufacturers, health care, mining, consumer goods and third-party logistics organisations.
