Manhattan redefines supply chain planning

Market leader lives up to its vision and unifies supply chain planning and execution

Manhattan Associates announces Manhattan Active® Supply Chain Planning (SCP), the industry's first unified business planning platform that enables bidirectional collaboration between supply chain planning and execution systems. This breakthrough solution enables planners to evaluate all operational factors in real time and align all systems, inventory and resources toward a common goal, such as reducing overall costs or increasing speed-to-market.

In traditional supply chain planning, inventory, labor, transportation and warehouse activities are planned and optimized separately. This approach creates fragmented strategies that often conflict with each other and receive no feedback from the executive team.

Manhattan Active Supply Chain Planning is the first and only solution unified with supply chain execution to eliminate systemic and operational silos. This enables enterprise-wide optimization for the entire inventory range and all resources. From inventory and labor to distribution and transportation, all elements are synchronized and harmonized in real time, seamlessly unified in a single plan.

"The ability to coordinate the supply chain with solutions such as order management, warehouse management and transportation management systems is a gamechanger. Now inventory, labor and transportation planning can be viewed together to ensure optimal results that benefit the entire organization," said Scott Fenwick, senior director of product management at Manhattan Associates. "In addition, it takes all of these factors into account to keep operations running smoothly and provide an exceptional experience at low cost."

Manhattan Active Supply Chain Planning leverages the power of artificial intelligence to combine external data sources with internal patterns, allowing it to produce more accurate and actionable demand forecasts. This innovative solution can ingest and quickly process large amounts of syndicated data from external sources, such as influencer activity, industry-specific data sources and localized data, all data that can influence and shape demand.

Manhattan Active Supply Chain Planning completes the company's vision of a truly unified ecosystem for supply chain commerce. Manhattan, through its platform architecture, is able to deliver this solution fully composited. All Manhattan Active solutions are cloud-native, microservice API applications, designed to be scalable and sustainable, with fixed updates every 90 days. Built on the proven Manhattan Active Platform, Manhattan Active SCP is the most modern, scalable and customizable supply chain planning solution on the market.
