Manhattan Unified Supply Chain supports global distribution and transportation transformation of Schneider Electric

 Schneider Electric, which provides energy management and industrial automation services worldwide, uses Manhattan Active® Warehouse Management and Manhattan Active® Transportation Management to boost its global distribution and transportation network. This announcement is part of a company-wide transformation strategy.

Manhattan Active® Supply Chain (a combination of Manhattan Active WM and Manhattan Active TM) is being implemented in more than twenty distribution centers. In addition, Schneider Electric plans to deploy Manhattan Active TM in more than two hundred operational locations. Bringing the warehouse and transportation together with Manhattan Active Supply Chain will provide the company with maximum inventory performance, operational efficiency and workforce flexibility.

Stuart Michael Whiting, senior vice president, GSC Logistics and Planning at Schneider Electric: "After twelve successful years with a Manhattan warehouse management system, we decided to upgrade to Manhattan Active Warehouse Management and expand it with Manhattan Active Transportation Management. Adopting these two cloud-native solutions represents a significant step forward for our supply chain execution, as well as another step in our transformation journey."

Henri Seroux, senior vice president EMEA at Manhattan Associates added, "Over the past decade, Manhattan has proven to be a valuable and capable WMS partner for Schneider Electric. By upgrading to Manhattan's unified supply chain solution, Schneider gains centralized control over distribution, transportation, labor and automation. This provides significant gains in efficiency, productivity and flexibility."

"Manhattan's unified supply chain solution will help us optimize inbound and outbound planning and execution and give us an unprecedented level of visibility and control over our global network of distribution centers and transportation operations," Whiting said.
