Atlanta, Feb. 7, 2023 — Manhattan Associates Inc. today announced that it was named the winner in the Best Fulfillment Advancement category in the 2023 Vendors in Partnership (VIP) Awards. The award recognizes the solution most adept at solving the complex challenges of omnichannel fulfillment. The award was presented in a ceremony held in New York the week of NRF 2023, the retail industry’s largest annual conference and exposition.
Manhattan Active® Omni, a cloud native unified commerce platform for order management, store inventory and fulfillment, point of sale, customer relationship management and digital self service, offers advanced omnichannel fulfillment capabilities that both increase topline revenue opportunities and reduce bottomline costs.
Manhattan’s order management solution leverages machine learning in its dynamic promising engine to evaluate all shopping and fulfillment channels, all fulfillment options, and generate precise and dependable pickup or delivery options online and in the store without any third-party software or connections. This solution can decrease late shipments by up to 30% while increasing loyalty and cart conversions.
The company’s real-time sourcing optimization technology also leverages machine learning to select the most profitable fulfillment location that still meets the promise made to the customer. This solution reduces split shipments by up to 50% and decreases out of stock and overstock items across the fulfillment network.
In its latest update to Manhattan Active Omni, Manhattan has expanded its support for in-store RFID capabilities, enabling associates to significantly reduce time spent in inventory receiving, management and location activities by as much as 75%, so they can focus less on operational tasks and more on customer selling and engagement.
