The latest release of Manhattan Associates’ (Booth 3553) Extended Enterprise Management (EEM) solution features instant visibility for third-party logistics providers (3PLs) that need to manage orders, shipments and inventory for their customers. The solution enables 3PLs to consolidate and transport inventory by managing partner-to-partner shipping and providing hubs with the ability to complete direct fulfillment.
“EEM specifically supports our 3PL customers by providing crossdocking and flow-through support that allows 3PLs to play a key role in the pop-up supply chain,” said Eddie Capel, executive vice president for product management and customer support. “This capability is seamless due to the visibility EEM provides, along with the capability to make quick decisions should an unexpected event occur anything during the movement of goods.”
Manhattan describes the pop-up supply chain as an approach that allows retailers and manufacturers to dynamically adjust transportation and inventory networks to meet changing seasons or trends. Manhattan’s EEM is designed to connect trading partners and customers to provide the overarching visibility and event management capabilities required to successfully manage inventory through global supply chains, including those with dynamic and changing demand.
Some of the enhanced features include:
A centralized, browser-based solution that allows 3PLs to automate communication with customers,End-to-end visibility of orders, shipments and inventory from sourcing to cargo delivery,A single, real-time view of the entire supply chain for greater inventory control and optimal fulfillment channels, andThe ability to track supply chain events in real time and respond based on alerts to critical exceptions.
