Schneider Electric rolling out WMS and TMS solutions from Manhattan Associates at scale

Supply chain software provider Manhattan Associates has announced that Schneider Electric, an energy management and industrial automation company, has chosen Manhattan Active Warehouse Management and Manhattan Active Transportation Management for its global distribution and transportation network as part of an ongoing business-wide transformation strategy.

Manhattan Active Supply Chain, which refers to the combination of Manhattan Active WM and Manhattan Active TM, will be implemented in over 20 distribution centers, Manhattan Associates explained. Additionally,  Schneider Electric plans to deploy Manhattan Active TM across a further 200+ operational sites. Unifying both warehouse management system (WMS) software and transportation management system (TMS) functions via Manhattan Active Supply Chain will bring maximum inventory performance, operational efficiency, and workforce agility to the company, Manhattan Associates noted.

Stuart Michael Whiting, senior vice president, GSC Logistics and Planning at Schneider Electric commented: “After 12 successful years with a Manhattan WMS, we decided to update to Manhattan Active Warehouse Management and extend 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 exciting stride forward for the ongoing business-wide transformation journey.”

Henri Seroux, senior vice president, EMEA at Manhattan Associates added: “Over the last decade, Manhattan had proven itself a valuable and capable WMS partner to Schneider Electric. Upgrading to Manhattan’s unified supply chain solution will give Schneider centralized control over its distribution, transportation, labour and automation, in the process, delivering significant efficiency, productivity, and agility gains.”

“Manhattan’s unified supply chain solution will help us optimize inbound and outbound planning and execution and give us unprecedented levels of visibility and control across our entire global network of distribution centres and transport operations,” said Whiting.
