Wincanton standardises pan-European operations on Manhattan Associates

The project plan will focus initially on the deployment of Manhattan Associates' Warehouse Management for Open Systems solution across 15 sites in the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and the UK.

Future roll-out plans include Labour Management, Slotting Optimisation and Extended Enterprise Management, Manhattan's collaborative commerce solution.

Wincanton chose Manhattan Associates after a thorough review of the market that initially spanned 22 different vendors. The Company evaluated the merits of each vendor with a specific focus on functional fit, technical architecture and corporate vision. Wincanton was also looking for support capabilities in the areas of technical back-up and implementation team strength and for vendors with a proven track record of operating in the specified European markets.
