Unipart and Manhattan Associates deliver solution for Pets At Home
Manhattan Associates and Unipart Logistics have successfully completed a joint project in record time, to deliver a scalable, menu-priced, e-fulfilment solution for specialty retailer Pets at Home. The innovative solution will allow Pets at Home to expand its ‘ultimate pet store experience’ beyond its 200 plus UK retail outlets for the first time.
The joint project has involved the implementation of Manhattan Associates' Warehouse Management solution (WMS) for Open Systems at Unipart Logistics' 19,000 m2 Magna Park site in Lutterworth. The site, which also serves other Unipart clients such as 3, Apple and Play.com, was chosen as the optimum location to meet the current and future demands of the Pets at Home contract. Magna Park, like all Unipart sites, operates in accordance with the Group's proprietary approach to delivering operational and customer service excellence, known as The Unipart Way. This is a philosophy of working underpinned by tools and techniques that inspire efficiency, flexibility and outstanding customer service across all working practices and has propelled Unipart to the forefront of the third party logistics sector in Europe.
