What they say

“Our operations are complex in nature, and we needed supply chain

software that had broad functionality, flexibility, and scale. Manhattan works
with extremely recognizable and successful brands, most of which we aspire
to be. It was only natural for us to select them to run our operations.”
— Stella & Dot, U.S.

“Manhattan Associates not only occupies the number one position for
warehouse management solutions in the world, its innovative and constantly
evolving solutions offer a short-term path to success while also delivering
long-term value. They are able to operate within our limited timeframe and
implementation is currently well underway. Finally Manhattan’s technology
was compatible with Microsoft, whose technology we use in other areas of
the business so it really did tick all of our boxes.”
—Cambridge Food, South Africa

“When you’re able to double your warehouse capacity, you know that you
chose the right warehouse management software. The fact that we achieved
this with Manhattan Associates in less than a year speaks for itself.”
