SDV expects that Manhattan Associates' solutions will support logistics and flow-through processes in approximately 70 warehouses and that the solutions will be implemented for SDV customers operating in virtually every business sector and in many different geographies around the world.
SDV's decision to partner with Manhattan was based on its firm belief that Manhattan's technology and its global presence could help it deliver consistency across its operations at a process and technological level, no matter what geography or geographies a client happened to be operating in. Didier Julien, supply chain director at SDV, said, "Historically we had relied on a range of disparate tools to support our customers' supply chains however we really needed a single, standard integrated set of advanced solution components that could be used across all of our business sectors and in all the countries in which our customers operate."
"At the start of the tender process, we conducted a benchmark exercise to create a short-list of major market players. As the global leader in warehouse management solutions, the inclusion of Manhattan Associates wasn't surprising. Then we asked each vendor to demonstrate the ability of its solution components to meet the specific needs of a hypothetical customer. Manhattan Associates was the only one that comprehensively passed the test. The decision to select Manhattan was a unanimous one and we were particularly impressed by the quality and flexibility of its WMS and EEM solution components."
SDV's first implementation of Manhattan's Warehouse Management solution is scheduled to take place in the next few months in Asia whilst the first implementation of Extended Enterprise Management is expected to be completed by the middle of next year.
