ProActive

Adapt the Platform Without Starting a Custom Software Project

A new data field, an extra approval step, or a new screen shouldn’t mean starting a separate application project. With Manhattan ProActive™, developers build those changes directly into Manhattan Active®, so the operation gets what it needs without waiting on a custom build.

Configure

Use the Right Path for Each Change

Use Manhattan Active configuration for routine business-rule changes, then use ProActive visual tools for new data attributes, workflows, and screens.

Customize

Use Custom Code When Deeper Control Is Needed

Professional developers can use custom code, REST APIs, and familiar development tools for extensions that go beyond the visual layer.

Extensions

Manage Extensions Inside the Platform

Package, migrate, and monitor extensions through the development lifecycle in one dashboard.

Features

Manhattan ProActive™ gives teams one low-code environment to extend business logic, data, workflows, APIs, and user interfaces while keeping each extension connected to Manhattan Active®.

Extend the Parts of Manhattan Active Your Operation Needs

Use visual tools and APIs to change business logic, data, workflows, and user interfaces, or connect outside systems directly.

Use visual tools to customize business logic, workflows, data attributes, and desktop or mobile screens for Manhattan Active solutions without hand coding for every change.

Connect Manhattan Active solutions with external, third-party, or home-grown applications through REST APIs when deeper integration is needed.

Extensions work with the same operational data used by Manhattan Active applications, so custom workflows stay connected to the platform rather than creating a separate data layer.

Extensions created with Manhattan ProActive™ are available to AI agents in Manhattan Agent Foundry™, enabling agents to access data and control the processes your development team exposes. Agents handle routine process work while people retain judgment and decision-making authority.

Build Faster With Guidance, Automation, and Visual Tools

Documentation, AI assistance, visual interfaces, and lifecycle tools give developers several ways to move from an idea to a managed extension.

Extensibility guidance, API documentation, data dictionaries, samples, and templates help developers understand the platform before they start changing it.

ProActive™ uses AI-assisted development capabilities such as code generation, extension summaries, and technical documentation to reduce repetitive manual coding.

A drag-and-drop interface, service extension configurator, and user interface designer provide a visual development environment for common supply chain and commerce extensions.

An extension management dashboard supports the development lifecycle from packaging and migration through monitoring, giving teams one place to manage multiple extensions.

Build, Package, and Manage Extensions in One Place

Use documentation, APIs, visual modeling, reusable components, and lifecycle tools across the full extension process.

Documentation, guides, samples, and best practices give developers a clearer starting point for an extension or integration.

Documented APIs expose Manhattan Active functions developers can call from extensions and integrations.

Extension points let teams connect custom services to standard workflows, helping automate workflows around the way the operation actually runs.

Visual workflows and other development tools help teams create extensions across business logic, data, APIs, workflows, and user interfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Manhattan ProActive™ is Manhattan’s low-code platform for extending Manhattan Active® solutions. Professional developers can use visual tools for common changes and custom code and APIs for deeper work.

Not always. Configuration and visual builders can handle many common changes, such as a new data attribute, workflow, or screen. Traditional coding remains available when an extension needs more control, so teams can choose between visual development and custom code based on the job.

Yes. Developers can use REST APIs and their normal IDE for work that goes beyond the visual layer. ProActive adds a faster visual path for many extensions without removing traditional development.

That is one of the main governance questions for any low-code application development program. ProActive keeps extension work inside the Manhattan Active environment, where teams can manage and monitor it centrally.

Rapid application development, or RAD, is an iterative approach that uses prototypes and short development cycles to refine requirements quickly. ProActive’s visual tools and reusable components can support that style of work.

Yes. ProActive includes AI-assisted development capabilities such as code generation and extension summaries. Extensions can also be used with Agent Foundry so AI agents can call the capabilities a development team exposes.

Yes. Templates, samples, reusable components, and visual modeling can reduce how much a team builds from scratch and make common patterns easier to repeat across extensions.

Manhattan Developer Hub covers the fundamentals, with API documentation, tutorials, how-to guides, best practices, and coding samples. ProActive U, Manhattan’s training course, teaches how to build and deploy extensions with ProActive.

ProActive runs within Manhattan Active’s cloud services. The platform approach is designed to keep extensions aligned with the same scalability and security environment as the rest of Manhattan Active.
