Decide With the Full Picture
Every trailer move, dock assignment, and labor shift reflects what's actually happening in the warehouse, the yard, and on the road.
Manhattan's supply chain management software runs in real time. One platform connects warehouse, labor, yard, automation, and transportation, so retailers, grocers, wholesalers, manufacturers, and distributors can move inventory faster and adapt as conditions change. It works the same whether you're launching a single warehouse or a global supply chain network.
Our Challenges
Inventory performance, operational efficiency, and workforce agility all depend on decisions that reflect what's happening across the whole operation. When a warehouse supervisor, a labor planner, and a transportation manager each work from a different picture of the same shift, a decision that's right for one system becomes wrong for the operation. Give every team the same real-time picture, and those decisions start pulling in the same direction.
Every trailer move, dock assignment, and labor shift reflects what's actually happening in the warehouse, the yard, and on the road.
Labor, inventory, and delivery plans stay aligned as conditions change, so a decision in one part of the operation carries the context of what's happening in the rest of it.
A decision made in the warehouse reaches transportation and yard planning immediately, because every system operates from the same real-time state of the operation.
You're here to run your warehouse and your transportation more efficiently, and AI is one of the ways ActivePlatform™ does that.
Keep each shift on pace with AI and machine learning that monitor warehouse conditions in real time, optimize pick paths and task priorities, and align work with available labor and equipment.
Continuous optimization that adjusts transportation plans automatically in real time, and solves up to 10x faster.
AI that integrates robotics and automated equipment into the same real-time picture as the rest of the floor, routing work and staffing around what the equipment is actually doing.
Two product families cover the warehouse and the transportation network. ActiveWarehouse handles warehouse, labor, and yard management. ActiveTransportation handles transportation management, dispatch, and modeling.
To keep pace with its growth, BESTSELLER needed a modern Warehouse Management System (WMS) capable of unifying processes across regions and accelerating global expansion.

Making the Impossible Possible
Unified Business Planning brings planning and execution together in one connected platform, helping businesses respond to change with greater agility and precision.
Supply Chain Execution
Most companies start with one. Warehouse management (WMS) runs what happens inside your distribution center, and transportation management (TMS) plans and dispatches shipments once they leave it. Many customers run both together to remove the handoff between them, and each also works on its own.
Both. The same platform runs a single distribution center or a global network. You turn on the parts your operation needs and add more as it grows.
It depends on the size and complexity of your operation. Talk with Manhattan to scope a timeline for your team.
Manhattan's platform is built to connect to the ERP systems, supplier management, procurement, and purchase order platforms you already run.
It's built into the same platform your warehouse and transportation operations already run on, so there's no separate tool to manage. In practice, it handles the small, constant logistics adjustments, like a labor shortfall or a delayed shipment, in the background, so your team spends less time firefighting.
Yes, Manhattan offers packaging built for growing operations that don't need full enterprise scale yet.
When both run on the same platform as part of one digital supply chain, a delay, shortage, or bottleneck surfaces immediately, giving your team a real-time picture of risk while there's still time to act.
Retailers, grocery chains, consumer goods companies, pharmaceutical distributors, and manufacturers of every size, from single-site operations to global networks.
Supply chain management software is the broad category: planning, sourcing, procurement, inventory management, order management, and execution all fall under it. Manhattan focuses on the execution layer (warehouse, labor, yard, and transportation, running in real time) with the supply chain visibility a connected operation depends on. It connects to the ERP (enterprise resource planning), supply chain planning, and procurement systems you already use, so your existing sourcing, planning, and logistics tools stay in place while Manhattan runs what happens on the ground.
