A History of Optimizing Supply Chains

Since 1990, Manhattan Associates has helped customers use technology to identify the weak links in their supply chains, reconfigure their processes and optimize their performance.

Shortly after we started in 1990 in Manhattan Beach, California, we gained a reputation for providing world-class warehouse management solutions. We have continually expanded our products and added capabilities to better serve our customers. Today we offer a holistic approach to supply chain with SCOPE: Supply Chain Optimization—Planning through Execution, which brings together all the tools you need to integrate, upgrade and optimize your supply chain.

Throughout the years we've grown to meet the needs of our more than 1,200 global customers by employing 2,000 people in 10 offices on four continents. In 2006 alone, we added 400 employees to help us initiate 260 implementations. Our investment in research and development continues to exceed any other company's, and has increased 250% in the last five years, to a 2007 total of $45 million.
