Distribution Management: Control and Collaboration from Supplier to Customer

Your distribution network extends from your supplier's loading dock to your customer's front door—far beyond the walls of your warehouse. Save a step or simplify a process, and you deliver faster—which not only enhances your bottom line, but also improves service levels. When you're dealing with scores of suppliers on distant continents, third-party logistics companies, multiple distribution centers and customers around in the world, getting visibility into the full distribution process can be extremely challenging.

Manhattan Associates' Distribution Management is a complete suite of solutions to automate every link in the most complex supply chains. Distribution Management is anchored by Manhattan's proven and industry-leading warehouse management solutions. It is engineered for optimal collaboration and communication with an extensive network of suppliers and partners—but does not require any of them to make a major technology investment to do business with you.

With confidence in your ability to work closely with your network, suppliers and customers, you can fill orders even before you have received the product. You will have the information you need to motivate your suppliers, as well as your own workforce, to move products faster and more accurately—for happier customers and less happy competitors.
