Manhattan SCOPE^® for Emergency Management

The key difference that sets the emergency management (EM) supply chain apart is volatility. Especially in the case of "no notice" events — incidents that occur without warning, such as tornadoes, floods, earthquakes and terrorist attacks — logistics decisions often need to be made on-the-fly based on information that may not be reliable. Yet, with the right tools, emergency management organizations can reign in volatility. With capabilities that gauge demand, facilitate complex collaboration, optimize distribution and track deliveries, your organization can effectively manage the EM supply chain — getting the right people, the products and the information they need, when they need it.

This is our mission at Manhattan Associates. Our clients include some of the key players in the EM arena, both in the public and private sectors; this experience has allowed us to gain a deep knowledge of what's needed to make emergency management logistics successful.

One-Stop Solution for Emergency Management Needs

EM agencies need a proven solution to address these needs — particularly real-time visibility; limited reliance on phone calls, emails and faxes; improved service and lower costs. Only Manhattan SCOPE for EM is equipped to manage the volatility of the emergency management supply chain, providing an unparalleled approach to visibility, management and optimization.

In a fragmented marketplace, Manhattan Associates pulls the pieces together

In the marketplace for EM supply chain solutions, it's common to find custom-built products that are tailored after a particular organization's operational model and marketed to others. In contrast, Manhattan SCOPE for EM offers two key features unparalleled in the market: comprehensive capabilities for end-to-end supply chain visibility, management and optimization; and a well-funded research and development backbone to continuously improve capabilities, leverage best practices and remain on the cutting edge of technology.

SCOPE links all aspects of the supply chain to increase accountability, automate processes and improve efficiencies. By taking a holistic approach to complex supply chains, Manhattan meets the demands of mission-critical organizations to go beyond providing point solutions that improve the performance of one aspect of the supply chain—often with unexpected consequences elsewhere. Only SCOPE provides a full range approach—from planning through execution—to optimize every link of the EM supply chain for an improved total outcome.
