Retailer, Semir Supply Chain Case Study
Semir needed a highly intelligent supply chain technology platform to manage the short lead times that exist within the apparel industry, the increasingly discerning nature of customers, and the complexity of SKUs in its warehouses. Manhattan Associates’ Warehouse Management solution was selected for its ability to deliver measurable ROI and productivity gains in inventory management, labour management, warehouse efficiency and physical space utilisation. Since implementing the Manhattan solution, Semir has seen picking efficiency improve by 60 percent, labour costs cut by 40 percent and space utilisation improve by 30 percent. By accelerating goods flows, Semir is now able to process 350,000 individual pieces in a 7-hour order preparation window.
