Seamless by Design: Zeeman’s Distribution Transformation
Dutch textile discounter improves delivery quality and reduces supply chain costs with Manhattan Active® Warehouse Management
A scalable, future-proof WMS
Zeeman’s distribution centre was in urgent need of modernisation. Its equipment was nearing end-of-life, and the outdated custom software could no longer meet the rapidly evolving demands of the market. The solution needed to enable fast and efficient distribution of new products to stores, while ensuring timely and accurate replenishment of never-out-of-stock items. Also, it needed to support a more granular distribution process.
The company was looking for a scalable, future-proof WMS capable of supporting both manual and automated processes.
Manhattan Active Warehouse Management
The new warehouse management system had to integrate seamlessly with a wide range of hardware and software systems. It also had to allow for tailored logic to match operational practices. Other key selection criteria included functional depth, real-time visibility, platform stability, and open architecture.
Greater Insight and Control
- Significantly improved store replenishment quality, leading to better product availability and higher in-store sales.
- Handle more volume, inventory accuracy has increased and efficiency has risen.
- Much more control over its operations, because of greater process predictability.
