Supply Chain Planning
Agility
Today’s supply chains can shift in an instant, from demand spikes to labor shortages to global disruptions. True agility means sensing change in real time and responding immediately, keeping promises, protecting margins, and turning disruption into opportunity.
Smarter Planning. Seamless Execution. Real-Time Agility.
Manhattan Active® Supply Chain Planning unites demand forecasting, replenishment, and allocation on a single, cloud-native platform. Built on the same foundation as Manhattan Active® Warehouse, Labor, Transportation, and Omnichannel, it’s the industry’s first solution to synchronize planning with execution, delivering one real-time plan that keeps every function aligned for faster decisions, greater agility, and smarter performance.
A Challenging Landscape
From viral demand surges to sudden labor shortages, today’s disruptions don’t wait for your next planning cycle.
Agility means responding to these shifts instantly, without sacrificing efficiency, profitability, or service.
Geo Political & Climate Shocks
Tariffs, shifting trade policies, and geopolitical conflicts can change the economics of global sourcing overnight. Add in climate-driven events like wildfires, floods, and hurricanes, and entire supply lanes can be disrupted in a matter of hours. Without agility, businesses are left scrambling to reroute goods or absorb costly delays.
Labor Unpredictability
Sudden labor shortages, shifting regulations, and even localized strikes can leave critical operations understaffed. Meanwhile, surges in e-commerce or in-store demand can overwhelm existing teams. Traditional static labor plans can’t keep up; agility is what ensures resources can be flexed and reallocated where they’re needed most.
Inventory Risk
Carrying too much inventory ties up working capital and increases carrying costs, while stockouts erode customer trust and sales. The risk is amplified when demand patterns shift faster than replenishment cycles can adapt. Agility enables companies to position the right inventory in the right place and rebalance when reality doesn’t match the forecast.
