Manhattan Associates announced Manhattan Active® Supply Chain Planning (SCP), the industry?s first unified business planning platform that enables bi-directional collaboration between supply chain planning and execution systems. This solution enables planners to evaluate all operational factors in real-time, and align all systems, inventory, and resources to a common business objective, such as reducing total landed cost or increasing speed to market. With traditional supply chain planning, inventory, labor, transportation, and warehouse operations are planned and optimized in isolation. This approach yields fragmented strategies that often conflict with one another and lack feedback from the execution team.

Manhattan Active Supply Chain Planning is the first and only solution unified with supply chain execution to eliminate systemic and operational silos, unlocking enterprise-wide optimization for the entire inventory assortment and all the resources required to flow it through the supply chain. From inventory and labor to distribution and transportation, all elements are synchronized and harmonized in real-time, seamlessly united under a single plan. Manhattan Active Supply Chain Planning harnesses the power of AI to combine external data sources with internal patterns to produce more accurate and actionable demand forecasts.

This innovative solution is capable of ingesting and rapidly processing vast amounts of syndicated data from external sources, such as influencer activity, industry-specific data sources, and localized data, all of which can influence and shape demand. Manhattan Active Supply Chain Planning completes the company?s vision of a truly unified supply chain commerce ecosystem. Manhattan is uniquely capable of delivering this fully unified solution because of its technology platform architecture.

All Manhattan Active solutions are cloud-native, microservice API applications, engineered to be extensible and evergreen, with regular updates every 90 days.
