Staples has chosen Manhattan Active WM to streamline warehouse processes, reduce picking and order errors, and improve overall order and inventory management.
Manhattan’s warehouse management solution is ideal for Staples’ advanced fulfillment environment and demanding performance standards. The system is easy to integrate with other modern supply chain applications, unlike legacy platforms that were increasingly complicated to design, staff, and complete in reasonable timeframes.
Staples’ U.S. fulfillment network comprises 6,000 associates who pick, pack, and ship 2.5 million units per day from 36 fulfillment centers and 220 delivery locations, utilizing 12 million square feet of warehouse, storage, sorting, and delivery space. The company also processes orders for several marketplaces and wholesale customers, with integrated cross-dock capabilities with several well-known brands. Staples’ new warehouse management system helps them seamlessly receive B2C and B2B orders from numerous order management systems across several divisions and brands.
Manhattan’s executive vice president of professional services, Stewart Gantt, expressed delight in partnering with Staples to modernize their distribution technology and create a more intuitive user experience. Manhattan Active WM is the first cloud-native warehouse management system built to unify every aspect of distribution planning and execution, built entirely on a modern microservices architectural design.
Manhattan Associates Inc. has implemented Manhattan Active® Warehouse Management (WM) at nine of its U.S.-based B2B fulfillment locations in just 18 months. The company’s remaining fulfillment centers will be up and running on Manhattan Active WM by the end of 2026.
