It is a warehouse management system that uses advanced technology that does not require software updates after implementation without versioning.

Manhattan Active Warehouse Management is a versionless, cloud-native WMS that automatically scales, so once implemented, there is no need for upgrades. It also has the extensibility to easily accommodate unique business requirements. In other words, it is "the last warehouse management system you will ever implement." Additionally, it leads to a reduction in potential IT costs, not only for visible items like hardware and software but also for labor and time spent on maintenance, significantly improving system downtime caused by tuning, patching, and upgrades.

By using a scientific approach, we present analysis results to ensure optimal picking and support rational decision-making.

The Slotting Optimization application, fully web-based and utilizing an advanced mathematical model to determine optimal slotting, considers seasons, sales trends, and product variations while maintaining grouping by popular item order or categorization. It is designed with the capability to handle very complex warehouses. Features and Functions: - The ability to change the picking locations within the warehouse as many times as needed to accommodate new product demand, changes in consumer expectations, and operational constraints. - Grouping products to quickly fulfill orders and executing layout updates in line with trends and changes. - Calculating optimal locations based on relative values, product characteristics, and turnover rates. - Summing the prices of all products and comparing millions of shipping combinations against user-defined strategies. - Scenario management functionality to simulate different rule sets and find the optimal configuration. - Ensuring the right inventory is in the best location at the optimal time. It identifies the optimal storage locations for all products in the logistics center, improving picking efficiency, reducing replenishment frequency, and maximizing throughput.

Labor management enhances product throughput, promotes customer service, and supports warehouse efficiency improvement.

Features and Functions - Performance evaluation of staff against engineering work standards - Utilization of normative workflows for coaching and dialogue with employees - Systematic feedback provided to employees based on a scorecard that measures and evaluates performance - Optimization of overtime and the number of full-time/temporary workers based on demand forecasting - Provision of real-time data on employee productivity and performance as a mobile feature for managers - Calculation of bonuses and data transmission to the payroll system - Determination of optimal staff composition through what-if analysis - Forecasting and planning workforce based on attendance days, shifts, tasks, and assigned locations Enhancing Operational Performance The functions of labor management and WMS, which were traditionally built separately, are integrated into Manhattan's Performance at Work initiative. It enables real-time measurement of goals based on actual performance. Additionally, access to critical performance data increases, leading to improved employee engagement and enhanced managerial effectiveness through the Performance at Work initiative.
