November 09 2016 - 12:10PM
Wincanton, the largest British logistics business, today announced
its continued dedication to delivering innovative, high-performing
supply chain solutions to tackle the unique challenges of the
retail industry following its implementation of the latest,
platform edition of Manhattan Associates, Inc.’s (NASDAQ:MANH)
Warehouse Management System (WMS).
Manhattan’s market-leading multi-channel fulfillment solution
will provide Wincanton and its retail customers with a flexible
order fulfillment approach that delivers an integrated, omni-buying
experience for the consumer, including more choices for how they
buy and take delivery of their goods.
Liam McElroy, Managing Director Retail and Consumer at
Wincanton, said of the announcement: “It’s important for Wincanton
to ensure we stay ahead of the curve and provide our customers with
the very best in multi-channel solutions. By building on the
relationship we have enjoyed with Manhattan Associates since 2007,
which has already included a number of successful WMS
implementations, we can be assured that our specific requirements
and those of our customers are not only met today but also
anticipated for the future.”
McElroy added, “One of the first Wincanton customers to benefit
from the latest version of Manhattan’s solution is Majestic Wine,
the UK’s largest specialist wine retailer. The solution will serve
as the engine behind Majestic’s National Fulfillment Center (NFC)
at Wincanton’s shared user site in Greenford, West London.
Majestic’s customers will soon enjoy a named and next-day delivery
service, allowing customers to select from a number of fulfillment
options including click-and-collect and home delivery.”
Henri Seroux, Senior Vice President, EMEA at Manhattan
Associates, commented: “Manhattan’s multi-channel fulfillment
solution gives retailers the control and flexibility they need to
compete while giving consumers more choice over how they shop. We
are delighted to have extended our partnership with the UK’s
leading logistics business and look forward to working closely with
the Wincanton team to create new value for its retail customers and
to deliver the fulfilling experience that today’s consumers have
