Manhattan Associates Inc and The Forzani Group Ltd report greater supply chain performance for the Canadian retailer within just two days of implementing Manhattan Associates' Integrated Logistics Solutions—including its Warehouse Management, Transportation Execution and Performance Management solutions.
"We were at full productivity within two days," said Keith Lambert, vice-president, supply chain, for Forzani. "We are confident that we will continue to see productivity rise. Manhattan Associates is a strategic fit for us, and its solutions have the inherent flexibility that we wanted to support our business goals and expand our market share across Canada."
As the largest sporting goods retailer in Canada, it is fitting that Forzani's reasons for implementing supply chain solutions—as well as the implementation itself—proved to be perfect examples of teamwork. Serving more than 230 stores and wholesalers, 200+ franchises and a Web site, Forzani's core principles include offering an extensive product mix, great price points and unparalleled value for consumers.
The new logistics solution, delivered on time and on budget through collaboration of project teams from both companies, supports Forzani's increased service to customers and continued delivery on its company goals.
Forzani can now optimize warehouse layout and labor resources within its Toronto facility, streamline outbound shipment processes and utilize cross docking and put-to-store methods to speed the flow of goods. Forzani is also better able to track product, share information electronically with its trading partners and improve response times to stores.
