Leading supply chain solutions provider, Manhattan Associates Inc will implement its Supply Chain Execution solutions for Leader in branded apparel including jeanswear, intimate apparel, sportswear, outdoor products and workwear VF Corporation.
Headquartered in Greensboro, NC, VF Corporation will leverage Manhattan Associates' Warehouse Management, Labor Management and Performance Management solutions in its Outdoor division's newest distribution center (DC) in Visalia, CA.
These solutions will be implemented based on business needs to streamline for business unit growth, support the implementation of automation technologies and accommodate overall system modernization. VF's Sportswear division implemented Manhattan Associates' Warehouse Management and Trading Partner Management solutions in 2004 and the wholesale division followed in 2005 with much success.
"VF Corporation selected Manhattan Associates' Warehouse Management solutions with optimization capabilities as they began their new DC strategy because of their excellent existing relationship and the proven results they have experienced from their solutions in other divisions," said Terry Brown, VF's Director of common systems.
VF will continue upgrading to Manhattan Associates' latest version of its Warehouse Management solution as the DC strategy and business plans allow. As a part of VF's common system portfolio, the company will look to this as the solution set to support future growth. Manhattan Associates' solution fits well with VF's existing ERP solution from SAP and will help improve the consolidation process and enhance overall performance.
