New Balance is live with the supply chain execution capabilities of Manhattan Associates' Warehouse Management, Transportation Management and Performance Management solutions in its Boston site, and it is implementing Manhattan Associates' Slotting Optimization solution as well.
Armand Teixeira, New Balance's Distribution Manager said, "The months after the implementation represented one of the most productive periods we've had at our Lawrence, Mass., facility since it opened in 1997."
"Manhattan Associates' extensive knowledge of the footwear business and the deep functionality of its solutions helped make this project a great success. Its solutions' built-in integration capabilities and ability to support high levels of automation were vital factors in our implementation,” he added.
