The multi-site solution roll-out was initiated at the 22,000m² Mâcon warehouse in South-East France. Based on the Mâcon implementation, the Kiabi and Manhattan Associates teams designed a deployment duplication model that would facilitate and accelerate installations at other sites. Subsequently, Kiabi implemented Manhattan Associates' Warehouse Management for Open Systems at its Villeneuve d'Ascq warehouse in Northern France, and then at its warehouses in Dourges and Madrid.
"New system functionality provided by Manhattan Associates' Warehouse Management solution, combined with Manhattan Associates' expertise in the apparel retail sector, has allowed us to optimise our processes and improve the performance of our distribution centres," comments Béatrice Régnier, logistics organisation manager at Kiabi.
Henri Seroux, managing director of Manhattan Associates France, commented, "We're excited to be supporting Kiabi as it pursues its strategy to become one of Europe's leading players in the value fashion retailing sector. What we can guarantee as the multi-channel retailer grows is that our solutions will grow with it. Helping Kiabi to reach its dual goals of higher efficiency and optimised service is part of our pledge to deliver an unrivalled set of Integrated Logistics solutions to the fashion retail sector."
Fashion at low price! This concept was invented by Kiabi in 1978, and the brand remains closely associated to it. Today, its 160+ stores in France, Spain, Italy and the Middle-East offer quality fashion clothing and accessories for men, women, children and babies at highly competitive prices. The company aims to become the number one company in France operating in the value-clothing space.
