Bangkok--26 Nov--SPARK COMMUNICATIONS
Manhattan Associates, Inc., (NASDAQ: MANH) today announced it is ranked as the leading supplier of "Total WMS Software and Services in APAC" by revenue in ARC Advisory Group's "Warehouse Management Systems Global Market Research Study, Market Analysis and Forecast Through 2019." The report also highlights that Manhattan Associates is the leading worldwide supplier of "Total WMS Software and Services" by revenue, a position it has held for the past decade.
In the report, ARC Advisory Group Enterprise Software Analyst Clint Reiser writes, "The current omni-channel retail paradigm shift, driven in large part by the surge in e-commerce, is arguably the most significant supply chain management trend in the last decade. With Manhattan continuing to extend and refine its WMS capabilities to support e-commerce workflows and enabling its clients to handle transitional and direct e-commerce fulfilment from the same facility, it is well situated to capitalize on the multichannel fulfilment transformation."
Reiser adds, "Although Manhattan Associates is well-established in retail, it also continues to develop WMS functionality for manufacturing industries and cross-industry warehouse management functionality. Within the last year, Manhattan introduced DM Mobile, a mobile application for warehouse managers that combines functionality and data from WMS and labour management."
The report calls out the market potential of Asia in the coming years. Reiser notes that there are many factors – including current low market penetration and continuing high economic growth rates – that are likely to support strong WMS market growth over the next five years.
Manhattan Associates solutions are deployed across multiple geographies in APAC including Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand. Manhattan solution experts in the region are complemented by supply chain specialists from local partner organisations as well as Manhattan's 3,000 employees located around the world.
Richard Wright, general manager Southeast Asia at Manhattan Associates, commented, "We are proud to continue our strong showing in this influential report that shows we have increased our share of the overall WMS market in recent years. Our solutions have enhanced our regional customers' core inventory management, distribution optimisation, and network inventory visibility capabilities and we're excited that many customers see this investment as a foundation for the next phase of their evolution - the building of a comprehensive multi-channel fulfilment capability. Our broader Supply Chain Commerce Solutions portfolio can certainly help with many aspects of that and we look forward to helping ensure customers' supply chains are synchronised with their customers, to drive loyalty, revenue and profitability."
