Network-based distribution model synchronizes demand, supply and inventory strategies across the supply chain
Atlanta, GA and National Retail Federation Conference, New York - January 14, 2008 - Global supply chain optimization provider Manhattan Associates, Inc.

Flow Management is part of the Manhattan SCOPE(TM) portfolio of supply chain optimization solutions and is designed to ensure that distribution decisions are optimized and aligned with real-time demand, supply and inventory strategies.
"Flow Management elevates distribution decision-making from a warehouse-based approach to a network-based multi-discipline model," said Eddie Capel, executive vice president for product management, Manhattan Associates. "Using Flow, inventory can be re-allocated in real time to the channels and distribution points that provide the most profitable fulfillment opportunity with all solutions receiving real-time updates that can in-turn optimize future planning and decision making."
Manhattan's Flow Management enables companies to sense real-time changes to demand, supply and inventory strategies and ensures that inventory is routed to the most profitable location in the network, whether that is directly to customers, alternate stores or other distribution centers. By leveraging the power of the Manhattan SCOPE Supply Chain Optimization Platform, companies are able to align data, processes and resources against a common set of business objectives.
"Managing a flow-through distribution model requires close coordination across multiple departments and functional boundaries, each of which is often weighed by different objectives," said Scott Fenwick, senior director of product strategy at Manhattan Associates. "Manhattan's Flow Management enables complete alignment of forecasting, replenishment, order management and warehouse management systems as a single solution to provide complete supply chain optimization."
