Bidfood, a Dutch foodservice wholesaler handling 60,000 SKUs, implemented Manhattan Associates solutions to replace heavily customized legacy systems. The project covers a national ambient DC, a temperature-controlled chilled DC, four regional DCs and ten satellite sites. Key drivers were shrinking margins, short lead times and projected volume growth. Manhattan WMS, slotting and SCI tools were deployed to improve visibility, cross-functional processes and order fulfillment accuracy.
