Cabela's implemented Manhattan Warehouse Management, Replenishment, and Assortment Planning to manage 300,000 SKUs across direct and retail channels. The solutions centralized inventory functions while supporting channel-specific requirements, enabling lean-time store replenishment, cross-docking, and rolling 52-week SKU forecasting. Results included reduced excess inventory, improved floor stock accuracy, and lower freight costs through cartonization and rate shopping.
