Crocs implemented Manhattan Warehouse Management for Open Systems to support rapid global expansion. The system enabled fast deployment of new distribution centers, integration with automation equipment, and management of multiple order flows including ecommerce, retail, and wholesale. Labor Management and Supply Chain Intelligence modules provided real-time visibility and data-driven slotting decisions.

European DC expanded from 130,000 to 377,000 square feet with WMOS configuration unchanged

Tenfold increase in online orders handled without added IT issues through standardized workflows
