The Forzani Group, Canada's largest sporting goods retailer, implemented Manhattan SCALE across two distribution centers to address rising volumes and inflexible legacy systems. The solution enabled cross-docking, put-to-store allocation, and labor optimization while integrating with existing conveyors and put-to-light systems. Results included 15% higher throughput, 27% lower unit costs, and full productivity within two days of go-live.
