Foschini Group, a major South African retailer with 14 divisions and over 1,500 stores, implemented Manhattan Warehouse Management to address legacy system inflexibility. The project standardized processes across four Cape Town distribution centers handling 40 million units annually. Key outcomes included one-day module deployment versus previous multi-month timelines and full shipping volumes restored within five days of go-live.
