Foton Motor, China's largest commercial vehicle manufacturer, deployed Manhattan SCALE to manage auto parts distribution across three provincial and 60 regional centers. The solution replaced an in-house system that could not scale or support packaging, put-away, and picking processes. Post-implementation results include higher inventory accuracy, automated task allocation, and improved labor productivity, supporting Foton's expansion into emerging and developed markets.

Key takeaways

Manhattan SCALE replaced a custom WMS that lacked inventory accuracy and scalability for multi-site distribution.

System-directed put-away, picking, and packing reduced reliance on experienced staff and improved task efficiency.

Labor tracking and performance monitoring enabled better allocation and productivity measurement.

Seamless ERP integration preserved existing investments while adding warehouse execution capabilities.

Platform scalability supports rollout from 63 Chinese DCs to future international locations.
