Giant Eagle replaced fragmented transportation systems with a single Manhattan TMS platform across six distribution centers serving 460 stores. The implementation enabled centralized routing, dynamic-static route optimization, and backhaul utilization, reducing empty miles by 8% and total miles by 7.7% while improving cube by 7%. Integration with procurement and WMS supported better carrier rate management and labor alignment at stores.
