The home-goods retailer faced inventory misalignment and low customer service levels across dispersed sites. After selecting a single Cincinnati DC, Hayneedle deployed Manhattan's Open Systems WMS for real-time inventory accuracy, Distributed Order Management for multi-site order orchestration, and Supply Chain Intelligence for visibility. Results included improved pick accuracy, higher shipping service levels, and scalable processes positioned for future growth.

Key takeaways

Legacy WMS lacked scalability and real-time inventory synchronization across multiple sites.

Consolidation into one central DC reduced shipping costs and improved fulfillment control.

Manhattan WMS delivered accurate, real-time inventory visibility and reduced order redundancy.

Distributed Order Management enabled seamless addition of future facilities.

In-house customer care combined with better fulfillment accuracy raised customer satisfaction scores.
