MandMDirect.com WMS Implementation: Visibility and Efficiency Gains
Case study of MandMDirect.com replacing a paper-based system with Manhattan SCALE to gain real-time stock visibility and handle seasonal demand peaks.
MandMDirect.com, a UK online apparel retailer, moved to a new 290,000 sq ft DC and implemented Manhattan SCALE warehouse management software. The phased rollout replaced manual data entry with RF barcode scanning, delivered same-day system reconciliation, and enabled automated cycle counts. Post go-live, the operation ran six times faster and completed Christmas stock put-away ahead of schedule for the first time in 22 years.
