Matalan replaced an aging WMS with a current Manhattan Associates release to manage stock flow from three distribution centers to 200+ UK and Middle East stores plus ecommerce. The 12-month project delivered a single code base, near-100% uptime from go-live, and lower ongoing support costs. The upgrade created a stable platform for future expansion in stores, online channels, and product lines.

Key takeaways

Single code base deployed across three sites with differing automation levels

12-month low-risk implementation achieved on time and under budget

Near-100% operational performance from day one after extensive testing

Improved stock visibility from manufacturing through to store shelves

Reduced support overhead and standardized processes across all locations
