Swizzels Matlow, a UK confectionery manufacturer, implemented Manhattan SCALE to modernize warehouse operations at its Adlington distribution center. The prior manual, paper-driven process lacked real-time visibility and created data re-entry errors. After deployment alongside RF picking hardware, the company achieved tighter stock control, reduced task completion times, and faster resource redeployment while supporting a 10% capacity expansion.

Key takeaways

Replaced paper-based stock tracking with Manhattan SCALE for real-time WMS control

Improved inventory accuracy and customer service levels through system-directed tasks

Enabled simultaneous picking and put-away to reduce travel time and boost productivity

Completed go-live and returned to full capacity within two days after training super-users

Designed solution flexibility to support future warehouse expansion and volume growth
