The Co-operative Group WMS Implementation Case Study
Case study of The Co-operative Group replacing legacy WMS across eight UK distribution centers to consolidate ambient, chilled, and frozen networks.
The Co-operative Group consolidated three separate temperature-controlled networks into a multi-tiered distribution model using Manhattan Associates Warehouse Management. Implementation at eight DCs, starting with Thurrock, delivered 10% productivity gains, reduced shipping errors, and improved on-shelf availability. The system supports voice-directed picking and multi-temperature order fulfillment for over 3,000 convenience stores.
