Zeeman replaced end-of-life equipment and custom software with Manhattan Active Warehouse Management to support granular store replenishment, automated shuttle systems, and pick-to-light operations. The phased rollout maintained continuous distribution while integrating with existing automation hardware. One year post-implementation, the company reports higher inventory accuracy, improved delivery quality, and real-time operational visibility across its Netherlands distribution center.
