Asda selects WMS provider

The software is designed to help Asda to more efficiently distribute stock, fulfil online orders and manage resources.

In addition to delivering a step change in accelerating the speed of innovation, the application architecture of Manhattan Active Warehouse Management provides an almost limitless ability to automatically scale up to meet shifts in demand. The software is also designed to be easily extended at the data, services and UI level, to meet the unique needs of each customer. 

Asda Logistics Services vice president Jon Parry, says: “Consumer expectations have significantly changed over the last 18 months, and we need to evolve our technology to drive greater efficiencies from our logistics operation.  

“The need to build something which can be responsive to the market both now and in the future is just as important to retail success as the quality and variety of products that you sell. It was the recognition of these shifting consumer expectations and an eight-year relationship with Manhattan that led us to select Manhattan Active Warehouse Management to support our longer-term goals.

“Knowing that our teams will always have access to the latest innovations across our entire network of nationwide DCs will mean we are in the best place possible to achieve our aim of serving our customers better than anyone else in the UK grocery space.”
