Manhattan Associates to Showcase Multichannel Supply Chain Solutions at Online Retailer Conference & E-Commerce Expo



Stand number D40: 27th – 28th September 2011, Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre, Darling Harbour

Global supply chain optimisation provider, Manhattan Associates, Inc. (NASDAQ: MANH) will be exhibiting at the upcoming Online Retailer Conference & E-Commerce Expo at the Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre, Darling Harbour from 27th – 28th September 2011.

Manhattan Associates looks forward to welcoming visitors to its exhibition stand (D40) and sharing with them insights into some of the company’s latest product innovations in the online retail space including Manhattan Zero Disappointment Retail™, a system-enabled approach that allows retailers to deploy advanced supply chain optimisation techniques to present a unified brand across all channels - traditional brick and mortar stores, Internet, catalogue, call centre, television and mobile.

Zero Disappointment Retail relies on a set of software based supply chain optimisation capabilities. The technology preserves and complements current systems and investments by aggregating inventory, order, pricing, promotion, merchandising and order execution information across all channels.

Commenting on the company’s involvement in this year’s event, Raghav Sibal, managing director for Manhattan Associates in Australia & New Zealand said, “We are really pleased to be exhibiting at this year’s Online Retailer Conference & Expo. Australia is seeing a greater propensity towards online retailing and as more and more Australian consumers move ‘online’, there is increased pressure on companies to re-evaluate their supply chain processes to ensure they are meeting customer demand effectively. This trend has resulted in higher demand from the Australian retail sector requiring supply chain support for their multi-channel retailing strategies that goes beyond traditional bricks and mortar to include the Internet, catalogues, call centres, television and mobile channels.”

Manhattan Associates also has a speaking slot as part of this year’s Exhibition, which will form part of the E-Commerce Technology Theatre. Commenting on the key topics he will cover as part of this presentation, Scott Gillies, Retail Director, Asia Pacific at Manhattan Associates said, “I will be touching on some of the broader challenges impacting the Australian retail sector and discussing how those issues can be addressed through supply chain best practice. Australian companies continue to better manage their supply chains and are adopting ‘best practice’ techniques and using leading technology from Manhattan that is already being widely used by supply chain leaders in other parts of the world. I plan to showcase Manhattan’s tailored retail offering called Zero Disappointment Retail™, which has been developed specifically to address the needs of Australian and New Zealand retailers who are already engaged in or are looking to move into the multichannel retail space.”

Manhattan will be explaining to stand visitors how some of the world’s leading multi-channel retailers like Tesco, 3 Suisses, and Bed Bath and Beyond have addressed the challenges of online and multi-channel retailing. The Manhattan team will also provide visitors to the stand with information about local customer success stories, including leading Australian retail companies such as GraysOnline, Magna Home Entertainment and Super Retail Group.
