SDV Selects Manhattan for Global Logistics Operations

24.10.2011

Global supply chain optimization provider Manhattan Associates, today announced that SDV, The Bolloré Group’s subsidiary, has selected the Warehouse Management and Extended Enterprise Management solution components from the Manhattan SCOPE portfolio.

SDV expects that Manhattan Associates' solutions will support logistics and flow-through processes in approximately 70 warehouses and that the solutions will be implemented for SDV customers operating in virtually every business sector and in many different geographies around the world.

SDV’s decision to partner with Manhattan was based on its firm belief that Manhattan’s technology and its global presence could help it deliver consistency across its operations at a process and technological level, no matter what geography or geographies a client happened to be operating in. Didier Julien, supply chain director at SDV, said, “Historically we had relied on a range of disparate tools to support our customers’ supply chains however we really needed a single, standard integrated set of advanced solution components that could be used across all of our business sectors and in all the countries in which our customers operate.”

“At the start of the tender process, we conducted a benchmark exercise to create a short-list of major market players. As the global leader in warehouse management solutions, the inclusion of Manhattan Associates wasn’t surprising. Then we asked each vendor to demonstrate the ability of its solution components to meet the specific needs of a hypothetical customer. Manhattan Associates was the only one that comprehensively passed the test. The decision to select Manhattan was a unanimous one and we were particularly impressed by the quality and flexibility of its WMS and EEM solution components.”

Henri Seroux, managing director of Manhattan Associates in France commented, “We are delighted to be working with such a successful and ambitious organization as SDV. Manhattan has a proven track record in being able to serve companies operating across a wide variety of sectors and in being able to optimize the supply chains of companies operating in a specific local market or those that operate in a truly global context. SDV and its customers can be confident that with Manhattan’s team and its constantly evolving solutions, we will strive to not just optimize their supply chains in the short term but enable their supply chains to evolve as their business challenges change over time.”

SDV’s first implementation of Manhattan’s Warehouse Management solution is scheduled to take place in the next few months in Asia whilst the first implementation of Extended Enterprise Management is expected to be completed by the middle of next year.
