ATLANTA, Sept. 8, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Manhattan Associates (Nasdaq:MANH) customers are ranked throughout the "Multichannel Merchant 100," the 19th annual list of the top 100 multichannel retailers.

Today's consumer expects a seamless transition as they move across channels—from a retailer's website to physically shopping in the store and back again. It sounds simple, but executing on this customer-centric vision requires that new processes and technology are available to store associates. This new shopping paradigm has made mobile access to supply chain information and capabilities a top priority for global retailers, providing inventory, order and shipment visibility to the store associates working on the front lines to give customers a Zero Disappointment Retail™ experience.
"By leveraging current systems and investments within Manhattan SCOPE® solutions, multichannel retailers can execute orders faster, change inventory plans in real-time and avoid losing sales due to out-of-stocks or frustration over shipping options and inflexible customer service processes," said Eddie Capel, executive vice president and chief operating officer, Manhattan Associates.
To serve leading multichannel retailers, in April, Manhattan released the mobile-enabled Store Commerce Activation solution to support processes between channels including in-store pickup processes and ship-from-store options that help "save the sale" by empowering in-store sales associates to find, sell and deliver products to customers no matter where the product might be in the supply chain network.
