At booth #1937 in the Jacob K. Javitz Convention Center, NRF attendees will experience a three-part scenario that emphasizes how Manhattan supply chain optimization solutions can help retailers balance Zero Disappointment promises and profits no matter which shopping channel the customer chooses. From Jan. 16-18, Manhattan will also showcase breakthrough payoffs in retail by featuring:
- The Platform Effect for Retail: Manhattan's Supply Chain Process Platform connects the planning and execution pieces of the supply chain to activate opportunistic sharing of inventory across channels dynamically. By being able to see more inventory, retailers are able to sell more merchandise while buying less of it.
- Total Cost to Serve: Retailers offer a variety of products and services across all channels to create loyal customers. But how do they know which combination can drive both loyalty and profit?
Manhattan's Total Cost to Serve solution enables retailers to capture and allocate actual costs by SKU so that true margin can be understood—allowing for better sourcing, routing and fulfillment decisions to provide the highest possible profit to the retailer.
- Manhattan SCOPE® Social: World class supply chains require people, process and technology to be fully aligned to achieve superior operational performance. Manhattan SCOPE Social is an engagement framework that enables companies to connect social networking capabilities with supply chain solutions. Manhattan SCOPE Social integrates actionable operational data with public and/or enterprise social networking tools such as Facebook, Twitter, Yammer, Moxie, Rypple and others to engage the workforce in achieving superior operational results.
In addition to the booth activity, Manhattan is hosting a Big !deas session today, Jan. 16 at 3PM, in room 3D04 of the EXPO Hall, titled "Learn How to Maximize Profitability by Understanding Total Cost to Serve." The session will be led by David Landau, vice president of industry marketing at Manhattan Associates, and John Siedl, a partner at Kurt Salmon Retail & Consumer Products practice.
