Overview

Manhattan Active Warehouse Management is a cloud-native, microservices-based warehouse management system (WMS) designed to unify and optimize warehouse operations. It provides real-time visibility, intelligent automation, and a versionless architecture that eliminates costly upgrades, ensuring continuous adaptability and efficiency.

Features

Unified Distribution Control

Run the entire enterprise from a single app with command of fulfillment, labor, slotting, and automation. Global Visibility  See real-time performance for your entire supply chain—or just one facility. Facility-Level Visibility Manhattan's WMS software allows you to see the facility’s overall inbound and outbound—along with individual, departmental, and overall performance against goals. Actionable Insights Identify areas showing less-than-expected performance with a single tap. Digital Twins Manhattan’s WMS system allows you to see an employee or resource in a digital representation of the warehouse—and react with people, equipment, and tasks in real time.

Unified Planning

Optimize order fulfillment with machine learning that maximizes efficiency, productivity, and profitability—while simultaneously processing retail, wholesale, and direct demand. Order Streaming  Leverage intelligent, automated resource orchestration with a system that adjusts to new orders, labor changes, equipment failures, and more—keeping the facility at maximum utilization. Execution-Driven Planning As workers and machines execute tasks, Order Streaming records each action—over time it anticipates how long a task will take based on factors like number of stops, distance travelled, location, and time. Adaptive Work Planning Regulate the pace and amount of work—selectively delaying some fulfillment decisions, while taking advantage of execution feedback or changes in the order pool. Smart Task Execution Create and modify pick paths in real time—using machine learning to accommodate worker decisions.

Unified Execution

Eliminate barriers to efficiency like 'pick type' and 'order type' by orchestrating put-away, picking, slotting, sorting, and packing activities simultaneously. Dynamic Workflow Set up dynamic workflows with configuration wizards that adjust to match real-time operations. Engaged Experiences Logistics capabilities are unified in a single app, which means less training for users, more visibility and control for supervisors, and intuitive workflows with configurable instructions, images, and actions. Optimized Slotting  Integrate slot and re-slot into put away and picking workflows. Targeted Support Support for hundreds of needs—lot management, perishable fast flow, load stop sequencing and more—across industries like retail, apparel, footwear, direct-to-consumer, food, grocery, 3PL, life sciences, and high tech electronics.

Unified Automation

Use technology to your advantage to simplify the process and save time. Robot-Ready Use machine learning to optimize fulfillment across advanced automation, robotics, and human associates. Person and Machine in Sync Get maximum throughput when every asset (automation, robotics, people) works together. WES Inside WMS  Manhattan Active WM's software integrates advanced material handling equipment, such as sortation equipment, put walls, and automated storage and retrieval, as well as the latest robotic solutions. Manhattan Automation Network Make it easy to onboard automation technology by building base integrations and pretesting them collaboratively.
