Manhattan Enhances Strategic Modeling and Execution Capabilities of Its Market-Leading Transportation Management System
April 29 2019 - 9:37AM
Manhattan Associates Inc. (NASDAQ: MANH) today announced the latest
release of its Transportation Management System (TMS), with
improvements to the solution’s robust and proven modeling
capabilities, enhancements to carrier connectivity and benchmark
rating, and expanded global logistics support. The company also
announced that it has been named a Leader in Gartner Inc.’s 2019
Magic Quadrant for Transportation Management Systems.1
Manhattan TMS is a cloud-first offering that improves carrier
collaboration and connectivity, delivering network-wide visibility
to enable advanced strategic and operational planning, execution
and real-time route adjustments necessary to improve efficiencies.
In this latest release, Manhattan has expanded the breadth and
flexibility of its industry-leading TMS solution to help shippers
and carriers optimize their transportation networks and fulfill
their customer commitments in a more profitable manner. The
following are some of the new features added in this release:
- Advanced Transportation Modeling – Manhattan
has expanded its TMS solution’s built-in strategic network modeling
capabilities with user productivity enhancements, such as embedded
Gantt chart visualizations for extended horizon analyses. The
company has also added order splitting – which allows users to more
accurately simulate real-world capacity constraint scenarios.
- Mobile Enhancements – Previously designed for
carriers, Manhattan TMS Mobile now also gives shippers and
transportation planners mobile access to real-time shipment status
updates, resulting in improved service levels and enhanced customer
support. Available on Android and iOS platforms, TMS Mobile now
offers users the option to leverage non-commercial third-party
navigation apps (such as Google Maps and Waze) to enable
turn-by-turn directions. The app also now offers seal management
and Spanish and Portuguese language support.
- Partner Ecosystem Expansion – Manhattan TMS’s
functionality has been extended, with native integration to DAT
Solutions to leverage DAT’s benchmark market rates for analysis
against contract rates. Manhattan has also further strengthened the
existing integrations with our market-leading partners in the areas
of tracking, visibility and digital freight matching.
- Contract Management – The solution’s rating
capabilities have been expanded to support additional complex,
global rating and accessorial requirements. These include the
ability to save rate templates, which minimize rate maintenance, as
well as creating an audit trail to track all rate changes.
“Manhattan is dedicated to helping our customers overcome the
challenges of today’s transportation environment through a
significant and continued investment in TMS technology, resources
and strategy,” said Gregg Lanyard, director of Product Management
for Manhattan Associates. “We’re committed to developing
state-of-the-art transport capabilities that provide significant,
differentiating and sustainable value to our customers via the
industry’s most sophisticated and innovative TMS solution.”
