June 24 2019 - 8:30AM
Manhattan Associates Inc. (NASDAQ: MANH) today announced that
Belgium’s fast-growing drugstore retailer Medi-Market Group has
selected Manhattan Active® SCALE to run its distribution
operations. Manhattan’s cloud-based solution will enable
Medi-Market to improve warehouse productivity and decrease labour
costs, giving it the ability to focus on expanding its market reach
while substantially increasing pharmaceutical affordability.
Founded in 2014, Medi-Market is considered a disruptor in the
Belgian pharmaceutical and drugstore market with its aggressively
low prices. In just five years, the company has quickly grown to 32
parapharmacies, 17 pharmacies and four beauty salons. In 2019, the
company aims to open more than 15 stores and significantly grow its
ecommerce business.
Medi-Market will deploy Manhattan Active SCALE in its
4,000-square-metre Belgian distribution centre in Nivelles.
Manhattan’s market-leading picking methodologies will expedite
retail replenishment and online order fulfilment, and its optimised
put-away and replenishment of picking locations will streamline key
warehouse operations. SCALE’s advanced inventory management tools
will also provide Medi-Market with real-time stock visibility and
accuracy.
According to Peter Bos, CIO and supply chain director at
Medi-Market Group, “Manhattan Active SCALE is an enabling
technology for our future growth plans in our stores and online. To
support this steep growth curve, we chose Manhattan’s WMS
technology to give us maximum flexibility and scalability so that
we can go even further in providing affordable medical care to
all.”
Pieter Van den Broecke, managing director for Benelux and
Germany at Manhattan Associates says, “One of the fastest growing
drugstore retailers in Europe, Medi-Market is investing in
innovative solutions which will help it accelerate its growth in
Belgium as well as in nearby countries. Our easy-to-implement,
cloud-based solution minimises the use of Medi-Market’s IT
resources and provides it with faster implementation and quicker
ROI. We are pleased to see our Manhattan Active SCALE being used to
deliver optimal customer service.”
