ATLANTA - September 26, 2006 - Leading supply chain
solutions provider, Manhattan Associates, Inc. (NASDAQ: MANH), has implemented
its Replenishment solution, a component of its Integrated Planning Solutions™,
at Cabela's, the world's foremost outfitter of hunting, fishing and outdoor
gear. An early pioneer in multi-channel merchandising, Cabela's understands that
the key to maximizing their Supply Chain efficiency begins with accurate
purchasing forecasts and precise inventory placements in order to meet projected
customer demand.
Planning, forecasting, and purchasing the correct inventory levels in order
to keep the DC's and stores well stocked with the appropriate inventory is a
monumental task assigned to employees of Cabela's Inventory Planning
Purchasing department. "We know that maximizing our supply chain translates
into greater savings and unparalleled customer service for our customers,"
explains Angelo P. Sakis, Cabela's Vice President of Inventory Planning
Purchasing. "Manhattan Associates' Replenishment solution has been a key
part of our supply chain success, helping us handle the unique complexities
driven by such demanding multi-channel components."
Cabela's is implementing the Replenishment solution in two stages. The first
has been completed and focused entirely on the distribution center-to-store
channel. Building on the success of this first stage, they will begin
integrating the Replenishment solution into both their catalog and internet
channels by streamlining vendor-to-DC and vendor-to-store replenishment
processes. Using Manhattan Associates' Replenishment solution enables Cabela's
to optimize service levels and increase inventory turns while reducing overall
inventory.
"Multi-channel merchandising is complex but ultimately rewarding," explains
Jeff Mitchell, Manhattan Associates' executive vice president, Americas.
"Cabela's is a great example of a company that successfully integrates its
catalog, e-commerce and in-store product offerings and uses the solutions we
offer to create a supply chain that maximizes the opportunity in multi-channel
merchandising."
