According to Supply & Demand Chain Executive, manhattan Associates has announced that the purchasing and procurement arm of Weldom, the home improvement brand, has selected several components of the Manhattan SCOPE (Supply Chain Optimization - Planning through Execution) solutions portfolio to support its international distribution infrastructure.

The Adeo Group subsidiary has already initiated the project that will result in Manhattan's Distributed Order Management, Extended Enterprise Management and Warehouse Management solutions being rolled out across Weldom's entire supply network.

Weldom said it is deploying Manhattan's Warehouse Management (WM) solution across its distribution center (DC) network in France. Initially, the solution will be installed at two national distribution centers (NDCs) at Breuil le Sec and Bruyeres, both near Paris. The first (53,000 square meters) is managed by Weldom, while the second (30,000 square meters) is run in conjunction with global logistics services provider (LSP) ID Logistics. The solution will subsequently be rolled out to six regional distribution centers (RDCs) located throughout France.
