Manhattan Associates Provides Real-Time Supply Chain Visibility

Logistics Insight Asia - New Products, 3/9/2009

Supply chain visibility is a critical need for any company with an ecosystem of global vendors and partners. Visibility solutions offer real-time intelligence to help monitor shipments, deliveries, overseas purchases and all other vital links in the supply chain. With FieldVision, Manhattan Associates provides customers with the ability to see orders, shipments and inventory, while in process, using map-based technology.

The solution offered within the company’s Extended Enterprise Management (EEM) solution, leverages technology from Microsoft Bing to provide a bird's-eye view of the products and facilities within the supply chain network through real-time visual mapping – adding a geospatial context to the logistics data provided by EEM.

"FieldVision provides interactive visibility to EEM customers, giving them capabilities in visualizing and reacting to unexpected events within the supply chain," said Eddie Capel, executive VP, Global Operations. "FieldVision enables customers to actually see up-to-the-minute status of orders and shipments around the globe, both within their facilities as well as their external trading partners."

The EEM is designed to connect companies with trading partners and customers by integrating existing technologies – including supply chain intelligence and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) – to provide the overarching visibility and immediate event management capabilities required to immediately interpret global trends and gain real-time insight into the pulse of the supply chain ecosystem.
