  • Posted on 29 March 2010

Vasanta Group has selected Manhattan Associates to support the former’s distribution network. The former fulfills orders for its three subsidiary brands: VOW, ISA Retail and Supplies Team. It will deploy the latter’s logistics execution system, Supply Chain Architected for Logistics Execution (SCALE) at a regional Distribution Center (DC) in Normanton, West Yorkshire, UK.

The 18,580 sq meter facility replaces Vasanta's existing DC for the northern region, also in Normanton, and forms a cornerstone of the company’s strategy to build a world-class supply chain infrastructure. The existing distribution network is supported by a warehouse management system that is customized.

The former decided that it needed an advanced, flexible and modularized supply chain technology platform that could also be seamlessly integrated with its future Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform – Microsoft Dynamics AX as well as with radio frequency technology and an automated picking and packing system.

The group expects the investment to improve stock accuracy, reporting, returns processes and to increase overall service levels.
