Leading supply chain solutions provider, Manhattan Associates Inc announced that Tally Weijl, one of Europe and the Middle East's leading women's clothing fashion retailers, has successfully completed its deployment of Manhattan Associates' Integrated Logistics Solutions.
Manhattan Associates' Warehouse Management solution for Open Systems and its Business Intelligence application Performance Management have been supporting Tally Weijl's two European distribution centres (DCs) in Lörrach (Germany) and Zofingen (Switzerland) for just over one year now.
Additionally, Tally Weijl has just completed a successful implementation of Manhattan Associates' Trading Partner Management solution. The fact that all three solutions are pre-integrated has made the task of interfacing them with Tally Weijl's host systems a relatively straightforward exercise.
Tally Weijl, a Swiss company founded in 1984 by the fashion designer of the same name, designs and distributes its collections through more than 350 stores located in 24 countries across Europe and the Middle East. A 2,500m² DC in Zofingen (Switzerland) supplies 80 stores and sales outlets in Switzerland whilst a significantly larger 25,000m² facility in Lörrach (Germany) serves the rest of Europe and the Middle-East. In total, the two DCs handle more than 18 million items every year.
In 2004, Tally Weijl took the decision to replace its incumbent warehouse management solution as it lacked the capacity to support the growth the company was experiencing and anticipating. Following a review of several solution vendors' products, Tally Weijl chose Manhattan Associates, primarily because it offered a number of powerful pre-integrated supply chain solution components.
Also, Manhattan Associates' solutions competently and reliably handle the most complex of supply chains, and the company's consultants had an unparalleled level of experience and expertise in the fashion industry.
Live since February 2006, and integrated to Tally Weil's Columbus ERP system, the Warehouse Management for Open Systems and Performance Management solutions have successfully lived up to Tally Weijl's expectations and have helped the retailer achieve several specific operational objectives.
