Insights
The migration of Giant Eagle's distribution centers to Manhattan Active® Warehouse Management represents a significant operational transformation. The successful implementation across three DCs, with plans for four more by 2025, showcases the scalability and efficiency gains of cloud-native WMS solutions. The quarterly updates feature is particularly valuable, eliminating costly upgrade cycles while continuously improving operational capabilities.
The integration of Manhattan Active Transportation Management creates a unified supply chain technology stack that will drive substantial operational synergies. The combination of WMS and TM systems in a single cloud platform enables real-time optimization across distribution, transportation and labor management - a competitive advantage in the high-volume, low-margin grocery sector. This technology investment positions Giant Eagle to better manage supply chain complexities and improve cost efficiency.
The American supermarket chain’s move to a cloud-native WMS has gone smoothly with each implementation completed faster than the previous one.
“What I love most about Manhattan Active Warehouse Management is that we'll never need to upgrade again," said Dan Kapalko, senior director of Technology Systems at Giant Eagle. “Plus, the ability to get new features and functionality every quarter is invaluable. We’ve already received several of these quarterly releases, and many of the new features, like the shipment progress screen, have become essential tools used by our Team Members every day in our three live warehouses. This continuous stream of enhancements gives us a competitive advantage, without the cost and disruption of a traditional upgrade.”
Manhattan Active Warehouse Management is the first cloud-native WMS that unifies every aspect of distribution planning and execution. Built entirely from microservices, Manhattan Active WM ushers in a new level of supply chain speed, agility, and ease of use.
