L’Oreal to Implement Active WMS

Manhattan Associates Inc. has announced that one of the world’s leading beauty companies, L’Oréal, has chosen to implement Manhattan Active® Warehouse Management, a global, scalable and agile SaaS-based solution. The first implementation is due to launch by mid 2021, with worldwide deployment across L’Oréal’s distribution centres expected by the end of 2023.

“L’Oréal’s global network of fulfilment centres plays a significant role in making sure the right products reach consumers at the right time, with as little impact on the environment as possible. With Manhattan Active Warehouse Management, we have a solution that will improve our agility through the digitalisation, efficiency and productivity of our distribution centres,” commented Francisco Garcia Fornaro, group supply chain director at L’Oréal.

Manhattan Active Warehouse Management is the world’s first cloud-native enterprise-class warehouse management system capable of unifying every aspect of distribution, and never needs upgrading. Crafted entirely from microservices, this latest offering in the company’s suite of cloud-based Manhattan Active Solutions will usher in a new level of speed, adaptability and ease of use within L’Oréal’s distribution centres.

Henri Seroux, senior vice president, EMEA at Manhattan Associates continued: “We are so excited to have passed the rigorous global selection process and to be able to bring the innovation, scalability and agility of our cloud-native Manhattan Active Warehouse Management solution to L’Oréal’s global supply chain network. The planned worldwide roll out starts with Europe. With the Manhattan services team delivering the full-scale implementation, we will showcase the end-to-end capability we can offer multinational, industry leading brands like L’Oréal,” finished Seroux.
