Case Study: BlueStar Europe achieves rapid go-live, faster onboarding and six‑minute click‑to‑ship with Manhattan Associates' Manhattan SCALE

BlueStar improves efficiency with Manhattan SCALE

BlueStar, a global distributor of point-of-sale and RFID solutions, insourced its European logistics and opened a nearly 8,000 m² DC in Eindhoven. Facing a greenfield deadline to be operational in under six months, the company needed a flexible, robust WMS that could integrate with its ERP, support rapid change, and provide local support under heavy time pressure.

BlueStar implemented Manhattan SCALE™, an intuitive, configurable WMS with mobile apps and easy integrations (conveyor/label/sorter and carrier tools). The system’s user-friendliness and best-practice templates let BlueStar configure and optimize processes themselves, minimize onboarding time, and gain real-time visibility—resulting in efficient operations processing 750–1,000 orders per day and consistently meeting the six-minute click-to-ship target.
