Case Study: Forzani Group achieves 15% throughput increase and 27% lower unit costs with Manhattan Associates' SCALE solution

Forzani Group transforms its supply chain processes with Manhattan Solutions

The Forzani Group Ltd. (FGL), Canada’s largest sporting goods retailer with more than 348 stores and headquarters in Calgary, faced a stretched legacy warehouse management system as volumes grew. FGL needed a more flexible, responsive solution to improve product allocation and support a company-wide initiative to optimize store sales.

FGL implemented Manhattan Associates’ SCALE WMS, working with Q4 Logistics to integrate the new system with merchandising, conveyors, put-to-light and RF equipment and to enable cross-docking and pre-shipment planning. The rollout was on time and on budget, delivered full productivity within two days, and produced measurable gains: throughput up 15%, units moved per labor dollar up 19%, unit costs down 27%, and improved inventory accuracy and supply chain visibility.
