Case Study: Leading Beverage Manufacturing Company achieves streamlined just-in-time order fulfillment and reduced trailer dwell with Manhattan Associates

Leading Beverage Manufacturing Company - Customer Case Study

A large private-label bottled water manufacturer that makes its own bottles and caps and serves grocery, club, convenience and wholesale customers faced the challenge of matching innovative manufacturing with an equally strong supply chain. The company also struggled with yard congestion and trailer line‑ups that sometimes extended onto the highway, threatening service levels and costs.

By deploying Manhattan’s Warehouse Management and Yard Management systems and tightly integrating them, outbound processes begin when a trailer checks in and the yard system directs the trailer to the dock closest to allocated inventory, triggering picking and staging en route. This alignment of production and distribution enabled just‑in‑time movement of goods, streamlined order fulfillment, reduced yard turns, lowered trailer dwell time and cut detention charges.
