Case Study: OUTDOOR CUSTOM SPORTSWEAR LLC achieves 99.5% order accuracy and scalable, flexible distribution with Manhattan Associates' Warehouse Management solution

Scaling new heights with market-leading warehouse management solution

Columbia Sportswear, a global outdoor apparel brand, opened a new distribution centre in Cambrai, France and needed a warehouse management system that could handle dramatic seasonal demand spikes, support value‑added services (hanging, ticketing, floor‑ready packing) and ensure fast, accurate order fulfilment.

The company deployed a mirror of its U.S. Manhattan Warehouse Management solution on IBM i, integrated with Savoye WCS, Daifuku automation and RF scanning, implemented by integrator B+ in under nine months. The system delivered 99.5% order accuracy, increased flexibility and speed during peak seasons, streamlined workload planning and largely eliminated picking errors.
