ATLANTA and LONDON, May 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Manhattan Associates, Inc. (Nasdaq: MANH - News), the global leader in providing supply chain execution (SCE) solutions, has been named the number one WMS provider in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) by industry analyst firm ARC Advisory Group. A strong focus on the European market has helped Manhattan Associates gain market share, surpassing its competitors. The company remains at the top of the North American list of providers coming in at number one for the third consecutive year. The annual study "Warehouse Management Systems Market Analysis and Forecast," provides a comprehensive assessment of the global WMS marketplace in which market share figures are derived from software license and service revenues.
"Having established our undisputable leadership position in the U.S., it was particularly rewarding to be named number one in EMEA, where we continue to make solid investments and see considerable growth potential in WMS as well as in other areas such as transportation," remarked Pete Sinisgalli, president and COO of Manhattan Associates. "We are confident that our unique ability to deliver integrated logistics solutions today and our clear vision for meeting future supply chain needs will enable us to remain leaders in North America, EMEA and in the emerging Asia-Pacific market."
The company list of accolades attributed to Manhattan Associates in the report include:
Largest supplier of WMS software and services * Top supplier in North America and EMEA * Top supplier to Tier 1, 2, and 3 companies * Largest supplier to the manufacturing, distribution and retail markets
ARC's report credited Manhattan Associates' market leadership and financial stability for the company's success. Growing from a purely WMS company when it was founded in 1990 to one with a comprehensive set of source to consumption supply chain solutions for supply chain execution and optimization has been the result of an expanded product footprint as well as several strategic acquisitions. The company's transportation management, trading partner management, reverse logistics, distributed order management, RFID, performance management and event management functionality round out its warehouse management capabilities to meet overall customers needs.
