Redefining a Decade
A decade ago, we set out to redefine what supply chain planning could be. It needed to be fast, agile, and continuously provide access to new capabilities, auto-scale for peak demand, and effortlessly customizable.
The result is Manhattan Active® Supply Chain Planning—a revolutionary, unified solution that changes what’s possible for supply chain planning.
This is more than just software; it's the culmination of a decade of relentless innovation to unify planning for inventory, labor, distribution, and transportation into one seamless strategy, every moment of every day.
A new era of supply chain planning starts now.
What is Unified Business Planning?
Unified Business Planning (UBP) redefines how supply chain operations are managed, transforming fragmented strategies into a continuous, real-time plan. With Manhattan Active Supply Chain Planning, you have the power to plan everything—from inventory and labor to transportation and facilities—all within a single, unified plan.
The Future of Supply Chain Management
-
Plan Everything
Uniquely generates a new model by combining statistical standards with advanced machine learning. Fusing external demand signals with historical internal patterns, allows continuous planning on real-time inventories, labor, transportation, facilities, and more—all within a single, unified plan.
-
Align Everyone
Orchestrate seamless, bi-directional coordination with Warehouse Management (WM), Transportation Management (TM), and Order Management (OM) to align every resource and system toward a common goal.
Continuous Planning
Most planning systems have roots in the store-centric era, when the digital consumer didn't exist, and we had plenty of time to process the nightly batch of orders.
Legacy planning processes like S&OP and even S&OE, are showing their age. They are too slow, and too disconnected from the execution systems.
When it comes to inventory, it must be where the demand is. There’s just no time for anything else.
We have to create more inventory speed, compressing planning cycles to the point they are effectively continuous.

A System That Listens and Adapts
The key to a successful supply chain is responsiveness. To keep pace with fast-changing consumer demands, your planning system must be as agile as your execution systems. This is why intraday inventory optimization is crucial. With real-time updates, you can instantly react to market shifts, customer behaviors, and sales trends, ensuring your inventory is always in the right place at the right time.
Traditional systems rely on batch jobs that run once a night, often taking hours to process, leaving your supply chain lagging behind. We saw this as a fundamental barrier to supply chain success and threw it overboard. Manhattan Active SCP was rebuilt to continuously listen to everything happening in your supply chain, from inventory changes to demand signals.
