MOMENTUM 2011 -- Today at the Momentum 2011 conference in San Diego, Manhattan Associates (Nasdaq:MANH) will showcase "The Platform Effect for Retail" to meet today's always-on, everywhere commerce demands. A multi-media exhibit in the Momentum Discovery Center, "The Platform Effect for Retail" showcases a three-part shopping scenario that emphasizes how Manhattan supply chain optimization solutions can help retailers deliver a Zero Disappointment Retail(TM) experience to customers by providing choice and convenience through every shopping channel.
"Retailers must be prepared to fulfill their brand promise across every channel, without missing a beat," said Eddie Capel, executive vice president and chief operating officer, Manhattan Associates. "This requires real-time visibility of the entire supply chain along with dynamic decision-making capabilities that lower overall inventory while providing seamless touchpoints to the customer, no matter the channel."
The exhibit is open daily in the Discovery Center at Momentum 2011, currently underway at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront in California from May 22-25. The demonstration vignettes take visitors through an interactive shopping experience where a consumer's expectations for ordering, fulfilling and even returning products are met by leveraging a fully optimized retail supply chain. With Manhattan's platform-based approach, retailers can:
-- Save every sale: Manhattan's mobile supply chain applications leverage
the Manhattan Supply Chain Process Platform and empower in-store sales
associates to find, sell and deliver products to customers no matter
where the product might be in the supply chain network while also
providing a variety of shipping options to fulfill every brand promise
made to customers.
-- Right-size inventory: Manhattan SCOPE(R) solutions provide the
automation, real-time visibility and dynamic decision-making
capabilities that lower overall inventory, reduce touches and get the

buying trends and seasonal demand.
-- React quickly and decisively: Manhattan provides a single source to
consistently collect, manage, distribute and act on information and
events that flow through the supply chain as events happen. This
