Manhattan Associates Launches PkMS Pronto For Small- to Medium-Size Distribution Centers
ATLANTA, May 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Manhattan Associates (Nasdaq: MANH), a global leader in providing supply chain execution and collaborative commerce solutions, today announced at D/C Expo the availability of PkMS Pronto(TM), an integrated warehouse and transportation management system specifically designed for small- to mid-size warehouses. PkMS Pronto provides the decreased delivery time and increased order processing benefits of Manhattan's leading fulfillment system, PkMS(R), at a price point that is targeted to smaller businesses. PkMS Pronto provides modules that manage the full range of warehouse activities from receiving through shipping.
With its advanced functionality, PkMS Pronto captures real-time productivity statistics for key warehouse assets, enabling warehouse managers to utilize graphical data in tracking warehouse operations. PkMS Pronto also allows companies to more easily access order status and shipment delivery information, track and trace packages, and provides detailed order status information via Web inquiry or e-mail notification. Additionally, PkMS Pronto has been architected for easy installation and pre-configured for a shorter implementation window.
"The on-going cost of ownership has always been a barrier for companies with lower automation needs that want to invest in a full-feature warehouse management system," said Tim Conroy, vice president of Manhattan Associates. "With PkMS Pronto, these companies can now receive the scope of an enterprise warehouse management solution at a price that small- to mid-size companies can afford."
"In addition, PkMS Pronto reduces long-term costs by providing self- installing upgrades. By using a highly automated development process to publish releases every three to four weeks, we can ensure that new functionality is available to customers as soon as it is complete."
PkMS Pronto leverages Microsoft(R) technologies, which provide scalability and hardware choices as businesses grow and change. The architecture also eases the maintenance burden by using mainstream technologies that interact with any company network infrastructure.
