Manhattan provides growth to Fantastic Holdings

   Australian furniture manufacturer and retailer Fantastic Holdings Ltd. (FHL) has attributed its continued growth in the current soft economy to supply chain optimization services provided by Manhattan Associates.
   Fantastic has implemented Manhattan’s SCALE (Supply Chain Architected for Logistics Execution) product suite at its main distribution center as well as two secondary facilities, covering roughly 750,000 square feet.
   FHL was operating a series of disparate IT systems and a warehouse management system that could not link across multiple distribution centers, so the company employed the SCALE system to streamline its warehouse processes and optimize supply chain performance across all of its business operations
   “FHL has continued to undergo consistent growth across its entire retail portfolio, despite the current soft state of the retail market,” said Craig Holland, Fantastic’s chief operating officer for supply chain.
   SCALE has also enabled integration with FHL’s other systems such as its ERP and point-of-sale platforms. The company also reports that SCALE is supporting new business processes FHL will implement across multiple distribution centers.
