Manhattan Order Management Integrates with WebSphere

Manhattan Associates, Inc. has announced that its Distributed Order Management (DOM) solution will feature certified integration with WebSphere Commerce from IBM. DOM, part of Manhattan's Order Lifecycle Management suite within the Manhattan SCOPE™ portfolio, enables customers to fill orders from multiple inventory channels and provide packaged capabilities for buying products online with pickup in stores, shipping online orders from stores and orchestrating vendor-drop shipments.

This certified integration between WebSphere Commerce and DOM provides retailers with a complete stack of cross-channel solutions: Commerce for cross-channel marketing and selling and DOM for order fulfillment from an extended supply network, including distribution centers, stores and drop-ship vendors.

"Solutions like Manhattan's DOM are the future for cross-channel order management, especially given the certified integration with a leading eCommerce solution like WebSphere Commerce," said John Morrow, chief information officer for David's Bridal. "This technology allows us to have complete order and inventory visibility along with better communication with our customers in every selling channel. As you'd expect, having absolute certainty over ability to deliver by our customers' wedding day is core to the David's Bridal culture, and Manhattan DOM gives us the tools we need to make this happen."
