Manhattan Associates Named Overall Innovation of the Year from the SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards

ATLANTA, June 14 – Manhattan Associates Inc. today announced it has been named SupplyTech Breakthrough’s Overall Innovation of the Year for 2024. Amongst thousands of nominations, Manhattan Active® Yard Management, with its ability to unify distribution and logistics functions, was recognized as the year’s most groundbreaking supply chain solution.

Last year, Manhattan announced its next-generation Yard Management solution to expand the company’s vision of a unified supply chain. By redesigning yard management to work seamlessly with its industry leading warehouse and transportation management solutions on a single cloud native platform, Manhattan completed the digital unification of distribution and logistics where they come together in the physical world. Manhattan delivered unified yard capabilities as part of its quarterly innovation delivery, immediately available to all Manhattan Active® Warehouse Management customers as part of their subscription.


“Historically, yard management has been one of the weakest links in the end-to-end supply chain, with many companies still relying on low-tech solutions to manage their operations. These inefficiencies have a significant impact across the supply chain,” said Bryan Vaughn, managing director of SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards. “Manhattan Active Yard Management is perfectly suited to address these business challenges and bridge the gap between distribution and logistics. We are proud to recognize them for this industry-leading, innovative offering.”

“We are delighted that Manhattan is a winner in the Overall Innovation of the Year category. Our Yard Management provides real-time insights and dynamic updates, truly creating a unified approach and driving optimization opportunities, that aren’t possible with traditional siloed systems. Distributors now have complete visibility into every part of their yard operations, leading to higher efficiencies in the warehouse and faster transportation networks,” said Blake Coram, director of Product Management, Manhattan Associates. “This recognition is further validation of Manhattan’s market leading innovation and vision.”

The mission of the annual SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards program is to honor excellence and recognize creativity, and success of companies, technologies, and products within the supply chain technology sector. SupplyTech Breakthrough is part of the Tech Breakthrough organization, a leading global market intelligence and recognition platform for companies in today’s most competitive technology sectors.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
