Manhattan Associates Launches FieldSCOUT(TM) for On-The-Go Supply Chain Visibility and Execution - "Having a mobile supply chain strategy just makes good sense if you consider that nearly 75 percent of U.S. workers are now mobile..."

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. and ATLANTA, May 4, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mobile supply chain initiatives have become a top priority for companies that want immediate visibility of supply chain processes while in the field, in real-time. Solutions that rely on radio frequency (RF) technologies are often impractical and need wireless connections that are not readily available. To address these needs, Manhattan Associates (Nasdaq:MANH) has launched FieldSCOUT(TM): Supply Chain Optimized for Untethered Technology to put ground-level supply chain functions in the hands of the frontline professionals who keep goods and services flowing.

Working with handheld devices, FieldSCOUT is an application designed for today's extended enterprise to deliver on-the-go visibility and decision-making power, even when users are occasionally disconnected.

"Having a mobile supply chain strategy just makes good sense if you consider that nearly 75 percent of U.S. workers are now mobile," said Eddie Capel, executive vice president, global operations, Manhattan Associates "For supply chain professionals, that means moving functionality out of the office and closer to customers via the hands of the end user."
