WMS Software and Services" in ARC Advisory Group's "Warehouse
Management Systems Global Market Research Study, Market Analysis and

In the report ARC Advisory Group Enterprise Software Analyst Clint
Reiser stated, "Manhattan Associates was the worldwide leading supplier
of WMS solutions in 2013, as it has been for the last decade.
Manhattan's Supply Chain Process Platform (SCPP) provides a foundation
for optimizing across applications such as WMS, yard management, and
TMS. These cross-functional work flows are of value to manufacturers,
wholesalers, and retailers."
