BESTSELLER implemented Manhattan Active WM and WES to unify warehouse processes across five Danish sites and prepare for a 155,000 m2 automated distribution center in the Netherlands. The platform integrates with Exotec AS/RS robotics and will extend to transportation management. Results include reduced cost per order line, improved order accuracy, and end-to-end shipment visibility from receipt to store delivery.

Key takeaways

WES integration orchestrates Exotec AS/RS with 90 robots at Taulov and planned 1,400-robot shuttle system in Lelystad

Global process standardization achieved across proprietary warehouses and regional logistics partners

Cost per order line reduced with measurable gains in picking accuracy and on-time fulfillment

Platform roadmap includes yard management, labor management, and AI capabilities for future expansion

Supplier and Third-Party Risk Software

This software monitors supplier financial health, screens for sanctions and forced labor exposure, and maps supply networks below tier one. Its value rests almost entirely on the quality of the data underneath it, which is the part buyers examine last. The interface is not the product; the data sources are.

Transportation Management Systems

A TMS decides and executes how freight moves. A visibility platform only observes movement already underway. A 3PL running managed transportation is an operating model, not a different kind of software. These three are routinely confused in the same evaluation, and the confusion is getting worse as vendors on each side move into the others' territory.

Supply Chain Visibility vs Traceability

Visibility tells you where something is now. Traceability tells you where a specific lot came from and where every unit of it went. They require different data, cost different amounts, and are triggered by different pressures: operations and customer service on one side, regulation and recall on the other.
