One Unified Warehouse Solution
Warehouse Management
Inbound to outbound orchestrated as one continuous flow.
ActiveWarehouse orchestrates orders, inventory, automation, and people continuously, so the building adapts to the order profile it actually got, and ActiveAgents rebalance work before throughput slips.
Labor Management
Work measured, planned, and coached in system where it happens.
Engineered standards, AI-monitored live performance, and coaching sit in the same system where the work happens, so supervisors spend time developing people instead of reconciling reports from disparate tools.
Yard Management
The yard schedule infused within the execution, not around it.
Appointments, trailers, and moves are visible alongside the work inside the building, so doors, drivers, and inventory are sequenced together and dwell time stops hiding as a warehouse problem.
ActiveAgents
Agents that take action
Purpose-built agents work inside the platform, not beside it, monitoring live operations and acting on exceptions so your teams spend their time on decisions, not detection.
Agent Foundry
Create custom AI agents
No-code tools to build and deploy agents that automate your own supply chain commerce processes, including any extension you have created with ProActive™.
Proactive
Add your innovation
A low-code platform for extending logic, data, APIs, and UIs across Active solutions, so your own innovation is built into the platform rather than bolted alongside it.
One Intelligent System: Built For Today, Ready For Tomorrow
One platform. One data model. Zero seams. Every Manhattan Active® solution shares the same AI-native foundation, so planning, commerce, and execution don't just connect; they operate as one. Explore each solution to see what's possible when your world is unified.
