CEVA Logistics has started a phased global rollout of Manhattan Associates’ warehouse and order management software as part of its plan to modernize contract logistics operations. The initiative will introduce Manhattan Active® Warehouse Management (WMS) and Order Management (OMS) systems into CEVA’s technology ecosystem, which currently supports around 800 sites and 11 million square metres of warehouse space worldwide, including in Poland.
The project marks the next stage in CEVA’s broader innovation programme, focused on automation, artificial intelligence, and data-driven process efficiency. The Manhattan tools will be integrated with CEVA Matrix®, the company’s in-house warehouse management platform, creating a unified structure that allows logistics operations to be scaled or adapted more quickly for individual customers.
According to Chris Walton, Senior Vice President for Global Contract Logistics at CEVA, the company’s strategy is to enhance flexibility and operational responsiveness through technology. He said the use of connected systems such as wearables, robotics, and AI-based analytics is expected to increase productivity and improve customer visibility into warehouse performance.
The new software, built on a cloud-native SaaS platform, offers continuous uptime and is designed to handle large transaction volumes across multiple regions. It will support faster onboarding of new clients and the setup of additional facilities while maintaining service continuity. Customers will also gain access to detailed performance dashboards through CEVA’s MyCEVA portal.
The initial implementation will take place at selected sites in North America and Europe, followed by a gradual expansion to other global markets. Once complete, the Manhattan platform will operate in more than half of CEVA’s contract logistics facilities, with the rest continuing to use CEVA Matrix®.
Eric Clark, Chief Executive Officer of Manhattan Associates, said both companies share a focus on using technology to improve customer outcomes. He noted that the collaboration is intended to provide CEVA with a resilient foundation for responding to market shifts and managing supply chain disruptions more effectively.
The deployment of Manhattan’s cloud solutions forms part of CEVA’s longer-term digital transformation programme, which aims to streamline global logistics operations and prepare the company for the next phase of growth in contract logistics.
