Tesco is a major convenience retailer in the UK and more recently in Southern California. Tescodirect.com is a website operated by Tesco that allows ordering of products for home delivery in the UK. To enable the Tescodirect.com ordering capabilities, Tesco chose Manhattan Associates warehouse management systems to facilitate the unique order picking requirements of direct purchasing, such as picking single items. This is not something ordinarily done in a distribution center that supports retail stores. The video below shows how Tesco are using Manhattans tools as a case study.
The video below is embedded from www.yourtechtv.com. I recommend signing up for this site because they have a complete supply chain management category for video. I'm a believer in online video as an interesting and instructive communication tool. You'll see more of these vids on Freightdawg.com in due course.
(Note: Some corporate proxy servers ban video from some sites such as youtube.com. If you see white space below...you may be on such a network. Please revisit from home or a connection that does not go through your company VPN.)
