Groupe Dynamite Leverages Manhattan Active® Omni to Deliver the Industry’s Most Seamless and Connected Shopping Experience

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Manhattan Associates Inc. (NASDAQ: MANH) today announced its continued partnership with Groupe Dynamite Inc (GDI) to make the North American retailer an omnichannel commerce powerhouse. Owner of the popular Dynamite and Garage fashion brands, GDI leveraged Manhattan Active^® Omni’s broad functionality to significantly reduce ship times, inventory levels, and customer call times while also improving sales, profits, and customer loyalty and satisfaction.

GDI has leveraged Manhattan Active Point of Sale to turn their stores into omnichannel sales hubs. The solution’s endless aisle capabilities has saved sales in out-of-stock situations, improving the retailer’s store conversion rate creating a positive impact on their second half selling.

With just one distribution center in Montreal and a growing U.S. presence, GDI employed Manhattan’s Store Inventory and Fulfillment to transform their nearly 300 stores into reliable and scalable fulfillment points. Exposing store inventory to online demand helped GDI significantly reduce store transfers, delivery times and shipping costs all contributing to improved margin. Today, the retailer fulfills the majority of its online orders from its stores. Using Manhattan’s solution, the retailer is able to ship orders to customers in just 23 hours on average, much faster than the 3.307 day industry average.

“By adopting Manhattan Active Omni and embracing their Unified Commerce vision, we are able to give our customers the modern and personalized shopping experience they require and the outstanding results speak for themselves,” said Dave Stevens, chief technology officer for Groupe Dynamite Inc.

“GDI is at the forefront of providing their customers with a seamless and frictionless omnichannel shopping experience,” said Stewart Gantt, executive vice president, services at Manhattan Associates. “The GDI/Manhattan partnership goes far beyond the typical software developer/customer relationship. These two industry leaders have pushed each other to build and deploy one of the industry’s most advanced and effective omnichannel commerce solutions.”
