Giant Eagle deploys Manhattan Active Warehouse Management as multi-site roll-out continues apace

Giant Eagle, a US food retailer and distributor, has implemented Manhattan Active Warehouse Management (WM) at its largest facility in Bedford Heights, Ohio. Spanning over one million square feet, this technology upgrade is part of the company’s commitment to achieving a highly automated logistics network.

This is Giant Eagle’s fifth facility in its cloud migration to Manhattan Active WM, with plans to transition its remaining two DCs by September 2025.

With Manhattan, it completed each implementation with a quick return to full production levels within days of launching the updated system. In its first week of operation, Giant Eagle’s warehouse processed hundreds of thousands of inbound and outbound cases.

2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

Supply chain technology will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards, which are now open for entries, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
