Manhattan Associates
"When we relocated here back in 1995 Atlanta was already on its way to becoming the technology epicenter of the southeast.
We saw this city as a place of tremendous opportunity both in terms of the recruitment pool with Georgia
Tech right in our backyard and the centralized location for travel."
Pete Sinisgalli
President and CEO,
Manhattan Associates
Manhattan Associates was founded in 1990 in Manhattan Beach, California and relocated to Atlanta in 1995 with just 25 employees. It now boasts more than 1,200 employees, more than half of which are based in metro Atlanta. The company has more than 900 customers and ended 2003 with $196.8 million in revenue. When it was founded, Manhattan Associates set out to develop solutions that would help create order in a critical link in the supply-chain: managing warehouses for retailers. Over time, the supply chain has become much more complex, with the onset of global supply networks and outsourcing impacting business operations. Today, Manhattan Associates is the global leader in providing supply chain execution and optimization solutions. The company has moved well beyond warehouse management solutions to developing Integrated Logistics Solutions that manage the entire source to consumption supply chain. This includes offering distributed order management, transportation management, trading partner management, reverse logistics management and RFID solutions. In addition to its software, the company also offers services, including 24-hour customer support, hands-on training courses and hardware systems.
Manhattan Associates was ranked as one of the Top 100 Fastest Growing Companies in America, according to FORTUNE magazine (July 2003) and one of the Top 100 Fastest Growing Technology Companies, according to Business 2.0 magazine (October 2003).
