The challenge

The customer aimed to upgrade an existing on-premises omnichannel fulfillment system to a cloud-based, microservices-driven unified solution with all omnichannel modules integrated into a single application.

The key challenge was to implement the Manhattan Active® Omnichannel upgrade across three customer brands in a single program, while the team was still upskilling on the new platform. Additionally, the project required planning and delivering for all three brands in parallel, while managing evolving code changes, unstable environments, and complex third-party integrations.
