Deluxe Media Services Achieves Operational Flexibility and Retail
Compliance With Manhattan Associates' RFID Solution Award-Winning
RFID in a Box(R) Solution Offers Full Compliance with Top U.S.
Retailers SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. and ATLANTA, May 17
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Manhattan Associates(R), Inc.
(NASDAQ:MANH), the global leader in providing supply chain
execution and optimization solutions, and Deluxe Media Services, a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Rank Group, plc (NASDAQ:RANKY) and a
world leader in technology and media services for filmed and home
entertainment, completed implementation of Manhattan Associates'
Integration Platform for RFID. With this solution -- the heart of
Manhattan Associates' award-winning RFID in a Box(R) -- Deluxe now
meets EPC compliance guidelines for the top U.S. retailers such as
Wal*Mart and Best Buy. Manhattan Associates' Integration Platform
for RFID integrates with Deluxe's existing ERP software,
eliminating much of the time and custom development typically
required for integration of RFID. The solution, which includes
Manhattan Associates' Integration Manager and EPC Manager
solutions, enables Deluxe Media Services to easily capture and
track unique EPC read data and ensure that Deluxe's DVDs, CDs and
other products are directed to the right staging areas in the
warehouse. Data regarding when and where goods are received at
retail customers also can be tracked for quality control and
inventory management purposes. "We chose Manhattan Associates'
Integration Platform for RFID because it provided the robust,
user-friendly and scalable architecture we were looking for," said
Jeff Nelson, director of engineering & special products at
Deluxe. "We needed a solution that was flexible enough to integrate
throughout our supply chain -- from our high-volume, high-speed
operation sites to our low- volume, less-automated sites. By
partnering with Manhattan Associates, we were able to implement the
solution with minimal changes to existing operations." "Deluxe is
on the cutting edge of technology among media services companies,"
said Jeff Mitchell, executive vice president, Americas, at
Manhattan Associates. "By implementing Manhattan Associates'
RFID/EPC technology, Deluxe will meet business challenges such as
increasing supply chain visibility, agility and efficiency and
tracking products to improve quality control. Our highly
configurable Integration Platform for RFID enables connectivity
with existing systems while offering the flexibility to scale with
changing business requirements." The Integration Platform for RFID
solution integrates smoothly with Manhattan Associates' Warehouse
Management solution already deployed at four of Deluxe's facilities
and provides further support for the fast and efficient flow of
goods within its supply chain. About Deluxe Media Services Deluxe
