To grow market share and increase their earnings before interest
and tax (EBIT) by $25 million, Lennox International moved from a
national distribution network to a regional distribution,
hub-and-spoke network. With broader visibility and regional
control, Lennox has increased their productivity by more than 50
percent, and reports their shipping and inventory has reached a 99
percent accuracy rate.
"We turned to Manhattan, not only for their expertise, but
because they offered an integrated system—lowering our costs and
customer cycle time," said Gary Bedard, vice president and general
manager, Lennox International. "Because Lennox is a
transportation-driven company, Manhattan Associates TMS was the
natural choice to support our strategic growth."
The strategic redesign comes on the heels of Lennox's annual
peak season. Before Manhattan's implementation, the manufacturer
and distributor had minimal to no warehouse-level visibility.
"Today we have visibility to see orders before they print, allowing
us to consolidate orders—reducing freight costs and giving us
greater control over inventory," said Keith Nash, vice president,
supply chain logistics, Lennox International.
Manhattan Associates' TMS, WMS, and LMS solutions are designed
to mathematically organize and optimize warehouse and distribution
operations and transform logistics into a critical strategic
component of supply chains.
