and execution and unify its supply chain
Manhattan Associates Inc. (NASDAQ: MANH) today announced that
Ocean State Job Lot (OSJL), a leading American discount retailer,
has recently selected Manhattan Active® Transportation Management

Manhattan Active TM is engineered to be extended and never needs
upgrading. This industry leading TMS offers faster, more
intelligent solutions for optimized planning to untangle complex
transportation networks, improve visibility and reduce costs.

officer at Ocean State Job Lot. "Manhattan Active TM will give us
the powerful tools we need to operate, analyze, and optimize our
entire logistics network.”
