When it comes to the drums made by Japan-based Pearl Musical Instrument Co., reliability is crucial, but so is technical innovation. The same could be said for the things Pearl was looking for in a warehouse management system (WMS) to execute distribution processes. Pearl found that balance of reliability and technical innovation in a WMS package from Manhattan Associates, based on the Microsoft .NET Framework. The system supports Web services integration and was deployed with radio-frequency (RF) data collection, so it's a modern WMS with real-time visibility into transactions, but Pearl has rolled it out methodically, and touts the systems reliability and scalability as much as its technology.
