In short
Finnish retail group Kesko is replacing its grocery trade legacy warehouse management system with Manhattan Active Warehouse, a cloud-native WMS that includes agentic AI capabilities delivered through Manhattan Active Agents and Manhattan Agent Foundry. The roll-out initially covers five distribution centres, a greenfield site planned for 2029-30 and terminal hub operations, targeting real-time interpretation of operational signals to protect on-time-in-full promises.
