Unveiled at the company’s annual customer event, Momentum 2026, these prestigious awards honor the companies that have prioritized innovation, adopted new technologies to expand their business, improved their customer experience and pioneered changes in their industries through the strategic use of Manhattan’s native AI-empowered supply chain commerce solutions.

The 2026 customer award winners are:
- Unified Supply Chain Groundbreaker – Giant Eagle is being recognized for partnering with Manhattan to build a truly end-to-end, unified supply chain. They deployed Manhattan Active WM and Manhattan Active TM across seven distribution centers and in less than three years and replaced multiple legacy systems at significant scale. By unifying warehouse and transportation management onto Manhattan’s single, cloud-native platform, Giant Eagle connected operations ranging from inbound receipts through store delivery. The result is smarter route optimization for hundreds of drivers, fewer empty miles, improved service to more than 460 stores, and roughly 5% productivity gains in a grocery business where timing, freshness and efficiency are critical.
- Inventory Intelligence Innovator – SP Richards for rethinking inventory with Manhattan Active Supply Chain Planning. In the midst of significant business change, the company selected and implemented the solution with strong partnership and speed, embracing advanced forecasting and replenishment to shift from reactive planning to more predictive, intelligence-driven inventory decisions. This approach has given SP Richards greater visibility and agility across its network, using continuous optimization to better balance service, inventory and cost.
- Retail Reinvention – Arc’teryx for delivering a truly unified commerce experience across its North American retail fleet, that sets them apart from others in the market. By using Manhattan Active Omni, Arc’teryx has unified the guest experience across channels, grown their omnichannel program and advanced their mobile strategy. This gives store teams real-time inventory visibility, powerful point-of-sale capabilities and data that supports exceptionally fast decision-making. The result is a seamless blend of digital and physical experiences that elevates the guest journey while making operations more agile and connected behind the scenes.
- AI Excellence – Eaton, an intelligent power management company, for using agentic AI to enable smarter, faster decisions and drive measurable business impact across warehouse and distribution operations. By embedding AI into day-to-day execution, from labor and slotting to smarter inventory movement, and combining ActiveWarehouseä with advanced data and integration capabilities, Eaton has enabled continuous optimization of throughput, accuracy and service. Just as importantly, Eaton has demonstrated AI in production, not just in pilots, demonstrating how intelligent automation can scale across a complex, multi-site network in a real-world environment.
