Director, Logistics & Distribution, Mantis Americas
Mission:
To provide customers with the best-in-class “self-serve” and scalable warehouse management/optimization/ automation platform.
Mantis, established in 1996, is a leading international WMS/logistics software and solutions vendor with European origins. With nine offices and many qualified partners, Mantis is present in 30+ countries in North & Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific.
Mantis’ flagship Logistics Vision Suite (LVS) is probably the only WMS/logistics software suite in the world that can be easily adapted for companies with sophisticated warehousing and distribution operations and automations. Its design represents a great leap in WMS/logistics technology, offering unique adaptability and outstanding upgradeability.
It enables professionals of Mantis and its partner network to easily configure and roll it out to multi-site operations (and multi-client in case of 3PLs)—sharply decreasing the initial project time and costs.
Its state-of-the-art architecture and upgradeability allow painless upgrades and cost-effective ongoing support. It allows 3PLs and other customers with internal IT resources to “self-serve,” enabling them to respond fast to their continuously evolving needs while enjoying an unbeatable low multi-year TCO.
More than 700 enterprises, many of them leading multinationals, representing all major industries (3PL, Retail, Wholesale/Distribution & Manufacturing), selling channels (traditional & multichannel e-commerce) and many vertical markets, rely on LVS to run and optimize their logistics operations, enabled by a series of valuable, extended capabilities that Mantis WMS offers.
Mantis has tightly integrated LVS with flexible and affordable automations (Voice Picking, Pick-to-Light, Put-Walls/Sort-to-Light, Smart Pick Carts, Smart Glasses, RFID, etc.) using advanced proprietary technology (WCS, Mobile App Servers, etc.) that significantly enhance automations’ overall performance, while at the same time minimizes costs due to the elimination of any relevant 3rd party control software.
At the beginning of 2022 Mantis merged with logistics IT specialist ecovium, a leading provider of SCE software and hardware solutions for supply chain processes.
German-headquartered ecovium and Mantis join forces to offer integrated, state-of-the-art supply chain execution (SCE) solutions on an international level by combining platforms for TMS, shipping, customs, and WMS. The transaction was supported by FSN Capital Partners, a leading Northern European private equity firm and advisor to the FSN Capital Funds.
In 2018, Mantis acquired Insight GT, Inc., a leading slotting and warehouse optimization software solutions vendor headquartered in Toronto, Canada.
