Manhattan Associates Launches AI Agent Marketplace for Supply Chain Workflows

Software company Manhattan Associates launched a marketplace for artificial intelligence (AI) agents designed for supply chain and commerce workflows during its Momentum conference in Las Vegas on May 19.

The new “Manhattan Marketplace” allows customers, developers, and partners to discover and deploy AI agents, extensions, and accelerators built for the company’s Manhattan Active platform, according to the company’s official announcement: Manhattan Marketplace announcement.

The launch expands Manhattan’s broader push into agentic AI for warehouse, transportation, order management, and omnichannel commerce operations. The company says the marketplace is intended to reduce the need for customers to integrate separate third-party AI systems into existing workflows.

“We’re enabling a collaborative ecosystem where customers and partners can innovate together on a trusted platform,” Sanjeev Siotia said in the release.

At the conference, Siotia said companies can deploy AI agents directly into existing Manhattan environments instead of “stitching together disconnected systems,” according to reporting from DC Velocity.

The marketplace is designed around Manhattan Active, the company’s cloud-native supply chain platform. Manhattan says agents built inside the ecosystem inherit the same governance and operational controls already used across its core software products.

Building a Supply Chain AI Ecosystem

The marketplace launch follows Manhattan’s rollout of Agent Foundry in 2025, a development environment for creating AI agents across supply chain workflows. The platform supports interoperability standards including Model Context Protocol (MCP) and agent-to-agent (A2A) communication, according to the company’s product documentation: Manhattan Agent Foundry.

Manhattan says partners are already building industry-specific agents and extensions for the marketplace. One example provided by the company involves warehouse workflow agents tailored for specific operational environments or regional compliance requirements.

Customer access to the marketplace is expected in upcoming quarters as additional solutions become available.

The announcement reflects a broader shift among enterprise software vendors toward operational AI systems that can execute workflows instead of simply generating recommendations. Supply chain software providers including Blue Yonder have also expanded their focus on AI agents and autonomous orchestration tools in recent months.

That shift has accelerated as logistics and warehouse operators look for AI systems capable of handling exception management, labor planning, inventory decisions, and fulfillment coordination inside existing enterprise platforms.

Recent enterprise deployments across logistics and retail operations have increasingly focused on embedded AI systems connected directly to operational software instead of standalone copilots. Coverage of AI deployments in warehouse and retail environments has also expanded across areas such as fulfillment automation, operational planning, and supply chain visibility on AIM Media House supply chain coverage.

Momentum 2026 Focuses on Agentic AI

The marketplace was one of several AI-focused announcements introduced by Manhattan during Momentum 2026.

The company also launched “Solution Design Studio,” an AI-powered configuration environment that converts natural-language workflow descriptions into software configurations for Manhattan systems. Details were published in a separate company release: Solution Design Studio announcement.

Manhattan has continued emphasizing AI capabilities as part of its broader cloud growth strategy. During recent earnings discussions, executives highlighted increasing customer demand for AI-enabled supply chain tools and cloud-based operational systems.

The company has also commercially released a workforce of embedded AI agents across Manhattan Active solutions, including tools for customer service, warehouse management, and transportation operations: AI agent workforce announcement.

The latest marketplace launch positions Manhattan to expand that ecosystem by allowing external developers, partners, and customers to build and distribute specialized operational AI tools directly inside its supply chain software environment.
