Exol Picks Manhattan Associates to Run AI Fulfillment Network

Exol announced a strategic partnership with Manhattan Associates on May 14 to deploy Manhattan Active Warehouse Management (WM) and Manhattan Active Transportation Management (TM) across its automated fulfillment network in the U.S. The companies said the software platforms will serve as the core execution systems for Exol’s warehouse and transportation operations as it expands its fulfillment-as-a-service model.

The partnership places Manhattan Associates’ cloud-native software stack at the center of Exol’s logistics infrastructure, which combines robotics, AI-native software, and transportation systems inside large-scale automated fulfillment centers.

Exol said it is backed by a $7.5 billion commitment from SoftBank Group and Symbotic. The company currently operates a sold-out site in California and recently opened a one million sq ft facility in Atlanta. Four additional multi-client sites are under development across the U.S. and are expected to open over the next 12 months.

Ashfaque Chowdhury, CEO of Exol, said the partnership gives the company a unified execution system capable of coordinating warehouse and transportation operations inside highly automated logistics environments.
