Pioneers and innovators shaping a new era of supply chain commerce in Europe were honored at the Manhattan Exchange

Manhattan Associates Inc. (NASDAQ: MANH), a global provider of supply chain and omnichannel commerce solutions, today announced the winners of the EMEA ‘Excellence Awards 2026’ during Manhattan’s annual European customer and partner event in Milan, the fashion capital of Italy.

The annual awards recognize companies that excel in the outstanding implementation of Manhattan’s supply chain commerce solutions and that have achieved success over the past twelve months through exceptional collaboration and partnerships. 

“Although uncertainty has become the only certainty in global trade, our commitment remains focused on steadfastness and substance: solutions built for the world as it really is, partnerships and relationships that withstand pressure, and a shared commitment to solving the toughest challenges in global trade—not just the loudest ones,” said Sebastien Lefebure, senior vice president for EMEA at Manhattan Associates.

The winners are:

• Supply Chain Execution: What sets DHL apart is not innovation for innovation’s sake, but the discipline to make it impactful. Thanks to standardization, API-first integration, and automation, DHL’s customers can scale up faster, adapt more quickly, and deliver the right product to the right customer at the right time through an execution model that is proven, repeatable, and cost-effective across Europe.
• Commerce: BAUHAUS has been recognized for its use of Manhattan’s unified commerce solutions to transform its store network into a connected omnichannel commerce platform. By adopting an API-first approach that supports innovation, operational excellence, and organizational agility, BAUHAUS has clearly demonstrated how retail technology and a customer-centric mindset can create lasting business value that extends beyond individual channels and transactions.
• Unified Supply Chain: Kave Home is a fast-growing Spanish furniture retailer that selected ActiveWarehouse™ and ActiveTransportation™ in November 2025 for its central distribution center near Girona, Spain. Thanks to close collaboration between the two teams, a unified supply chain for Kave Home became a reality in just eight months.
• Innovation Leader: As one of the first participants in the Early Access Program, L’Oréal has transformed Manhattan’s ActiveAgents™ from a promising concept into an operational reality. From the very beginning, L’Oréal has been committed to testing agent-based AI for real-world supply chain challenges, thereby demonstrating that innovation succeeds when people, processes, and technology evolve together.
• Consulting Partner: This is the first time a consulting partner has managed to retain the award, underscoring the depth and diversity of Deloitte’s contribution in the region. Deloitte operates in a wide range of EMEA markets, maintains a comprehensive governance structure, and works closely with Manhattan in both sales and project delivery. Retaining this award is a testament to sustained excellence, not just a single strong year.
• Technology Partner: Centiro truly sets itself apart through its commitment to both shared accounts and new opportunities we pursue together. We greatly value the close working relationship we’ve built with the Centiro team to achieve a high level of customer satisfaction, fully in line with Manhattan’s philosophy.
• Innovation Partner: Throughout the year, Bricz has focused on effectively showcasing the unique features of Manhattan’s solution platform to the market. In the run-up to Exchange, the company organized “The Road to Exchange,” a pan-European roadshow that brought together customers and prospects to discuss and unlock the value of Manhattan’s solutions—a highly innovative initiative that perfectly underscores why Bricz is our Innovation Partner of the Year.

“This year marks the fourth edition of these awards, and our customers continue to find new and unexpected ways to apply our solutions to business challenges. At the same time, year after year, our partner ecosystem demonstrates what’s possible when organizations work toward common goals; congratulations to all our 2026 winners!” adds Lefebure.
