Century Martial Arts Kicks Up More Flexibility
Century is the world’s largest manufacturer and distributor of individual contact sports equipment. The company sells products to support martial arts, mixed martial arts, boxing and kickboxing around the globe through Internet, catalogue and retail channels. Century distributes products under its own name, and also under other major brands such as the TapouT, UFC and the adidas brands.
The Challenge
Century—the world’s largest manufacturer and distributor of individual contact sports equipment—was challenged with competitive pressures and the need to reduce costs while still providing a superior customer experience. To overcome these challenges and position the company for the future, Century moved to a Microsoft-based platform and deployed the Manhattan SCALE warehouse management solution.
Solution Implemented
Century Martial Arts moved to a Microsoft-based client server platform and deployed the Manhattan SCALE warehouse management solution to comply with the new operating environment and better position the company for the future.
