Hibbett Sporting Goods Scores A Home Run
Hibbett Sporting Goods, Inc. sells sporting equipment, footwear and apparel through 700 stores in 23 states. Small town sports fans are Hibbett’s primary customers and the company has aggressive growth plans.
The Challenge
the company’s operations were constrained by limited cross-docking capabilities, a lack of inventory visibility and an inefficient use of space. A paper-based system also led to an overall lack of accuracy and efficiency. These challenges constrained Hibbett’s aggressive growth plans.
Solution Implemented
A combination of Manhattan solutions automated procedures and increased efficiency. Warehouse Management and Supply Chain Intelligence solutions were implemented to fully automate the distribution process, facilitate cross-docking, maximize labor resources and provide a continuous analysis of the overall performance of the distribution center.
