Manhattan Associates Inc. (NASDAQ: MANH), a global leader in supply chain commerce solutions with unmatched AI capabilities, announced today that it has once again been named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Transportation Management Systems. This marks Manhattan being a Leader for the eighth consecutive year.

Manhattan Active® Transportation Management provides a cloud-native, 100% microservices architecture that empowers shippers to fully leverage the speed, scale, and efficiency of the cloud and of agentic AI. In contrast, legacy TMS applications that have been migrated to the cloud simply lock in their constraints and inherent limitations and limit the scope and scale of an agentic future.

Today, transportation management is no longer a back-office cost center; it has become a strategic lever. A recent survey revealed that 82% of global supply chain leaders have seen their operations affected by new tariffs, with 20–40% of supply chain activity disrupted in some way. Organizations trying to orchestrate sprawling, multimodal freight networks entirely on their own are feeling the strain, as every new lane, partner, and regulation adds to the operational load. While seamless coordination and real-time visibility have always been fundamental to the world of logistics, the degree of interdependence and volatility over the years has spiked. Shippers now plan and execute against a backdrop of geopolitical challenges, port congestions, and constantly shifting trade regulations.

“We are delighted to once again be recognized by Gartner as a Leader in TMS,” said Bryant Smith, director of Product Management for Manhattan Associates. “This ongoing, sustained recognition underscores our relentless focus on innovation, customer outcomes, and world-class supply chain performance. By unifying and optimizing critical transportation functions with advanced intelligence, we help our customers move faster, deliver greater value, and tackle their most demanding transportation challenges.”

Earlier this year Manhattan announced the commercial availability of its AI Agents. This new generation of intelligent, enterprise-ready agents are directly embedded in all Manhattan Active® solutions. Unlike overlay solutions that sit on top of legacy data lakes, these agents are purpose-built for modern retail and supply chain operations, and live within the Manhattan Active® Platform, enabling them to take real-time action with full operational context, drive higher productivity, and transform supply chain commerce execution, optimization, and user experiences.
