Autonomous Agents Set to Revolutionise Transportation Management
Global research from Manhattan Associates finds integration difficulties and data quality remain significant hurdles for organisations looking to leverage AI across transportation management SYDNEY, July 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Manhattan Associates Inc. (NASDAQ: MANH), the global leader in supply chain commerce, today announced the findings of its latest collaboration with international research firm Vanson Bourne. The global research surveyed 1,450 senior decision-makers* from organisations in manufacturing, retail, wholesale, consumer goods, grocery and food & beverage sectors, across North America, Latin America, Europe and Australia. 'Transportation is the backbone of supply chains, essential to ensuring goods are delivered on time to meet customer expectations,' commented Bryant Smith, director, Transportation Management Systems (TMS) at Manhattan Associates. 'Yet, managing transportation is becoming increasingly complex, pressured by demands on shorter fulfilment times, capacity and cost efficiencies, tighter sustainability regulations, and the growing necessity for access to end-to-end visibility across all operations,' Smith added. Fragmented systems: operational visibility and efficiency still challenging The true value of visibility extends beyond simply accessing operational data: it lies in the ability to address issues highlighted by this information and action operational improvements more quickly and efficiently. Beyond disruptions however, 60% of organisations say that enhancing visibility leads to greater customer satisfaction, through more accurate and timely updates, while 50% cite reductions in transportation costs as a key benefit of increased operational visibility. The AI revolution: excitement but readiness challenges 61% of organisations anticipate fully autonomous Agentic AI, capable of acting independently to achieve specific goals within the next five years, however, only 37% have deeply integrated AI and machine learning in their TMS today. While many might view five years in the AI space like an eon, the gap between future expectations and current usage is noteworthy given adoption is rarely straightforward: although almost half (48%) said that they already feel very prepared for autonomous agents by 2030, practically every organisation (99%) reported facing, or expecting to face, hurdles, with concerns including skill shortages (49%), integration difficulties (44%) and data quality and availability issues (44%). With many organisations seemingly well-placed to take advantage of the cost, efficiency and scalability gains afforded by autonomous agents, those organisations on the other side need to rethink their AI strategies otherwise they risk losing significant (and possibly irretrievable) market share to rivals. Sustainability compliance: a priority and significant pain point The push for more sustainable transportation is widespread. 69% of organisations say sustainability is either a global mandate or an area of significant pressure, with 62% already implementing Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive reporting. Navigating complex and shifting compliance requirements remains a global challenge, with sustainability compliance most frequently cited as a constraint expected to impact organisational performance over the next five years. A modern TMS can help to deliver the data visibility and functionality needed to measure progress and demonstrate compliance, vital to ensuring sustainability remains at the forefront of organisational thinking. Smith summarised: 'Modern transportation management demands organisations balance a range of competing priorities, and the research clearly illustrates many organisations are still unprepared to meet the challenges of evolving sustainability mandates, expectations around AI and the need for more visible, actionable data insights. Looking ahead to 2030, these demands will intensify, increasing the pressure on organisations to operate transportation operations in smarter more intuitive ways. '87% of respondents anticipate that challenges in areas such as operational visibility, AI adoption and sustainability compliance will intensify, leaving their current Transportation Management Systems struggling to keep pace. Failure to act now will expose organisations to rising costs, questions over long-term efficacy, and the risk of falling short of customer promises,' Smith concluded. ENDS Additional stats: 48% of organisations spend more than 10% of their transportation logistics budget on errors and disruptions 78% view transportation management as a strategic imperative for success and this figure rises to 86% by 2030 61% are anticipating fully autonomous Agentic AI, capable of acting independently to achieve specific goals, or minimal human oversight within the next five years for TMS 50% report challenges in proactively rerouting shipments, while 49% struggle with optimising dock and warehouse labor scheduling 82% express strong confidence that advances in planning, forecasting and modelling will reduce freight costs by at least 5% within the next five years. Organisations are still struggling to operationalise sustainability: only 34% say they've factored sustainability into operational planning, 30% into procurement decisions, and just 31% offer carbon-friendly fuel solutions. While a majority have integrated their TMS with Sales and Operations Planning systems (60%) and are utilising predictive analytics or AI (56%), far fewer are capitalising on key enablers such as historical trend analysis (38%), automated booking and tendering (36%), or real-time demand sensing (35%). *Methodology: Vanson Bourne surveyed 1,450 senior decision makers with responsibility for or knowledge of their organisation's transportation management operations, working within transportation, logistics, supply chain, IT or finance functions. Respondents must operate within the manufacturing, retail, wholesale, consumer goods, grocery and food & beverage sectors. The survey interviewed respondents from North America, Latin America, Europe and Australia. All respondents came from organisations with at least US$750 million in global annual revenue.

Is Manhattan Associates Inc. (NASDAQ:MANH) the Best Growth Stock to Buy for the Next 3 Years?
We recently published a list of the 15 Best Growth Stocks to Buy for the Next 3 Years. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Manhattan Associates Inc. (NASDAQ:MANH) stands against other growth stocks to buy for the next 3 years. On April 29, Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities joined 'Power Lunch' on CNBC to discuss his outlook for the tech sector and expressed that tariffs aren't stopping the AI revolution. According to Ives, the critical question for the sector was whether spending, particularly CapEx, was being maintained. He expressed confidence that CapEx was holding up and predicted that the forthcoming results from big tech companies would serve more as a confidence booster for the market, rather than fueling the existing fears. As some investors are of the idea that concerns about a potential soft patch in the economy remain, there's a preference for safer investments in insurance and other stable sectors, rather than big tech. However, Ives acknowledged that while uncertainty had been prevalent in recent weeks, his own survey work and field research indicate that AI-related spending stays strong. He noted that, while there were areas of the cloud sector where spending was accelerating, the overall uncertainty would likely result in broad guidance ranges from companies. Michael Darda, the Managing Director, Chief Economist, and Macrostrategist at ROTH, also believes that AI would generate solid returns in the future. Ives agreed with Darda's assessment and stated that enterprises were seeing similar advancements and could not afford to leave their AI projects behind without the risk of consequently falling behind. He also pointed out that for companies like those in the MAG7, the AI revolution is a central theme, which is why challenges brought forward by tariffs would not impact the AI revolution as much. Darda changed his outlook from bearish to bullish on tech and AI recently due to his personal experience with AI tools, which he felt had improved over the past year. Dan Ives reiterated that, despite the uncertainty created by tariffs, the demand for software remained a safety blanket, and spending by hyperscale companies is expected to continue. Our Methodology We sifted through financial media reports to compile a list of the top growth stocks to buy for the next 3 years. We then selected 15 stocks with a 3-year revenue compound annual growth rate of over 20%.

The reason is simple: our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds. Our quarterly newsletter's strategy selects 14 small-cap and large-cap stocks every quarter and has returned 373.4% since May 2014, beating its benchmark by 218 percentage points (see more details here).

(NASDAQ:MANH) develops, sells, deploys, services, and maintains software solutions to manage supply chains, inventory, and omnichannel operations. For instance, it offers a warehouse management solution for managing goods and information across the distribution centers. The company's Cloud Revenue segment made $94 million in Q1 2025 revenue, which marked a year-over-year improvement of 21%. This was fueled by new customer acquisitions, where ~50% of new cloud bookings came from net new logos, and cross-selling the company's unified product portfolio. Manhattan Associates is also undergoing the conversion of on-premise customers to cloud offerings. The company is making continuing investments in product innovations, such as AI-powered features. For the full year 2025, Manhattan Associates Inc. (NASDAQ:MANH) projects Cloud revenue between $405 and $410 million. This growth is also expected to be driven by the expanding addressable market for cloud-based supply chain solutions. Overall, MANH ranks 14th on our list of the best growth stocks to buy for the next 3 years. While we acknowledge the growth potential of MANH, our conviction lies in the belief that AI stocks hold great promise for delivering high returns and doing so within a shorter time frame. There is an AI stock that went up since the beginning of 2025, while popular AI stocks lost around 25%.
