STACK PATTERN
Manhattan Active WMS is the warehouse management system: receiving, putaway, picking, packing, shipping, yard, labor. eLogii is the routing and field execution layer that turns Manhattan Active outbound shipments into optimized routes, live ETAs, driver workflows and proof of delivery, then writes the completion data back. Two systems, two jobs. The integration runs over Manhattan Active WMS REST on the Manhattan Active WMS side and eLogii’s REST API on the other, typically delivered in 3 to 5 weeks alongside the eLogii rollout.
TRUSTED BY HUNDREDS OF HAPPY CUSTOMERS
Manhattan Active WMS and eLogii sit in different layers of the same stack. Manhattan Active WMS runs the warehouse floor: receiving, putaway, picking, packing, shipping, yard, labor. eLogii is the routing and field execution layer: the route plan, the driver app, the live ETAs, the proof of delivery, the customer-facing tracking. Both products expose mature REST APIs, and the integration between them is a normal piece of Manhattan-side work.
In the combined pattern, Manhattan Active WMS stays the system of record for warehouse activity. Outbound shipments flow from Manhattan into eLogii as routable tasks; eLogii optimizes against vehicles, depots, time windows, capacities, skills and SLAs; the driver app captures POD, photos, signatures and any custom forms; completion writes back to Manhattan Active WMS so Manhattan can close out the shipment and pass the completion event upstream. The integration runs over both products’ REST APIs.
Three tables: where ERP and business data live (Manhattan Active WMS leads), where routing and field execution live (eLogii leads), and what the integration architecture looks like on both sides.
| Manhattan Active WMS | eLogii | |
|---|---|---|
| Receiving and putaway | Core. Item record, BOMs, lots, serials, pricing | Not in scope. Looks up items by external_id from the integration |
| Picking and packing | Core. Customer record, billing address, payment terms, AR/AP | Not in scope. Customer delivery info flows in via integration |
| Outbound shipments and manifests | Core. Order capture, fulfilment, invoicing, multi-subsidiary close | Not in scope |
| Warehouse inventory and slotting | Core. Manhattan Active WMS inventory covers warehouse-side stock, slotting and replenishment | Not in scope |
| Item weight, cube, handling for capacity math | Item record fields | Reads via integration to feed optimizer constraints |
| Customer delivery address, time windows | Customer + sales order record fields | Reads via integration to feed optimizer constraints |
| Multi-site, multi-zone, labor management | Core. multi-site and multi-org | Not in scope |
| eLogii | Manhattan Active WMS native routing | |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-stop route optimization with constraints | Two engines, six configurable modes; vehicles, depots, capacities, time windows, skills, SLAs | Manhattan picking and packing sequences stops within a wave; not a constraint-aware route optimizer |
| Multi-day, long-haul, multi-depot routing | Plan a single day or an entire month in one run; multi-depot, multi-day, overnight stops | Not in scope |
| Driver mobile app for on-road execution | Native iOS and Android: navigation, POD, photos, signatures, conditional outcomes, custom forms | Manhattan Active WMS mobile and Manhattan Active WMS labor module cover warehouse and HR; no on-road driver workflow |
| Live GPS, route ETAs, branded customer tracking | Live driver GPS stream, route ETA updates, multi-brand tracking pages with embedded content | Not in scope. external customer-facing surface shows shipment status, not live ETAs |
| Slot booking co-pilot – route-aware availability | Returns only delivery slots that fit the current optimized plan; ~35% fewer failed visits | Not in scope |
| Customer self-reschedule on route-aware slots | ~70% of reschedule requests handled without coordinator involvement | Not in scope |
| Configurable POD forms and conditional outcomes | Configurable POD with photos, signatures, conditional steps, custom fields, custom forms | Not in scope |
| Parcel carrier rate-shop and label-print | Not in scope. Own-fleet routing only | Shipping integration covers UPS, FedEx, DHL, USPS rate-shop and labels |

End to end, how a delivery order moves from Manhattan Active WMS to a completed POD and back into Manhattan Active WMS for invoicing and inventory. The exact wiring depends on your tenant and the integration platform your team uses, but the shape is the same in every deployment.
POST /tasks/createOrUpdateMany, with the Manhattan Active WMS record ID held as external_id so every eLogii object can be traced back to its Manhattan Active WMS source record.Variations on the same pattern: multi-depot picking where Manhattan Active WMS sites and zones drive depot selection; multi-day jobs for field service where the eLogii task represents the visit and the Manhattan Active WMS project represents the engagement; customer cancellations from Manhattan Active WMS triggering eLogii re-optimization. None of these require special connector logic; they are normal mappings across two REST APIs.
Manhattan Active WMS is a deep warehouse management system and ships modules that touch the delivery problem, but none of them are route optimization. Drawing the line clearly matters when you are scoping eLogii alongside Manhattan Active WMS:
This is not a criticism. Manhattan Active WMS is a WMS and was never built to be a routing layer. The point is to be precise about where its features stop, so the integration with eLogii has a clean seam.
We’d never go back to the way we were planning before. eLogii is the backbone as well as the brain of our planning operations, translating actively to our bottom line.

Three shapes cover almost every Manhattan Active WMS + eLogii deployment. The right one depends on what your Manhattan Active WMS team already has in place and which side of the seam you want the orchestration logic to live on.
api-sandbox.elogii.com and publicly documented endpoints.Two common shapes for customers running Manhattan Active WMS alongside eLogii. Same underlying pattern, different surface.
Wholesale food and drink, building materials, bathroom and kitchen, pharma, grocery, parcel. Manhattan Active WMS owns the warehouse: receiving, putaway, picking, packing, shipping, yard, labor. The upstream ERP holds the customer master, sales orders and financial close. eLogii owns the route plan across the fleet, vehicle and capacity and time-window optimization, the driver mobile app for POD and pallet-level signing, the live customer tracking, and the slot booking on the storefront. Typical reach is own-fleet distribution operations with 50+ in the field, multi-depot picking and routing, and recurring weekly or monthly delivery patterns. Outcome shape from current customers: Brymec lifted productivity 30% and routing efficiency 20%; ATS Building Products improved deliveries per route by ~98%; Porcelanosa runs 95%+ ETA accuracy on daily distribution.
Less common pattern, because most field service operations run a dedicated FSM in front of Manhattan Active WMS for work-order management. Where Manhattan Active WMS is the financial backbone for field service, eLogii sits as the routing depth layer, often alongside an FSM in front (Simpro, Joblogic, ServiceTitan, Salesforce Field Service, MS Dynamics 365 Field Service). Manhattan Active WMS handles service contracts, billable work, invoicing and parts inventory; the FSM (if present) handles work-order workflow; eLogii handles multi-day jobs, multi-technician crews, recurring service patterns and the driver mobile app. Bristow & Sutor runs 200+ enforcement agents and 200,000+ case visits routed annually on eLogii; Vergo runs 400 technicians.
eLogii runs alongside Manhattan Active WMS; nothing changes on the Manhattan Active WMS side. eLogii pricing starts from $3,000 per month as a platform fee, banded by field staff, drivers, jobs per day and the modules required. Each band includes a quota; cost steps up when the operation crosses a band, not when you add an individual seat. Customers typically report 3 to 4× return on investment within 6 months, and combined Manhattan Active WMS + eLogii rollouts (including the integration) complete in 3 to 5 weeks. Manhattan Active WMS pricing is its own thing and is not affected by adding eLogii.
30-minute custom simulation with your real Manhattan Active WMS delivery orders, depots and vehicles. Projected savings in drive time, fuel and planner hours from adding eLogii on top.
We have been extremely impressed with the results from eLogii so far. The solution is powerful and the team have found it extremely intuitive and easy to get going with. We signed a multi-year agreement with eLogii and are looking forward to deepening our relationship with them over the next years.

Three steps for teams whose delivery or field execution problem has outgrown what Manhattan Active WMS’s built-in workflow covers, and who want to keep Manhattan Active WMS for warehouse activity (receiving through shipping) while adding eLogii for routing and execution past the loading dock.
Open outbound shipments, customer delivery addresses, dock and zone records, depots (Manhattan Active WMS sites and zones) and vehicles inventoried. Manhattan Active WMS REST queries return the day’s shipment book; mapping to eLogii task fields documented end to end. Custom Manhattan Active WMS fields surfaced as eLogii custom fields. Sandbox connectivity proved out on both sides before any production data moves.
Weeks 1–2Custom data simulation against your historical Manhattan Active WMS delivery book so you can validate the modeling and project savings before go-live. Side by side: what your planners produce today vs. what eLogii produces with the same orders. Approve the optimizer settings and the write-back fields.
Weeks 2–3Start with one business unit, depot or region. Drivers onboarded onto the eLogii app. Webhook stream wired to your integration layer. POD and completion data writing back to Manhattan Active WMS for AR and inventory. Expand to the rest of the operation once the first cohort is steady. Most teams complete the transition in 3 to 5 weeks total.
Weeks 3–5Unimasters runs eLogii across a multi-country operation and achieved 50% less planning time and 49% fewer service calls. Multi-country rollouts deploy in weeks, not quarters.
Each of these takes one place where eLogii adds depth alongside Manhattan Active WMS, walks what Manhattan Active WMS handles today, what the capability actually needs, where users land without it, how eLogii covers it, and how it writes back to Manhattan Active WMS via Manhattan Active WMS REST.
Manhattan Active WMS has no native constraint-aware route optimizer. eLogii is the routing layer on top: two engines, six modes, REST-callable, plugs into Manhattan Active WMS platform.
the Manhattan Active WMS mobile UI is warehouse-side. eLogii ships a native iOS / Android driver app with offline POD, photos, signatures, conditional steps and custom forms.
completed shipment can hold notes and attachments. eLogii captures POD on the driver app: photos, e-signatures, conditional outcomes, custom forms, with REST write-back to Manhattan Active WMS.
external customer-facing surface shows shipment status. eLogii streams live driver GPS, real-time route ETAs and branded multi-brand customer tracking pages on top.
Through both products’ REST APIs. Manhattan Active WMS exposes Manhattan Active WMS REST plus Manhattan Active WMS extension, Manhattan Active WMS REST endpoints and a Manhattan Active WMS event streaming for outbound events; eLogii’s REST API has 70+ endpoints, ApiKey auth, a full-parity sandbox at api-sandbox.elogii.com and seven webhook event types including Driver/Task Tracking Update with live GPS. Typical pattern: open delivery orders flow from Manhattan Active WMS to eLogii (pulled on a schedule or pushed via a Manhattan Active WMS event subscription on order approval); eLogii runs the optimization and dispatches the driver app; completion data writes back to Manhattan Active WMS for AR invoicing and inventory clearance. Most deployments are delivered in 3 to 5 weeks alongside the eLogii rollout.
No. Manhattan Active WMS are warehouse-floor workflow: wave management, picking strategies, packing stations, shipment confirmation. They sit upstream of routing. eLogii is on the road: the route the truck takes once the load is built, the order each stop runs in, the driver app, the ETAs and the customer-facing tracking. eLogii starts where Manhattan hands off: the truck is loaded, the manifest is closed, the wheels start turning.
No. Manhattan Active’s shipping module is rate-shop and label-print for parcel carriers (UPS, FedEx, DHL, USPS). It is for parcel handoff. eLogii is for own-fleet routing: your trucks, your drivers, your stops. If your delivery is all parcel through carriers, eLogii is not the right tool. If you run an own fleet for distribution or field service, eLogii is the layer Manhattan Active WMS was never built to be.
Typically: open sales orders or delivery orders, the customer’s delivery address and geo, line items with weight and cube from the item record, any delivery time window, special-handling flags, the assigned depot or Manhattan Active WMS Location, and any custom fields your operation depends on (access notes, gate codes, key handling). All of that is exposed via Manhattan Active WMS REST today. The integration job either pulls on a schedule or pushes via a Manhattan Active WMS event subscription on order approval.
Typically: delivery confirmation (delivered, refused, partial, failed and the reason), proof-of-delivery references (photo IDs, signature image references), timestamps (arrival, completion), driver-collected cash or payments where applicable, any custom form data captured in the driver app, and the final delivery status that triggers AR invoicing and inventory clearance. The write-back uses Manhattan Active WMS REST or Manhattan Active WMS REST endpoint endpoints from your integration layer.
Yes. eLogii has REST + JSON APIs, a sandbox at api-sandbox.elogii.com and publicly documented endpoints. Whichever iPaaS your team already uses can broker eLogii alongside Manhattan Active WMS.
Typically 3 to 5 weeks from kickoff to a phased go-live, including the Manhattan Active WMS integration. Most teams start with one business unit, depot or region, validate against historical Manhattan Active WMS delivery data, then expand. Heatleys evaluated 20 platforms and went live fast on eLogii, citing how quickly drivers could be onboarded.
It does not. Manhattan Active WMS pricing stays as-is, eLogii is added on top. eLogii pricing is a platform fee, banded by field staff, drivers, jobs per day and modules, from $3,000 per month. Customers typically report 3 to 4× return on investment within 6 months on eLogii.
Yes. eLogii runs operations at scale: J-Club (9,000+ stores), NHS, Belfast City Council, Vergo, Bristow & Sutor, Porcelanosa, Caldic and Berkmann Wine Cellars. ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certified.
