MetaPack, a delivery management technology company integrated with 470 carriers and more than 5,500 delivery services, has entered a new partnership with supply chain technology provider Manhattan Associates.
The companies will seek to identify and develop complementary logistics solutions and services that benefit both retailers and brands.
Within the partnership, UK-based MetaPack wants to benefit from Manhattan’s tier-one enterprise software provider status in the U.S., giving it a bigger springboard in a territory into which it has been expanding in recent years. MetaPack opened its first U.S. office in New York City in December 2018.

MetaPack, which was previously a European Regional Partner to Manhattan Associates, will initially use its new Global Gold status to focus on its two key markets, the U.S. and Europe. However, it has invested in the relationship with a long-term strategy of maximizing Manhattan’s global reach and influence.
Manhattan’s solutions integrate with MetaPack’s products via the External Parcel Integration (EPI) framework. The companies will further integrate their solutions in order to rate and route packages accurately while maintaining high levels of compliance with evolving carrier requirements such as dimensional considerations, labelling and electronic carrier communications.
