Allen Interactions was recognized a Communicator Award of Distinction in the category of Interactive Multimedia for the e-learning course with Manhattan Associates on Distribution Center Basics and another Communicator Award of Distinction with Google.

About Manhattan Associates – Distribution Center Basics

For Manhattan Associates, this award-winning e-learning course provides the opportunity to take a virtual tour of a typical Distribution Center. In this course, learners not only "tour" a Distribution Center, but also “try out” the activities performed, and experience first-hand the challenges to manual processes and benefits that the software-enabled optimization provides. Through the tour, learners meet the people who work in the Distribution Center and experience how they are motivated. To accomplish this, a series of mini-learning events build around each stop on the tour. Experiencing a virtual Distribution Center allows learners to employ context to their projects. Recognizing the role the Distribution Center plays in the supply chain provides learners with an understanding of how their work helps the success of the business and the success of Manhattan's clients.
