Atlanta-based Manhattan Associates Inc., a supply chain solutions provider, recently announced that Shanghai Pharmaceuticals Group Ltd. has implemented its warehouse management software program.

As one of the first pharmaceutical companies and laboratories founded some 100 years ago in China, Shanghai Pharmaceuticals is now the leading pharmaceutical distributor in the country.
