New capability reveals the reasoning behind every AI-driven forecast, recommendation, and inventory decision in ActivePlanning, deepening planner trust by turning hours of off-system investigation into in-application answers within seconds LAS VEGAS, May 20, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Manhattan Associates Inc.
