Körber Supply Chain Takes Next Step in E-Fulfillment

In light of double-digit growth rates in online retail, managing consumer demand and the challenging recruitment landscape are high on the agenda for logistics executives. The digital transformation increasingly requires efficiency, flexibility, and scalability. Against this backdrop, Körber is continuously expanding its existing service offerings in warehouse management systems, warehouse control, voice, order management, and simulation solutions.

(Hamburg) This includes the expansion of service partnerships in the robotics sector, through which Körber brings together and consolidates the technology and service expertise of leading solution providers. Körber’s Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) program simplifies access for companies of all sizes and industries to a global network of robotics service partners. It underscores Körber’s cooperative, tailored approach to individual business needs and enables a particularly economical use of robots with short lead times by shifting investment costs into operating costs.

“In particular, the area of autonomous mobile robots (AMR) has experienced tremendous growth in recent years,” explains Joe Couto, Executive Vice President Robotics & 3PL in Körber’s Supply Chain business unit. “Customers around the world are looking for solutions to manage demand spikes and address complex issues related to staffing, safety, and employee well-being. Körber is committed to helping companies tackle these challenges while keeping fulfillment times and costs as low as possible. Körber’s flexible robotics and accompanying automation solutions have enabled numerous customers to implement scalable fulfillment processes, and now we are taking them to the next level.”

At Körber, robotics solutions are already an integral part of a comprehensive portfolio of supply chain technologies. RaaS aims to facilitate access to the deployment of robots and heterogeneous AMR fleets for a variety of applications.

Leveraging the Digital Age with a Single Partner

“The biggest advantage of collaborating with Körber is that the opportunities of the digital age can be leveraged with a single partner by your side,” adds John Santagate, Vice President Robotics & Voice in Körber’s Supply Chain business unit. “Many companies continue to invest in automation, but few are harnessing the potential of integrated solutions. Companies need a partner with comprehensive expertise more than ever to navigate the complexity of the supply chain.”
