REWE International AG has chosen Körber's Warehouse Management System (WMS) to be deployed across roundabout 40 European locations. K.Motion WMS was chosen to optimize a complex process landscape, bringing maximum flexibility to meet the multi-layered demands of the food and drugstore retail industry. Michael Brandl, EVP Operations Software EMEA at Körber Business Area Supply Chain explains: “Today’s supply chains face a myriad of complexities. These include sudden delivery bottlenecks, rising customer expectations, ever-larger product ranges as well as hybrid fulfillment concepts and labor shortage. This leads to significantly higher demands on efficiency and transparency in logistics operations, for which digitized strategies are becoming indispensable in order to also tap new potentials of data use and analysis." The rollout will take place in two stages. In the pilot phase until mid-2025, Körber will implement the WMS at five locations for dry and fresh assortments, and cross docking. At the same time, the connection to REWE's existing ERP system will take place. The additional 35 locations will be converted with support from Körber through REWE International. The go-live is anticipated by the year 2028. (....)
