May 15, 2018: Taking a digital leap, Kuehne + Nagel recently launched its new global warehouse management system (WMS) KN SwiftLOG, a scalable platform with global reach, powered by market-leading JDA Warehouse Management.

Gianfranco Sgro, member of the managing board of Kuehne + Nagel International AG, responsible for Contract Logistics, says, “Consumer and business requirements are rapidly changing. Anticipating these trends we constantly adapt the physical and logical organisation of our fulfilment centres and enhance our management warehouse systems. New key variables are process digitalisation, change in order profile, opportunistic inventory allocation and speed. Our customers will benefit from a state-of-the-art platform in the market, which is currently the most important single investment in contract logistics at Kuehne + Nagel.”

JDA Warehouse Management, extended by Kuehne + Nagel features and expertise, generates a unique digital solution, to form a best-in-class platform for omni-channel fulfilment. It is offering specific industry vertical templates.

KN SwiftLOG will become the global standard of Kuehne + Nagel, upgrading more than 400 fulfilment centres across the world. The major advanced picking enhancement technologies and communication platforms to exchange data with the major e-commerce players are already embedded.

“We are pleased to power KN SwiftLOG with our best-in-class JDA Warehouse Management solution, which is facilitating digital transformation for some of the most complex supply chain environments around the world,” said Girish Rishi, chief executive officer, JDA. “JDA has a long track record of delivering WMS solutions for some of the most complex and variable warehouse operations, including third-party logistics, food and beverage, consumer products, retail, and life sciences industries.”

The first implementation was successfully realised in China with an omni-channel distribution centre for a major fashion brand.
