Körber unveils strategy to conquer supply chain complexity
Leading providers from across the globe unite to revolutionize supply chains from beginning to end.
Hamburg, Germany - 03 March 2020.
The global supply chain technology leader from software to material handling automation, today unveils its plans to revolutionize the supply chain industry by combining the technology, services and expertise of some the world’s top solution providers.
More products, suppliers, distribution channels and ever-rising consumer expectations make supply chains more complex each day. This is heightened by global labor challenges. Technology can help, but often adds complexity - a major issue being end-to-end integration of software and hardware. In a global survey of hundreds of supply chain professionals, Körber found:
- More than 90 percent aren’t ready to handle supply chain complexities
- Less than 50 percent can address more than one supply chain challenge at a time
- One in three still rely on manual methods for receiving, storing, picking and packing
“Your supply chain can make or break your business,” said Stephen Göttsche, Chief Executive Officer Automation at Körber Business Area Supply Chain. “Körber is dedicated to making your supply chain a strategic differentiator - regardless of location, industry, size or business strategy.”
Spanning software, automation, voice, robotics, materials handling equipment, systems integration and consulting, Körber provides a broad range of solutions and more than 30 years’ experience evolving supply chains end to end. This is supported by 1,300 in-house experts and nearly 100 partners around the world.
“Körber is a partner with both depth and vision,” Chad Collins, Chief Executive Officer Software at Körber Business Area Supply Chain. “By offering the right solution, at the right time at, any point in the supply chain, we turn complexity into an opportunity - overcoming challenges that arise today or beyond.”
