Kuehne + Nagel launches KN SwiftLOG digital platform for e-fulfilment centres
The global warehouse management system is powered by 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, is said to offer a ‘unique digital solution that is best-in-class 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 eCommerce players are already embedded.
The first implementation was successfully realised in China with an omni-channel distribution centre for a major fashion brand.
