Körber and Accenture announced that Thermote & Vanhalst (TVH) selected the Körber K. Motion Warehouse Management System (WMS) and K.Motion Warehouse Control System (WCS). This will involve implementations across five continents and 48 sites, including warehouses in North and South America, Western Europe, South Africa, and China. The unique combination of Körber’s WMS, WCS and the cloud brings a new level digitization and automation to TVH.
“The ability to rely on one provider for our supply chain technology needs was particularly important to us, which is what we found in Körber,” elaborates Kris Thermote, VP Logistics & Supply Chain, International at TVH. “Its varied technology stack also gives us the option to implement further optimizations down the line. Paired with the implementation expertise of Accenture, we’re well positioned to realize our growth ambitions and tap into new opportunities as they come up.”
TVH began its warehouse modernization journey two years prior, kicking off its relationship with strategic partner Accenture to develop a roadmap that enables the company’s growth ambitions by streamlining fulfillment operations globally and designing a robust warehouse template in line with the group supply chain strategy. TVH’s legacy in-house system had reached its limits. The business chose Körber’s adaptable warehouse solution as the ideal fit to fulfill existing requirements while delivering the agility for future initiatives. As a cloud-based solution, it offers, among other benefits, cyber and data security. Körber’s capability to deliver comprehensive warehouse control software for TVH’s highly automated sites from a single provider was its differentiator for the ambitious project.
