REWE International optimizes supply chain throughout Europe
The retailer has partnered with Körber's Warehouse Management System to drive its operations across 40 locations in Austria and Eastern Europe.
REWE International AG has chosen Körber's Warehouse Management System to be deployed across roundabout 40 European locations.
The company was chosen to optimize a complex process landscape, bringing maximum flexibility to meet the multi-layered demands of the food and drugstore retail industry. 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.
"With the software platform developed by Körber, we are looking positively into the future – and are optimally prepared for both upcoming automation projects and expected company growth," explained Manfred Mülleder, Project Lead WMS at REWE International AG.
As part of the German REWE Group, one of Europe's leading trade and tourism groups, REWE International AG is one of Austria's leading local food and drugstore retailer with more than 2,600 stores operated by its trading companies BILLA, PENNY, BIPA and ADEG, as well as the online stores of BILLA and BIPA.
