URBX AND VARGO® ANNOUNCE PIVOTAL PARTNERSHIP

Boston, Mass. – August 2024 – URBX and VARGO® are pleased to announce a pivotal partnership, designating VARGO® as an authorized integrator of URBX’s cutting-edge robotic solutions for high-density, high-throughput goods-to-person automated storage and retrieval systems.

of experience in e-commerce, wholesale, and retail applications, VARGO® is a leader in automated technologies integration for waveless and continuous order fulfillment. VARGO®'s warehouse execution system software (WES) has visibility across all work resources in the fulfillment center and using this live production data, it synchronizes and sequences all activities to maximize order throughput.


URBX CEO, Lincoln Cavalieri, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “VARGO® brings an unparalleled level of innovation to warehouse fulfillment. With their groundbreaking COFE®WES and expertise in waveless and omnichannel order fulfillment, we are thrilled to partner with a company that continuously sets new standards in efficiency and performance.”

“We are at unprecedented times in our industry with the explosion of new fulfillment technologies and automation. The value we bring to our clients is to align ourselves with promising technologies that have a compelling return when applied correctly for their projects. From what we have seen from the URBX solutions thus far, their technologies should far exceed that hurdle. We are excited to work more closely with companies (like URBX) that provide products to take the complexities out of the fulfillment process and deliver results,” said Bart Cera, President and CEO of VARGO®.

This partnership anticipates a prosperous future by combining URBX’s high-density, high-throughput robotic goods-to-person system with VARGO®'s expertise in optimizing warehouse fulfillment and material handling processes. This powerful alliance is set to drive success for both organizations.
