Körber is a Leader in 2023 Magic Quadrant for Warehouse Management Systems

Hamburg, 11 May 2023. Kӧrber regards recognition as confirmation of strong end-to-end supply chain capabilities helping its global customers conquer their supply chain complexity.

Körber named a Leader in the 2023 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) report. To Körber, this recognition exemplifies the capabilities of its unmatched depth of technologies, spanning warehouse management, warehouse control, order management,  robotics, voice and simulation to empower global businesses to further digitize and automate warehouses in response to today’s extensive supply chain pressures.

“More than 86% of companies recognize a strong supply chain is mission critical, and 71% indicate that their supply chain complexity has grown over the last year,” said Chad Collins, CEO Software at Kӧrber Business Area Supply Chain. “We view our fifth consecutive placement as a Leader in the Gartner® Magic QuadrantTM for Warehouse Management Systems as another milestone in our journey to become the global supply chain software champion. Our suite of warehouse management, control and simulation software, order management, voice and robotics solutions enables companies to build agile, efficient and sustainable supply chains.
