         Savoye Acquires a Major Contract in KSA to Support CJ Logistics and
         iHerb with World-class Automation Solutions








































         Savoye was selected as the automation and technology partner to fully automate the e-commerce Global
         Distribution Center of iHerb in KSA, first of its kind in the region


         November 21, 2023:  Savoye, a leading global warehouse automation integrator and software publisher in
         the Middle East, partnered with CJ Logistics, a 3PL services company operating for iHerb, the leading global
         eCommerce retailer for health and wellness, in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), to deliver world-
         class automation solutions for its e-commerce Global Distribution Center (GDC). The strategic partnership is
         a significant development for Savoye in KSA, following its recent expansion into the region.

         Under the terms of the partnership, Savoye will implement a fully automated fulfilment center, the first-of-its-
         kind in the region, which includes a X-PTS Goods-To-Persons (GTP) shuttle system, Warehouse Execution
         Software (WES), Zone to Zone fast picking system and automated orders packing to process 15K orders per
         day. Savoye's flagship X-PTS shuttle technology will be central to the project, serving as the foundation for
         an effective and ergonomic Goods-To-Person solution.
         Savoye’s high-end solution is seamlessly designed to reduce picking and packing time by utilizing Savoye’s
         highly ergonomic GTP stations for prompt high-speed picking operations. In addition, Savoye has designed
         fully  automated  packing  lines  that  are  in  charge  of  closing  and  labeling  the  prepared  orders  before
         automatically  sorting  them  into  the  various  shipping  lanes.  The  latest  agreement  marks  a  significant
         milestone for all parties as they actively work towards transforming the Middle Eastern supply chain industry
         by boosting productivity and encouraging innovation.
         Alain Kaddoum, Managing Director of Savoye Middle East, stated: “We are proud to embark on this journey
         with CJ Logistics and iHerb to further explore the Saudi Arabian market with our tailored automated solutions.
         This partnership holds great significance as it demonstrates our dedication to advancing the supply chain and
         logistics industry. Our combined efforts are also focused on meeting the industry's expanding needs while
         advancing Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 and the Health Sector Transformation Program. We thus look forward
         to  making  significant  strides  together  and  establishing  new  benchmarks  for  automated  solutions  in  the
         region.”
         The  partnership  is  in  line  with  the  Health  Sector Transformation  Program,  a  part  of  Saudi Arabia's  Vision
         2030,  which  aims  to  restructure  the  healthcare  industry  into  a  comprehensive,  efficient,  and  integrated
         system based on the wellness of people and the community at large. Using Savoye's automated solutions,
         logistics companies in the health and wellness sector can easily meet evolving client requirements, thereby
         supporting  the  program's  goals  and  driving  the  continued  development  of  healthcare  services  in  Saudi
         Arabia.
