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.
