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.
iHerb is a global leader in health and wellness and is committed to making health and wellness accessible to all. iHerb
chose KSA as its base in the Middle East due to its increasing demand for health and wellness products, as well as the
promising business environment. iHerb aims to enhance distribution of its products across the region to meet the local
growing demands. Through the partnership, CJ Logistics will integrate Savoye's cutting-edge automated solutions to
optimize its operations and boost productivity to advance this goal.
