Körber software runs 40% faster on Oracle Cloud

Launched some 25 years ago and originally known as HighJump Software, Körber’s software solutions address all aspects of supply chain execution. They include design and simulation tools, warehouse management, transportation and yard management, and end-to-end control of your logistics network. They provide visibility into your entire supply chain all the way to the “last mile” to the consumer.

When transitioning to offer its applications via the cloud, the company was looking for cloud infrastructure that would be flexible and secure, while also providing the tools to run more effectively and efficiently. With its applications powered by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Körber helps its customers respond to demand for more product availability, faster delivery speed, and 24/7 customer service.

Körber discovered that Oracle Cloud Infrastructure cost 25% less and processed transactions 40% faster than its on-premises environment. Implementation was four times faster, with provisioning reduced from 6 to 8 weeks, down to 2 to 10 days.

These combined benefits help Körber’s customers, particularly retailers who need to scale up and down for seasonal business changes. It used to take Körber six to eight weeks to set up an ecommerce website for one of its customers. It would take that long to allocate software and hardware resources to host a separate instance of its ecommerce app. Now, the company can provision software resources within a couple of days.

Körber also consolidated four warehouse management systems onto Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for better performance and management control. By choosing Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Körber Supply Chain is benefiting from lower costs, getting customers deployed faster, and achieving its uptime goals for its customers.
