Körber Supply Chain Software to acquire TMS provider MercuryGate

Acquisitions

▤ Summary

Established in 2009, MercuryGate provides cloud-based TMS software, geared towards solving complex, high-volume transportation challenges, across various logistics and supply chain segments, including: claims management; final mile; shipment and order visibility; multimodal optimization; customs and trade compliance; import and export logistics; global sourcing; and product integrity and compliance. Todays market is demanding a suite of solutions that allow them to focus on single offerings, or the suite as a whole, knowing that each of the products are best in class, integrate strongly with their overall IT ecosystem, are adaptable to their unique needs, and unlock actionable visibility, collaborative planning and execution, while empowering innovation to drive future growth.” And as Körber Supply Chain Software considered MercuryGate over the last few months, Elliott said it was clear that MercuryGate would enable the company to uniquely satisfy this need, as the leading independent, comprehensive suite of TMS solutions leveraging data and automating mission critical workflows across the entire supply chain, and as an organization, like Körber, that he called truly customer centric. “First and foremost, were excited to be a better partner for global customers as we bring strong capabilities that span the whole of supply chain execution,” he said. “As an example, WMS customers will find us better equipped to assist in transportation topics and vice versa with the world class organization weve now assembled. Better visibility through our technologies make identifying systemic opportunities in their operations more rapid and actioning those problems more accurate, while bringing in our simulation, gamification, and other innovative technologies will allow customers to differentiate their business through unique supply chain offerings that set them apart from their competition.” As for next steps, in terms of incorporating MercuryGate into Körber Supply Chain Software, Elliott explained that the first focus will be on bringing the two businesses together strategically, including talent and teams, back office and infrastructure, and products.
