Case Study: Rhenus Warehousing Solutions achieves managed-warehousing growth and operational efficiency with Blue Yonder WMS

Digitalization Helps Rhenus Capitalize onManaged Warehousing Growth

Rhenus Warehousing Solutions, a Business Unit of the Rhenus Group operating over 180 distribution centers in 21 countries (more than 4 million m²), faced rising operating costs, labor shortages, demand volatility and a fragmented IT landscape that included multiple WMS platforms across sites. These legacy systems and inconsistent processes limited the company’s ability to scale managed warehousing services and respond quickly to omni-channel customer needs.

Rhenus piloted and then began a global rollout of a single, best‑in‑class Blue Yonder WMS—integrated with its ERP, TMS, OMS and customers’ systems—to consolidate data, standardize processes and increase automation. Within six months the pilot delivered measurable gains in speed, accuracy, efficiency and customer service, lowered technology ownership costs, improved labor and inventory management, and created a scalable, more visible foundation for expanding managed distribution services.
