Partnership Announcement
In a significant move to enhance warehouse operations,
TOYOROBO Inc. and
SIG Service Inc. have formally entered into a strategic partnership as of August 14, 2025, aimed at collaboratively developing an integrated software solution. This software, which will encompass Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), Warehouse Control Systems (WCS), and Warehouse Execution Systems (WES), promises to revolutionize the way warehouses function in a multi-vendor environment.
Background of the Collaboration
With the rapid expansion of e-commerce and the trend towards smaller batch sizes, supply chain systems are increasingly becoming fragmented. This complexity in deployment and operation necessitates a robust integration platform that can effectively streamline operations across various systems. The partnership is designed with a shared vision to provide a neutral integration foundation that enhances the software experience directly at the operational level, characterized by aspects like rapid deployment and seamless scalability.
Development Timeline
The collaboration sets out an ambitious timeline:
- - Q1 2026: Begin Closed Beta Testing
- - Second Half of 2026: General Availability (GA)
It's important to note that this timeline may be subject to adjustments as the project progresses.
Official Comments
Masaru Arai, President of TOYOROBO, underscored the challenges in logistics management, stating, "The key issue in logistics is the accumulation of individual optimizations. Through a standardized integration foundation, we aim to enable the systematic rollout across multiple sites and vendors. Collaborating with SIG Service allows us to support end-to-end requirements definition, implementation, and operation, aligning decision-making closely with business speed."
On the SIG Service side,
