Kuehne+Nagel is transforming its contract logistics digital capabilities by migrating its warehouse management system KN SwiftLOG to a cloud-native logistics platform having agentic AI capabilities.
The deployment covers over 1,000 sites in roughly 100 countries and is one of the largest warehouse operational transformations in the logistics sector.
The transformation is supported by the platform, based on the Warehouse Management Solution from Blue Yonder, a component of the company’s Cognitive Solutions. This integrates KN SwiftLOG into one cloud-based environment while remaining the proven warehouse management system by Kuehne+Nagel.
The worldwide roll-out started in April 2026 and is being carried out in phases to provide continuity of service. It can scale across operations and assists in handling growing supply chain complexity and changing customer requirements as the implementation moves forward.
According to Executive Vice President, Contract Logistics, Kuehne+Nagel, Eduardo Razuck, “Evolving KN SwiftLOG into a cloud-native logistics platform allows us to connect operations, data, and workflows more effectively across locations. As supply chains become more complex, improving efficiency remains a key driver for adopting cloud-based solutions. This shift supports consistent execution at scale and helps us respond more quickly to customer requirements while maintaining reliable service delivery.”
The platform combines warehouse activities alongside data-driven insights and intelligent automation to promote more effective, coordinated activities throughout the network. That gives you better planning, greater visibility, and a faster reaction to disruptions.
When it comes to customers, this means consistency in delivery across locations and the consistent operation they enjoy presently. Moving to one cloud-based platform assists in standardizing operations between sites and streamlining operations for customers that are served in various nations. The first customer deployment in Asia is scheduled to be live in July 2026.
Duncan Angove, CEO of Blue Yonder, says that “Together, Kuehne+Nagel and its customers will benefit from AI-enabled execution and next-generation operating practices that increase productivity, speed, and agility. The future of the supply chain belongs to those who can standardize globally, decide faster, and adapt at the speed of disruption.”
