Savoye’s solution
‘ODATiO WMS’ goes live at CJ
Logistics fulfilment center
– Phase 1 in SILZ
(RIYADH)
- Savoye, a one-stop-shop
integrator of automated
warehouse solutions and
software publisher in the
Middle East, has
successfully deployed its
ODATiO Warehouse Management
System (WMS) at CJ
Logistics’ fulfilment center
for iHerb, located in the
Riyadh Integrated zone that
is developed and operated by
Special Integrated Logistics
Zone (SILZ) Company in
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
This successful
completion marks a
significant achievement, as
it is the first WMS
implementation within a SILZ
facility — a critical
initiative under Saudi
Vision 2030, designed to
position the Kingdom as a
leading global integrated
logistics hub and bolster
the Middle East’s rapidly
growing logistics and
e-commerce sectors.
Dr. Fadi Bin Saleh
Al-Buhairan, Chief Executive
Officer of SILZ Company,
stated: “The
region’s first advanced WMS
going live within SILZ marks
more than just a
technological achievement.
It is a powerful embodiment
of our vision for the Zone,
where we are not merely
building infrastructure but
shaping a fully integrated
ecosystem where innovation
meets ambition. This
milestone, achieved in
collaboration with Savoye
and CJ Logistics, is a
testament to our commitment
to creating the engine that
will empower our partners to
raise the bar on logistics
efficiency and extend their
reach from the heart of the
Kingdom to serve global
markets.”
ODATiO now
drives the facility’s main
operational processes,
including receiving incoming
goods, conducting quality
checks, tracking items at
the SKU level, managing
stock replenishment, order
picking, and outbound
shipping — all tailored to
meet the specific
requirements of iHerb, a
health and wellness
e-commerce brand. A key
feature of Phase 1 is the
ODATiO Business Rule Engine,
which allows CJ Logistics to
set and modify operational
rules as needed. This
includes setting custom
restocking levels,
automatically triggering
value-added services, and
fine-tuning picking methods
to ensure the operation
remains scalable,
responsive, and under
maximum control as
requirements evolve.
This phase has enabled CJ
Logistics to establish a
robust digital foundation
for managing iHerb’s diverse
product portfolio, which
demands high standards for
compliance, quality, and
traceability.
Alain Kaddoum,
Managing Director at Savoye
Middle East, said:
“The project sets new
benchmarks for eCommerce
logistics and reflects our
strong commitment to driving
innovation and enhancing
efficiency across the Middle
East, specifically in Saudi
Arabia’s supply chain
sector. With the Kingdom’s
e-commerce market size
estimated at USD 27.96
billion in 2025 and expected
to reach USD 49.49 billion
by 2030, it’s clear that a
scalable, intelligent, and
integrated logistics
infrastructure is critical.
By structuring this
deployment into two clear
phases, we were able to
support CJ Logistics’
progressive launch strategy.
This flexible approach
allowed us to deliver value
quickly while setting the
foundation for a seamless
transition to automation. At
Savoye, we believe that
innovation must be
purposeful, empowering
businesses, enhancing
scalability, and supporting
national ambitions like
Saudi Vision 2030”.
Phase 2 is scheduled for
later this year and will see
ODATiO integrated with the
facility’s automation
infrastructure, including
X-PTS shuttle systems and
zone-to-zone picking. Once
fully operational, the site
will handle up to 15,000
orders daily with high-speed
precision.
JJ
Woo, General Manager at CJ
Logistics, said:
"Savoye has been an
exceptionally responsive and
collaborative partner
throughout this journey.
Their ability to adapt to
our evolving business needs
and timelines has been
instrumental in successfully
launching this complex
project, especially within
the high-performance,
fast-paced environment of
Riyadh Integrated, SILZ’s
first airport logistics
zone”.
This
implementation reflects the
strong alliance between
Savoye, CJ Logistics, and
SILZ Company—each playing a
strategic role in delivering
a smart, scalable, and
high-throughput logistics
operation in the heart of
Saudi Arabia.
