Infios Adds MercuryGate to Solution Portfolio

Infios completed the acquisition of MercuryGate International in October, combining two organizations focused on meeting supply chain technology needs.

“The acquisition of MercuryGate is a significant accelerator to provide our customers with the flexibility to choose best-in-class products or integrate suites that best meet their specific operational and business needs,” said Ed Auriemma, CEO at Infios.

Infios Vice President of Sales-North America Craig Moore discusses the MercuryGate acquisition in a recent interview with Supply Chain Management Review.

This blog shares more details about how Infios and MercuryGate are better together through the insights of Infios leaders.

Infios + MercuryGate = Better Customer Outcomes

Infios VP of Sales-North America Craig Moore explained the MercuryGate acquisition during an interview at the 2024 CSCMP Edge Conference.

“We’ve done a really good job over the last decade-plus of putting together a portfolio of solutions that have enhanced the work that happens inside the four walls of a warehouse,” he said. “Now we’re going to go beyond that, and there’s a really important part to that: We feel that Infios, better than any vendor, has built a true, scalable, large-scale model of true multi-channel execution fulfillment.

“Now [we are] enhancing that with transportation management capabilities that are brought to us by MercuryGate,” Moore said. “And that continued connection with our customer’s customer is something that we’re really looking forward to being a true champion in not just the execution of fulfillment, but then also the delivery mechanism as well.”

MercuryGate Complements Best-in-Breed Infios Software Portfolio

Combining order management systems (OMS), warehouse management systems (WMS), and transportation management systems (TMS) offers supply chain users more control and visibility over the movement of goods from the point of origin through warehousing and fulfillment.

Technology users already depending on Infios get streamlined access to Final Mile, Visibility, Import & Export Logistics, and Claims. MercuryGate users tap into Körber’s portfolio of solutions, which is headlined by Manufacturing Logistics, Warehouse Automation, Parcel & Post Automation, and Freight Audit & Payment.

As more businesses need WMS, OMS, and TMS solutions, getting all those options from one company is attractive.

“Organizations are really focusing on, ‘I want the best of this. I want the best of this, I want the best of this,’” Moore said. “At the end of the day, we’ll figure out how to make it all work together. And I believe in our portfolio. We are in a position to say we have the best of all of those.”

Infios Focused on Meeting Customers “Where They Are”

“The acquisition of MercuryGate reinforces our commitment to meet our customers where they are, understand their unique challenges and deliver solutions that solve today’s issues while anticipating tomorrow’s opportunities,” said Ed Auriemma, CEO for Infios.

Further, Infios VP of Sales-North America Craig Moore told Supply Chain Management Review that the Infios build-out gives organizations a singular platform for serving customers.

“Insightful organizations are saying, well, status quo should never be good enough,” Moore said. “Are we doing enough to extend ourselves to be ready and to operate efficiently?

“And I think that’s the other part of what we’re trying to do is getting into conversations with organizations to say, ‘OK how can we help you tighten it up?’ so that the short-term benefit is that you’re running as efficiently as possible — you’re increasing your margins. And then, the long-term benefit is that you’re ready for the next challenge.
