Who We Are
Traditional retailers, medical suppliers, industrial distributors, fast moving consumer goods companies, multi-channel merchants and eCommerce enterprises build their businesses on Kiva solutions. We are all about making our customers' distribution centers into strategic operations that deliver competitive advantage. The Kiva Mobile-robotic Fulfillment System is a unique high tech material handling system that simultaneously improves speed, accuracy, productivity and flexibility. Every distribution center (DC) strives to attain flexible, efficient order fulfillment but struggles with the limitations of traditional tools. Kiva Systems creates innovative order fulfillment solutions that eliminate the constraints of existing warehouse automation and puts you back in control. With Kiva, you pick faster, pack perfect and ship now.
What We Do
Kiva's complete warehouse automation solution is sometimes compared to an automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS), but it's so much more - more flexible, more accurate, more productive, much easier to use and more cost effective. Kiva is a goods-to-man order picking and fulfillment system like no other, and widely recognized as the leader in eCommerce fulfillment solutions. In distribution centers, warehouses and manufacturing plants equipped with Kiva solutions, operators stand still while the products come to them. Pallets, cases, and orders are stored on mobile inventory shelves that are picked up and moved by a fleet of robotic drive units. The robots deliver shelves to ergonomic work stations that are fitted with technology, fixtures and other tools that simplify each worker's tasks from order picking to packing to shipping to quality control. As a result, any product can go to any operator at any time to fill any order.
