Saint-Gobain Abrasives, a global leader in surface finishing solutions, has chosen Consafe Logistics’ Astro WMS to modernize operations at its European distribution center in Born, Netherlands. This collaboration makes Saint-Gobain Abrasives the latest Saint-Gobain business to partner with Consafe Logistics.
A Strategic Path to Automation with SaaS model
Astro WMS will replace Saint-Gobain Abrasives’ legacy system, providing a scalable solution that supports both current operations and future automation. The company sought a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model that would ensure seamless updates while enabling smooth integration with advanced technologies, such as conveyors and automated storage systems.
Hugo van Goor, Director of the European Distribution Center at Saint-Gobain Abrasives.
"Automation is key to our future operations, so it was essential to choose a WMS that could deliver the right integration capabilities. Consafe Logistics demonstrated they can support us with a reliable transition, improving our efficiency and accuracy through their adaptable SaaS solution”
A Collaborative Approach
Saint-Gobain Abrasives chose Consafe Logistics as its WMS partner for its collaborative approach. By fostering open dialogue and offering expert guidance, Consafe Logistics delivers solutions to address specific operational challenges.
"Consafe Logistics showed they understood our needs and had the confidence to question existing structures," shared Van Goor. "They encouraged us to think differently about our processes and supported us in aligning them with proven best practices."
Henk-Jan van Donkelaar, Managing Director Benelux, Consafe Logistics.
"We are proud to welcome another valued member of the Saint-Gobain group as a customer. We are excited to support Saint-Gobain Abrasives in driving efficiency and advancing automation with the same dedication and trusted partnership we’ve delivered across the group"
Scheduled to go live in Q3 2025, the implementation marks a joint effort to create a more agile and efficient warehouse operation.
