Kenco and GreyOrange signed a five-year partnership, where the 3PL provider will utilize the multi-agent orchestration platform GreyMatter across its facilities.
Third-party logistics (3PL) provider Kenco announced a long-term partnership with GreyOrange, a global provider of AI-driven warehouse orchestration software.
Over the next five years, Kenco said it will deploy GreyOrange’s GreyMatter Multi-Process Orchestration Platform (MPOP) across its network of fulfillment centers, supported by fleets of robotic technologies from GreyOrange’s Certified Ranger Network.
Kenco said the collaboration underscores its commitment to redefining fulfillment in the 3PL market by integrating orchestration technology that synchronizes people, processes and robotic systems across complex and continuously evolving distribution environments.
“This partnership accelerates our ability to deliver the most advanced, efficient, and scalable solutions to our customers,” said Kristi Montgomery, VP of Innovation, Research & Development at Kenco. “With GreyOrange’s GreyMatter orchestration platform, we can optimize every fulfillment process while maintaining the flexibility our customers expect from a 3PL partner.”
Unlike traditional warehouse management or point automation, Kenco said GreyMatter’s AI-driven platform optimizes the flow of work end-to-end, from receiving to put away, with optimal slotting strategies, through real-time replenishment (synchronizing proactive replenishment, pre-positioning high-demand SKUs ahead of peaks, with reactive replenishment that triggers tasks in real time to prevent stockouts and bottlenecks), dynamic case picking against SLAs, and pick-and-pass order fulfillment across multiple processes, all the way to sortation and dock requirements.
By continuously releasing and prioritizing work in real time, Kenco said that GreyMatter removes the reliance on static shipping and receiving offices that create tasks in a traditional WMS, which results in a true waveless environment where activity is orchestrated seamlessly from inbound to outbound.
“We built GreyMatter to empower forward-thinking 3PLs like Kenco,” said Akash Gupta, co-founder & CEO of GreyOrange. “Together, we’re setting a new standard for how 3PLs deliver value - combining Kenco’s deep operational expertise with the intelligence and flexibility of GreyMatter.”
Kenco and GreyOrange recently gave the keynote presentation at the 2025 Robotics Applications Conference, describing multi-agent orchestration in the warehouse.
