Consafe Logistics Acquires Solid WMS

Consafe Logistics, a software product company delivering innovative Warehouse Management System (WMS), Warehouse Execution System (WES), and Warehouse Control Systems (WCS), has announced the strategic acquisition of Solid WMS, a Dutch SaaS-based Warehouse Management System (WMS) provider located in Breda, Netherlands.

This acquisition supports Consafe Logistics’ ambition to serve a broader range of warehouses and distribution centres including smaller, fast-moving warehouse operations. These customers need simplicity, speed, and value — without the advanced functionality and extensive capabilities that Astro WMS® offers for more complex operations.

Founded by three logistics and technology experts, Solid WMS has rapidly emerged as an innovative startup specializing in modern, native SaaS-based warehouse management solutions. Solid WMS is a great fit for manual warehouses with 5 to 30 operators in third-party logistics (3PL), retail, and e-commerce.

Kent Olsson, CEO Consafe Logistics Group, said, “We are very pleased to welcome Solid WMS into the Consafe Logistics family. Their product is tailormade for efficiency in less complex warehouses and perfectly complement our flagship Astro WMS®. Together, they allow us to serve a broader range of customers with different operational needs. This isn’t just a product fit — it’s a mindset fit. The Solid WMS team shares our focus on delivering customer value, and that’s why this partnership makes so much sense.”

Astro WMS® will continue to be Consafe Logistics’ premium solution, tailored specifically for mid-sized to large enterprises that require sophisticated functionality, scalability, and advanced automation integrations. Solid WMS broadens Consafe Logistics’ capabilities by offering a streamlined, SaaS-native alternative for customers with simpler needs — ensuring a right-fit solution, every time.

Remco Somers, Functional Lead for Solid WMS, commented, “Joining Consafe Logistics is an exciting step forward for us. We look forward to combining our innovation-driven technology with Consafe Logistics’ extensive market experience to reach new customers and help them achieve greater operational efficiency. We’ll be able to scale faster and bring the benefits of our technology to even more companies.”

Saint-Gobain Selects new WMS

Saint-Gobain Abrasives, a global supplier of surface finishing solutions, has chosen Consafe Logistics’ Astro WMS to modernize operations at its European distribution centre 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 Centre at Saint-Gobain Abrasives, said, “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, added, “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.
