POCO sitting comfortably with new WMS

German furniture retailer POCO has gone live with a new warehouse management system (WMS) from Infios at its Trebbin logistics centre

The deployment marks the first milestone in a multi-site programme to standardise and modernise supply chain execution across POCO’s nationwide logistics network.

Furniture logistics presents distinct challenges, including bulky and heavy goods, variable packaging formats, and, in particular, multi-package items that must be stored, picked and shipped as coherent units while maintaining full transparency at the component level. These requirements demand a high level of execution intelligence, orchestration and real-time visibility that traditional ERP-based modules are not designed to deliver.

By implementing Infios WM, POCO is decoupling warehouse execution from ERP and establishing a modular, best-of-breed architecture purpose-built for intelligent supply chain execution. The solution enables standardised core processes across sites while flexibly adapting workflows, automation interfaces, and labour processes – including those unique to large-item and multi-package handling.

The Trebbin go-live at the end of 2025 serves as the blueprint for further rollout. A second site will follow in 2026, with the remaining locations implemented using reusable templates and industry-specific configurations to accelerate time to value.
