Over the past year, Rickard has helped Cimcorp customers across a multitude of verticals—including cold food distribution—implement automation for improved speed, flexibility, and resilience in the face of ongoing supply chain challenges. He is passionate about developing roadmaps for long-term customer success, working one-on-one with each company to evaluate their warehousing data, infrastructure, inventory, and throughput to highlight where automated solutions will provide the biggest impact and cost savings.

The right solution can help facilities optimize end-to-end order fulfillment operations to overcome their toughest challenges and meet evolving business needs. So whether the goal is to fill operational gaps caused by labor shortages, to empower the workforce with the tools to work better and safer, to meet customer demands for order speed, or even to support sustainability initiatives—automation can bring peace of mind to any warehousing and distribution operations,” commented Rickard. “I am proud to help companies begin their automation journey with Cimcorp as their long-term strategic partner.
