Kenco Recognized for Innovation and Impact with Inaugural Elite Partner of the Year Award from GreyOrange

Honored for vision, collaboration and commitment to setting a new standard for AI-powered warehouse operations

ATLANTA, April 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GreyOrange, a global leader in AI-powered multi-agent warehouse orchestration software, has awarded its inaugural Elite Partner of the Year award to leading third-party logistics (3PL) provider Kenco. The award recognizes Kenco’s commitment to co-innovation in customer deployments across a wide variety of market sectors. David Caines, Chief Operations Officer of Kenco, and Jason Minghini, Kenco’s Senior Vice President of Supply Chain, are both recognized for their strategic insight in uniting future-focused innovation with daily operations excellence.

The partnership between Kenco and GreyOrange aims to scale warehouse automation and operational efficiency across Kenco’s facilities. Kenco has deployed GreyOrange’s multi-agent warehouse orchestration platform, GreyMatter, to synchronize people, processes, and robotic systems in complex and continuously evolving distribution environments. Beginning with the deployment of Ranger Intralogistics (RIL) robotic agents at one site in 2024, the initiative quickly met expected outcomes and expanded to new sites. With multiple sites having consistently met SLAs and operational KPIs for multiple quarters, Kenco and GreyOrange made a commitment to deploy a multitude of robotic agents across 20 sites, with a further 50 sites being targeted. The scaled operation will encompass RIL as well as Rack-to-Person (RTP) robotic agents, all integrated with GreyMatter.

The strategic partnership between Kenco and GreyOrange is setting a new standard for the ways 3PLs deliver value to their customers. One live Distribution Center site reports a 20% saving in transportation costs due to fewer trailers being required, a 30% reduction in pallets per order, and an 80% improvement in cases per hour throughput. A new Kenco Innovation Lab will showcase GreyMatter orchestrating robotic agents from multiple vendors to demonstrate the potential efficiencies for customers.

“We’re honored to be recognized and reciprocate GreyOrange’s appreciation of our partnership over the past few years. They have helped us deliver value to our customers and solve unique challenges within our warehouses,” said Chief Operations Officer at Kenco, David Caines.

“Every leader at Kenco is committed to delivering efficient, innovative, and scalable solutions to their customers,” said Rik Schrader, Chief Revenue Officer at GreyOrange. “They are leading the 3PL industry in defining how they evaluate their automation efforts and measure customer success for their customers.”

“Kenco is thankful for GreyOrange’s partnership and shared commitment to our customers. Beyond bots, their GreyMatter system has become a critical part of our innovation roadmap. Looking forward to more years!” said Jason Minghini, Senior Vice President of Supply Chain Solutions.
