Kid and Hemtex - Selects IMI’s warehouse and delivery management system for optimized logistics

Linköping, Sweden – February 25, 2025 – Kid ASA, a leading Nordic retail chain specializing in home interior and textiles and the owner of Hemtex in Sweden, is now live with both the WMS and delivery management system from Nordic-based IMI Supply Chain Solutions.

The systems are fully operational following the centralization of Kid and Hemtex’s warehouse operations to Viared, outside Borås. As part of this transition, the warehouse operations for its sister company, Kid Interiør—Norway’s equivalent to Hemtex with 158 stores—have also moved to the Viared facility. This co-location reflects the company’s commitment to delivering excellent customer service while optimizing logistics processes across the Kid Group. By leveraging IMI’s solutions, Kid and Hemtex aim to strengthen their position as the leading Nordic retail chain for home textiles and interior. In total, Kid ASA operates approximately 280 stores across Norway, Sweden, Estonia, and Finland.

IMI’s warehouse management system provides functionality to streamline warehouse processes, including automated order handling, customs management, and intelligent route optimization within the warehouse. By integrating IMI’s WMS into their operations, Kid and Hemtex achieve significant improvements in warehouse productivity.

In addition to the warehouse management system, Kid and Hemtex have also implemented IMI’s delivery management system. With an extensive network of connected carriers and features like digital customs handling, the system enables reliable and efficient multi carrier parcel management, ultimately enhancing the customer experience.

“A product or service is only as strong as the culture and the people behind it,” says Frode Finnes Larsen, CTO at Kid ASA. “That’s why we moved away from traditional RFP processes in favour of genuine dialogues, where we could meet the people behind the systems. This is exactly why we chose IMI – the culture, the attitude, and the people, combined with IMI’s highly configurable solutions, give us the freedom to control our own development. We look forward to a rewarding partnership with IMI.”

 

“We are excited about this important collaboration with IMI to take our warehouse and delivery management to the next level,” says Eivind Disen, Logistics and Warehouse Manager at Kid ASA. “IMI’s solutions align perfectly with our commitment to providing excellent service, proximity, and seamless deliveries to our customers. We believe that IMI’s supply chain solutions will further strengthen our competitive position in the market.”

 

“We look forward to supporting Kid and Hemtex in their pursuit of world-class supply chain,” says Niklas Rönnbäck, CEO of IMI. “Our goal is to help our customers create more sustainable supply chain flows with innovative solutions that drive efficiency and enhance customer satisfaction. We are excited to work closely with Kid and Hemtex to drive continued growth and success together.”
