Addverb Technologies Ltd. yesterday unveiled a new collaboration with DHL Supply Chain in North America. The partners have deployed 52 Zippy sorting robots at a distribution center in Columbus, Ohio. Addverb’s enterprise software platform powers the robots to enable DHL Supply Chain to scale and maximize throughput for the facility.
“DHL Supply Chain has greatly improved sorting rates, accuracy and efficiency,” stated Sriram Sridhar, chief revenue officer at Addverb Americas. “[We] could not be more excited about the partnership with DHL Supply Chain and look forward to the continued growth of the partnership.”
Founded in 2016, Addverb offers fixed and flexible systems for material movement, storage, sortation, reverse logistics, and picking. The Noida, India-based company, which has offices in California and Colorado, said its core offerings enable clients like DHL to easily integrate efficient and scalable automation systems into their current infrastructures.

Addverb software orchestrates material movement
DHL Supply Chain is currently using Addverb’s enterprise software, providing clients to integrate and use different warehouse management layers for warehouse management systems (WMS), warehouse execution systems (WES), warehouse control systems (WCS), and fleet management software (FMS) across their distribution operations.
With the integration of the sortation system, DHL said its Columbus distribution center more than tripled throughput and efficiency.
“We’re very pleased with the partnership between DHL Supply Chain and Addverb,” said Don Sweeney, general manager of DHL’s Columbus facility. “Our project timelines, requirements, and deliverables have all been met by Addverb, and it has allowed us to realize an over 300% increase in throughput capability at the Columbus, Ohio, site without having to add more staff to the team.”
DHL Supply Chain is now fully utilizing Addverb’s automation. It has added the sortation robots to its existing fleet at the distribution center, which already has assisted-picking and container-unloading robots.
