MercuryGate International

What MercuryGate International does

MercuryGate International Inc. is a transportation management system (TMS) vendor founded in 2000 and headquartered in Cary, North Carolina. It provides a multimodal, SaaS-based TMS used by shippers and logistics service providers for order management, shipment tendering, rate management, load planning, fleet management, dock scheduling, documentation and settlement, visibility tracking, and business analytics. MercuryGate historically competed in the enterprise TMS segment alongside Oracle OTM, SAP TM, and Blue Yonder, and built a sub-product portfolio through acquisitions including TranSolutions (2019), Cheetah Software Systems (2021), Cleartrack Information Network (2022), and International Trade Systems (2023). Summit Partners and earlier Warburg Pincus were institutional investors prior to the 2024 transaction.

In August 2024, Körber Supply Chain Software — a joint venture between Germany's Körber AG and KKR — announced the acquisition of MercuryGate, completing the deal in October 2024 for an undisclosed amount. The transaction repositioned MercuryGate's TMS as one of three core product pillars (alongside Körber's WMS and OMS) inside what is now branded Infios. In April 2025, the Körber/KKR joint venture rebranded as Infios, presenting an Intelligent Supply Chain Execution platform in which Infios AI is embedded directly into OMS, WMS, and TMS rather than layered on top, with stated capability for autonomous disruption response across all four forms of AI. Körber had already been recognized as a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for WMS for the eighth consecutive year, and MercuryGate was named a 2024 Great Supply Chain Partner by Supply Chain Management Review.

Infios / MercuryGate's go-to-market relies on enterprise field sales through the global Körber / Infios distribution network, with indirect distribution also supported via partner channels. Customer references include Adore Beauty, FabFitFun, Hawesko, SS Activewear, Strauss, Titan Brands, and Spirit Halloween — spanning retail, apparel, wine/spirits, and seasonal goods — alongside broader reach into markets served through Körber/Infios in over 70 countries with 5,000+ customers worldwide. Pricing models and per-customer contract values are not publicly disclosed, and the company does not publish standalone revenue or ARR figures.

Core offering

MercuryGate International develops and delivers a cloud-based Transportation Management System (TMS) used by shippers, third-party logistics providers (3PLs), and freight brokers to plan, execute, settle, and analyze the movement of goods across parcel, less-than-truckload (LTL), and truckload modes. The platform combines order management, carrier procurement, load optimization, dock and yard scheduling, real-time visibility, and freight audit/settlement, and is complemented by implementation and managed services for enterprise supply chain organizations.

Product overview

Infios (formerly Körber Supply Chain Software following its acquisition of MercuryGate) offers an integrated Intelligent Supply Chain Execution platform combining three core systems: Infios Transportation Management™ (built on MercuryGate's multimodal, SaaS-based TMS), Infios Warehouse Management™, and Infios Order Management™. These systems share decisions, coordinate actions, and resolve disruptions in real time. Infios AI is embedded directly into all three core systems, not layered on top, enabling autonomous decision-making. The portfolio includes modular sub-products such as Final Mile, Claims Management, Shipment & Order Visibility, Global Trade Solutions, Freight Audit and Payment, and Direct Store Delivery under the transportation suite, with similar modular offerings under warehouse and order management.
