EPG Ehrhardt Partner Group (operating as Ehrhardt + Partner GmbH & Co. KG) is a Germany-based, privately held software provider specializing in supply chain execution solutions. Founded in 1989 and headquartered in Boppard-Buchholz, the company serves more than 1,600 customers across primary verticals including manufacturing, food and beverage, third-party logistics, retail/e-commerce, and aviation, with additional presence in chemicals, pharmaceuticals, automotive, and electronics. EPG operates 23 locations across the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East, supported by a global workforce of 1,000+ employees.

The company's core offering is the EPG ONE suite, which combines warehouse management (LFS), warehouse control (WCS), dock management (DOCK), route optimization (Greenplan), multi-carrier shipping (ISS), workforce management, contract and billing, and a supply chain control tower (TIMESQUARE) into a single integrated platform. Overlaid on this is EPG AURA, an AI-native environment providing intelligent video analytics, intelligent document processing, semantic knowledge retrieval, conversational intelligence, autonomous orchestration, and intelligent configuration management. The LYDIA Voice sub-brand provides voice-directed picking using deep neural network technology, supporting features such as real-time translation across 40+ languages, gamification, and parallel operation with legacy voice systems. EPG also offers aviation-specific ground and cargo handling solutions and a portfolio of consulting services spanning AI, intralogistics strategy, warehouse planning, retrofitting, and TMS advisory.

EPG generates revenue primarily through recurring software licensing and subscriptions across cloud and on-premise deployments, supplemented by professional services including implementation, consulting, 24/7 support, and EPG Academy training. The company goes to market through direct enterprise sales supplemented by implementation partners such as ASW Global Consulting, with active lead generation at industry events including LogiMAT, MODEX, and GHI Americas. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Strategic partnerships with Microsoft (for Azure-hosted AI-native deployment), ROSSMANN (co-development of LYDIA Live Translation), and certified integrations with SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, and Infor anchor the company's ecosystem.

Scale indicators12 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• SAP (Extended Warehouse Management): SAP EWM is a Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader in WMS, bundled into the broader SAP ERP suite. EPG maintains certified SAP integrations but competes for the standalone WMS layer in SAP-shops.
• Oracle (WMS Cloud / SCM): Oracle's WMS Cloud and SCM suite sit inside the Oracle Cloud Applications portfolio. Direct competitor to EPG's LFS for Oracle-shop enterprises; EPG lists Oracle as a certified integration partner.
• Zebra Technologies (Workflow / Voice): Zebra's workforce connectivity and voice solutions (formerly Motorola/Symbol) overlap with EPG's LYDIA Voice and VoiceWear hardware. Zebra is a much larger enterprise hardware/software incumbent competing for warehouse execution budgets.
• Honeywell Vocollect (Voice Solutions): Honeywell's Vocollect voice-directed warehouse solutions compete with LYDIA Voice. Honeywell also sells adjacent warehouse automation that competes with EPG's WCS, making it a broad incumbent rather than a direct WMS-only peer.

Emerging players

• Softeon: Mid-market WMS and supply chain execution vendor with comparable offerings to EPG LFS, particularly in 3PL and distribution. Smaller and less globally scaled than EPG but a credible competing choice for similar buyers.

Others

• Locus Robotics: Warehouse robotics vendor whose autonomous mobile robots integrate with WMS platforms including EPG-adjacent stacks. Adjacent rather than direct competitor, but increasingly bundled into the same warehouse execution RFPs that include EPG's WCS and LFS.

Direct peers

• Descartes Systems Group: Logistics-focused software platform offering WMS, TMS, routing, and customs solutions. Closely comparable to EPG's WMS + Greenplan routing portfolio and similarly strong in 3PL and cross-border logistics.
• Blue Yonder: Panasonic-owned WMS and supply chain planning suite and Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader. Competes head-to-head with EPG LFS and is also pursuing AI-augmented supply chain orchestration similar to EPG AURA.
• Manhattan Associates: Public US-based supply chain execution and WMS vendor named as a Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader. Directly competes with EPG's LFS for large enterprise WMS deals across retail, manufacturing, and 3PL.
• Körber (Supply Chain / WMS): Körber's WMS business (formerly HighJump) is a Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader and one of EPG's closest direct WMS competitors, particularly strong in Europe and 3PL verticals that overlap heavily with EPG's customer base.
