On and Verity Collaborate to Revolutionize Supply Chain Operations with AI and Robotics

On, a global sportswear brand, and Verity, a company specializing in AI and robotics, have announced a strategic collaboration to revolutionize warehouse operations and optimize inventory management. This partnership is set to enhance supply chain efficiency and precision significantly.

By leveraging fleets of fully autonomous drones, On and Verity aim to achieve full operational visibility through smart, real-time inventory tracking. This technological advancement will minimize stockouts, misplacements, and shrinkage across the supply chain, ensuring flawless order fulfillment for both retail and e-commerce sectors.

As one of the fastest-growing sportswear brands, On seeks to maintain its growth trajectory by utilizing every technical advantage available. Verity, known for its expertise in AI and robotics, has been identified as the ideal partner. Verity’s solution performs millions of fully autonomous inventory checks each month in over 80 warehouses worldwide.

The collaboration is expected to deliver tangible business value by improving product availability at On's customer touchpoints—both physical stores and online. This will maximize successful order fulfillment by enhancing the accuracy and timeliness of deliveries. Verity clients typically see their operational issue rates reduced from 5-12% to less than 1%, significantly boosting labor efficiency within warehouses.

Already operational at a US facility, Verity’s fleet of autonomous drones scans On products daily, ensuring full stock availability for customer fulfillment. This system is already improving key performance indicators (KPIs) and supporting On's objectives to build more sustainable supply chains. Verity clients report an average reduction of 1,000 tons of CO2 emissions per warehouse each year.

Caspar Coppetti, Co-Founder and Executive Co-Chairman at On, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: “We are excited to partner with Verity to transform our supply chain operations. Verity is a pioneering brand in AI and robotics, aligning perfectly with On’s values of harnessing innovation for customer benefit. This collaboration aims to improve operational efficiency, sustainability, and customer satisfaction.”

Raffaello D’Andrea, Co-Founder and CEO at Verity, echoed this sentiment: “At Verity, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of AI and robotics for operational excellence. Partnering with On, a leading sportswear brand, offers a unique opportunity to leverage our shared commitment to technology and customer experience. Our systems boast over 99.99% reliability, ensuring exceptional performance.”

This collaboration between two pioneering Swiss brands underscores their shared commitment to using groundbreaking technology to deliver superior customer experiences. Both On and Verity are dedicated to achieving supply chain operational excellence to build customer excellence.

On, founded in the Swiss Alps in 2010, aims to ignite the human spirit through movement. The brand offers innovative footwear, apparel, and accessories for various activities and is present in more than 60 countries globally.

Verity delivers AI-powered mobile intelligence for industries reliant on fast and efficient supply chains. Its system performs millions of autonomous inventory checks, providing valuable insights for greater operational efficiencies and more sustainable supply chains.
