Pandora partnered with Hardis Supply Chain to deploy Hardis WMS, a configurable warehouse management system designed to standardize and modernize the jeweler’s global warehousing. The phased program began in Europe and Thailand and is being configured to support Pandora’s complex mix of owned crafting sites and third-party logistics partners.
Hardis WMS was chosen after an extensive vendor review and was customized to accommodate Pandora’s regional workflows, inventory models and fulfillment channels, with the next expansion slated for Pandora’s North America distribution center in summer 2026. Early results included improved real-time inventory visibility, faster handling and higher stock accuracy.
For consumers and retail partners, the rollout means more reliable order fulfillment and better product availability as Pandora scales; the adaptable WMS also supports the retailer’s growth and sustainability objectives by enabling more precise inventory orchestration across regions.
