A word from our founder

“When I started K3S in 1990, I set out on a mission to provide the most effective warehouse replenishment solutions on the market to companies of all sizes. I've never focused on being the largest software company, only in being the best. Since the beginning, I placed a much larger emphasis on customer service and training than my competition. This has allowed us to create incredibly loyal customers. As K3S has grown, we have focused on building our team with people who share the same philosophy. We can’t be successful unless our customers are!”
