How we calculate the even ScoreFew reviews so far
The even Score (0 to 100) sets the order of solutions. It is based only on published reviews:
- 85% quality: the average of performance, reliability and maintenance effort per review.
- Recency: newer reviews count more. After two years, a review counts only half as much.
- Smoothing: with few reviews, the value is pulled towards a fixed middle value of 3.5 stars, as if three reviews with 3.5 stars were added. So only solutions with several good and recent reviews reach a high score.
- 15% recommendation: the share of reviewers who would recommend the solution (4 or 5 out of 5).
- The even Score is shown from 3 reviews. Below that you see stars and the number of reviews, and the solution is listed after all with a visible score. On a tie, the number of reviews decides.
None of this can be bought: plans, advertising and co-marketing play no part.

„Strong partner for the development and implementation of new logistics concepts“
Kardex was the only integrator that demonstrated both the technical depth and the willingness to develop a complete end-to-end solution for our specific challenge. The jointly developed solution creates an efficient goods flow and enables the consistent consolidation of pallet and AutoStore picks within an integrated process.
The collaboration with Kardex was convincing across all project phases. From the initial concept through to final implementation, Kardex acted with flexibility, a solution-oriented mindset and strong expertise. New requirements were quickly absorbed and jointly translated into efficient, sustainable concepts.
Very satisfied. Throughout the project there were numerous questions, changes and ambiguities. Kardex responded flexibly at every stage – from the preparation of the proposal through to implementation – and was always willing to find pragmatic, collaborative solutions.
The technical objectives were fully achieved. There were delays in the implementation timeline, however these were attributable solely to external factors – in particular, strike-related delivery failures at the ports. The project was managed globally and implemented locally. It became apparent that the competencies of the local Kardex teams were not at the same level across all regions.
