How to Provide Simpler Alternatives to Complex Material Handling Systems

Supply Chain Now

What are point solutions? What problems can they solve? Why is it a good approach for companies that are starting out on their automation journeys?

In this episode of Supply Chain Now, we have two experts with a combined experience of more than 35 years of experience in materials handling and global supply chain strategy.

Both are from Bastian Solutions, a Toyota Advanced Logistics company that specializes in the design and delivery of distribution and production solutions for clients in the United States, Canada, India, the Middle East, Mexico and South America. Alex Haines is the company’s Manager of New Business Development, and he joins hosts Scott Luton and Kevin L. Jackson alongside VP of Global Sales and Applications, Matt Kuper.

During the conversation, Alex and Matt introduce and explain the merits of a point solutions approach to automating supply chain and warehousing processes. With relatively few barriers to entry, they outline how ‘becoming smart’ can be broken down into manageable pieces and projects which can be taken care of one step at a time.

Tune in as the duo draws on their vast experience to provide valuable insights on this and a range of other topics. Listen out for…

· How organizations can cut through the sea of supply chain automation technologies and make sure they select the right options.

· The importance of having smart people around you.

· Why aftersales support is critical to making the most out of automation solutions
