Ensuring your supply chain is performing to the maximum takes open and frank conversations with team members who are responsible for their particular part of the operation, and in whom you trust.

These technologies are designed to provide different levels of increased picking productivity, warehouse throughput and improved accuracy. However understanding all that is available can be a minefield and sometimes companies can be misled into purchasing a technology that is not suited to their operation.
