The morning is used to discuss product flow, SKU volume & range, order profiles and showcase the technology stack utilised onsite. Followed by an afternoon focussed on a tour of the facility showcasing upstream visibility, inventory management into order fulfilment, picking, packing & dispatch.

Nothing compares to seeing the operation live.

Scaling GenAI & Agentic AI is new to most, and has created a large amount of questions and problems - Our AI exchange is the perfect place to discuss these challenges openly and gain the insight and confidence your team needs to accelerate your AI journey
Testimonials
Head of Logistics CPG Industry, €30billion+ annual revenue
"After meeting Nicholas at an industry event, were spoke about the idea of running a Logistics exchange specifically focussed on DTC/E-COM customer fulfilment. The preparation Nicholas conducted to find a similar, non competitive company was great, and the pre-exchange planning calls he hosted for me to meet my peer and align on our share goals for the exchange really helped make the 2 days together a great success. We are now planning our next exchange in 2027."
