Geek+Speak: The Logistics Automation Podcast www.geekplus.com

In 2023, Geek+ Picking System smart software handles all the organizing, analysis and data crunching when it comes to product slotting. Our bots simply rearrange the product for you at night and during down time.

Product slotting—the term logistics professionals use for the process of organizing and optimizing SKUS in a warehouse or distribution center.

In this episode (which is part one of a two-part analysis of slotting) we’ll take you back and remember how warehouses were traditionally organized.

We’ll hear some slotting disaster tales from our guests…

And this is all in anticipation of part two, where you’ll hear all about how automation has revolutionized the slotting game!

"Pockets of people who have been very successful in their career tend to come from a very tight-knit group that was highly focused on something and went through huge challenges together," says Jing Jin, Head of Solutions at Geek+ America.

In the second half of this two-part interview, Jing Jin, Head of Solutions at Geek+ America:
💡Focuses on hiring strategies to maximize your team
💡Talks about how Geek+ continues to find solutions for the tightening of the labor market post-COVID
💡Gives some inspiring advice on tackling burnout while ceaselessly pursuing excellence
