Reaching The Apex 2018 in Review

Bastian Solutions | 06 November 2018

A Recap of Bastian Solutions’ Supply Chain and Logistics Forum

 

Bastian Solutions’ inaugural Reaching the Apex event, a supply chain and logistics forum, was successfully held on September 18-20 at the Hilton Garden Inn in downtown Indianapolis. Clients from multiple sectors including apparel, spare parts and health and beauty came to the event and walked away with actionable insights specific to their company through this exclusive one-to-one consulting experience.

Experts from Bastian Solutions kicked off day one of Reaching The Apex by leading educational seminars covering a wide breadth of material handling and supply chain topics. Clients were shown varying types of material handling technology and provided key rules of thumb and measure for identifying where these technologies may be a good fit in their operations. Our supply chain software experts also dove into the difference and overlap of functionality between WMS, WCS, WES, and LMS products from major suppliers.

After investing in the classroom education, Apex attendees were provided private tours of highly automated distribution facilities across the Midwest. Facilities visited showcased an array of technology including AutoStore, Opex Perfect Pick, and Bastian Solutions conveyor.

Day three of Reaching The Apex featured the highly anticipated and customized one-to-one consulting sessions. Our consultants worked with each company to gather relevant data prior to the event to facilitate a client-focused consulting session. Consultants worked with the attendees to identify operational areas of opportunity, potential material handling technologies to meet their needs, and long-term facility plans. Day three was the culmination of the event and was designed to give attendees actionable items unique to their business.

Bastian Solutions’ inaugural Reaching The Apex event combined education, facility tours and one-to-one consulting for a unique conference experience. As our teams looks to implement feedback from this year’s attendees to shape and refine Reaching The Apex, we look forward to launching our next Reaching The Apex event in Fall 2020.
