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!
