Hear directly from our experts—Sue, Simon, & James —who share real-world trends, new data findings, and actionable productivity insights

• Early look at our retail benchmarking report launch 
• Why benchmarking gives context beyond raw task times 
• The real cost of replenishment and movement waste 
• Impact of returning stock to backroom and double handling 
• Lean-inspired fixes: batching, pull signals, one-touch flow 
• Resource vs demand mismatches driving “keep busy” habits 
• Per-item cost insights and how to track them
