Podcast | Have a Good Trip! The Journey to Logistics Automation

July 11, 2025

If picking the right systems for automating logistics is a journey, how do you even get out the door?

 There are so many applications on the market today for automating distribution and logistics. The problem lies in picking the right one. How do you make sure you’re on the right path? On this episode, we get guidance on the process of selecting and implementing systems for distribution operations. Our guest is Andrew Jackson, North American business development manager with AutoStore. He explains how to get started with a technology implementation, the perils you might face along the way, and why it’s so important to define from the very start who you are, and what is your project goal. The benefits are clear, but the journey to achieving them can be hazardous. Hosted by Bob Bowman, Editor-in-Chief of SupplyChainBrain.
