Your WMS is only as valuable as what you do with it. In this practical session, two industry experts map what separates high-performing warehouses from the rest - and show you how to close the gap in your own operation.

Most warehouses have moved beyond the basics of inventory control and order dispatch. The real performance gap has opened up elsewhere - in how labour and resources are orchestrated, how AI is applied to planning and forecasting, how picking and returns are managed end to end, and how business intelligence is used to predict tomorrow rather than report on yesterday.

Peter McLeod, Editor of Logistics Business Magazine, joins Eric Carter, Senior Solutions Consultant at Aptean, to explore the four capability areas that define warehouse performance maturity - drawing on the research behind Aptean's Warehouse Maturity Curve eBook to give you a practical, evidence-based roadmap for your own operation.
