Supply chain, logistics, and operations executives are urged to secure their final seats for this half-day session in Randburg, designed to provide a practical roadmap for businesses navigating the sector’s digital transition.
Titled “From Warehouse to High-Performance Distribution Engine: Driving Efficiency through Digitalisation, Technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI)” and proudly sponsored by ISB Optimus and Powerfleet, the event moves beyond theoretical industry trends. Instead, it offers pragmatic insights for CEOs, Operations Directors, and Warehouse Managers looking to optimise storage facilities into high-speed, data-driven distribution operations.
