In this episode of Rack and Roll: Future Proofing Your Warehouse, we explore what it really takes to turn continuous improvement from a one-time initiative into an everyday operational mindset. As AI, advanced analytics, and warehouse technology continue to evolve, many organizations struggle to move from simply having data to taking meaningful action.
Join host Ashley Feldpausch as she sits down with Eric Payton, Director of North America Presales at Blue Yonder, to discuss how organizations can successfully adopt continuous improvement, build trust in AI-driven insights, and create a culture that embraces ongoing optimization.
With more than 25 years of experience in warehouse management, supply chain execution, and cloud transformation, Eric shares practical insights on using AI to support operational decision-making, empowering warehouse teams with actionable data, and scaling innovation without disrupting daily operations.
