K2S

Last week, I attended Softeon Fulfill, an outstanding event that I eagerly anticipate each year. The growth and innovation Softeon has accomplished since last year are truly remarkable, and I am excited for what the future holds. At the event, we had the opportunity to engage with our customers and partners, and establish new connections that we look forward to collaborating with in the future. Thank you to Softeon for hosting a fantastic event and for being an exceptional partner for K2S. See you next year!

With all the excitement of Softeon Fulfill 2024 behind us, Tom Lukasiewicz, Scott Ehlke and Ankit Agarwal sat down to reflect on their time at the conference. Many things stood out - from the exceptional networking opportunities to the possibility to build meaningful relationships with different stakeholders thanks to the nature of the event. The team came back from the conference with renewed enthusiasm for the future of our Education Services and our partnership with Softeon. At the event, we got to speak with customers who shared how much our training has helped them (many even recognized Tom from the lessons), and we got to meet people who encouraged us to go deeper and offer even more complex lessons. It’s clear that there’s a real need for the kind of WMS education we’re creating, and we’re feeling more motivated than ever to continue to develop our offering in even more ways. Thank you to Softeon and everyone who made this such a memorable event. We can’t wait to come back next year with even more to share with the Softeon community.

Boots were on the ground! It was amazing being a part of the Softeon Fulfill conference last week, and it was a pleasure to represent K2S alongside my colleagues Ankit Agarwal and Scott Ehlke. Grateful for the chance to lead a breakout session and contribute to Softeon's long-term goals and vision that focuses on their client's needs. And big thanks to everyone who joined and shared such insightful ideas and new opportunities! Did you attend Fulfill? I’d love to hear what you thought about the event.

Day 2 of Softeon Fulfill 2024 was packed with inspiring talks and memorable conversations. We particularly enjoyed keynote speaker Nick Jankel’s energizing speech, which challenged us to think even bigger about our role as leaders in driving innovation and digital transformation within the industry. It was also a pleasure to hear from Softeon’s leadership team, including CEO Jim Hoefflin, who kicked off the day with a positive outlook on the future of WMS. And of course, Tom Lukasiewicz and Scott Ehlke leading K2S' first-ever breakout session was a real highlight for our team. A big thank you to everyone who joined us! Today is the last day to connect with Tom, Scott and Ankit Agarwal at Fulfill. Keep an eye out for them on the ground and connect with them here on LinkedIn. #K2S #WMSEvents #softeonfulfill24

And that’s a wrap for CSCMP’s EDGE Supply Chain Conference & Exhibition™ Edge 2024! I have to say I really enjoyed attending on behalf of K2S . The first thing I saw when arriving at the Gaylord Opryland in Nashville was Holiday decorations outside…. I was surprised but then I calculated it in my head. The holidays are just 86 days away! (How is that even possible?) My next thought was: Are supply chains ready? The answer is: YES! Even with the dock strike, thanks to Covid and many other challenges over the past years, today’s supply chains and logistic networks are agile and robust. Industry professionals have learned to pull together and work as a team to ensure goods arrive where they need to go. So, hang on and look forward to the Holidays (and the future), because we are all in this together - and everything will be great! #K2S #WMSEvent #Edge2024 #EDGE24

🚚 Common Struggles in WMS & WLM Implementations📦 In my experience, implementing Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and Warehouse Labor Management (WLM) solutions comes with several challenges: 1. Data Integrity Issues: Ensuring the accuracy and completeness of warehouse data is critical but often overlooked during implementation. 2. Change Management: Getting teams to adopt new systems and processes can be a hurdle, especially in environments where manual methods have been the norm for years. 3. System Integration: Seamlessly connecting WMS/WLM with existing ERP or other supply chain software requires technical expertise and a clear plan. 4. Training & User Adoption: Without proper training, even the most advanced systems can fail to deliver the expected benefits, leading to inefficiencies and frustration. 5. Tailored Configuration: Every warehouse operates differently, and a "one-size-fits-all" approach doesn't work. Customizing the system to fit the unique needs of the facility is crucial for success. At K2S, I help clients navigate these challenges and ensure a smooth Blue Yonder WMS/WLM implementation that delivers measurable improvements. Whether you're struggling with data, integration, or process adoption, I’d love to discuss how my team and I can help you optimize your warehouse operations. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to chat about how we can work together to streamline your implementation! #SupplyChain #WMS #WLM #WarehouseManagement #ProcessImprovement #BlueYonder
