11.00-11.30	Improve cash flow, delivery accuracy and customer service with ePOD. Adoption of ePOD is one the increase as companies running their own delivery operation look for ways to cut the costs caused by missing or incomplete deliveries. The benefits of ePOD extend across  the business, improving cash-flow and customer service by ensuring greater accuracy and reducing disputes.  Pay as you go options from OBS logistics make these solutions more affordable for smaller and mid-sized organisations. In this session we will share our experience of helping our clients to access the multiple benefits of using ePOD either as a stand-alone system, or as part of an integrated transport management system to increase visibility across the supply chain with real-time information.
11.45-12.15	Make your warehouse earn its keep with a return on investment that can truly speak for itself. Come and hear what the UK’s leading voice solution provider has to say on the matter. Voice is no-longer the new kid on the block but the solution of choice for warehouses looking to increase accuracy and productivity, as well as future proof operations. Like with any other project, a business case must be made. During this session VoiteQ will provide you with real scenarios from customers who have experienced rapid ROI gains from implementing VoiceMan solutions. Come and hear how VoiteQ’s voice-users across the UK are positively impacting the bottom-line through the varied benefits that voice provides. Learn how you could do the same with tips and tricks on how to make a winning voice ROI case and see your warehouse pay you back. Anton du Preez, Sales Director, VoiteQ
12.30-13.00	How to improve efficiency in your warehouse and picking processes through automated storage solutions You can significantly improve the efficiency of picking operations by over 60% while still saving up to 70% of your floor space using either vertical or horizontal automated storage solutions. When traditional warehouse operations can be partly or fully automated, operational costs can be minimized and picking times improved. Dexion and Constructor Group warehouse solutions can provide integrated and combined storage solutions for your warehouse. This seminar will investigate the the benefits of Vertical and horizontal storage machines in the warehouse.” Oskari Lindstedt, Constructor Group Machines Export Manager  & Mark Cummings, Dexion UK Sales Manager
13.15-13.45	Supply Chain Execution on the Cloud: myth or reality? Cloud-based solutions for the warehouse and supply chain: myth or reality? The logistics function has not always been the most rapid or eager adopter of new technology, but the Cloud revolution changes all that. This session seeks to demonstrate that Cloud-based warehouse management and other supply chain execution solutions can be rapidly and cheaply deployed, driving value as well as cost reduction. The session highlights some of the technology, functional and flexibility benefits of a pay-as-you-go financial model, as well as providing guidance on where Cloud or Software as a Service might not be the best option. Jez Tongue, Partner
14.00-14.30	Warehouse layout design and simulation tools for exploring the possible!  Thinking of investing in a new warehouse or re-mapping your existing one for more space, improved through-put or better efficiency? Cirrus Logistics is here to show you how its layout design and simulation software – CLASS – can help you do just that and ensure that you get it right first time, avoiding any costly issues that might otherwise arise. During this presentation you will be shown how its simplicity is second-to-none, meaning that warehouse professionals are able to map out ‘what-if’ scenarios and test-out situations in a safe IT-based environment without needing specialist programming skills or complex, error-prone spread sheets. You will also be the first to see the Next Generation of CLASS that will be officially launched during the show. Chris Staddon, CLASS New Business Sales, Cirrus Logistics
