“We have some exciting announcements to make at FLOW this year,” says Gillan Hawkes, VP of Product at 6 River Systems. “We’ll be giving our guests an early look at our latest product enhancements, focusing on improving operations beyond picking. That includes everything from inbound receiving to outbound shipping and everything in between. Like all of our solutions, these capabilities are simple, flexible and efficient and integrate easily with our customers’ existing systems.”

In addition to the many speaking sessions, FLOW 2020 will offer 10 different networking opportunities including family-friendly events, workshops and the return of Fit@FLOW - which in previous years featured a bike ride with CEO Jerome Dubois along the Charles River in Boston and a HIIT workout on the stairs at MIT’s Steinbrenner Stadium. “This year’s Fit@FLOW will feel a little different since it will take place in your living room or office, but we plan to step up our game with remote yoga sessions and bootcamps led by Olympic athletes,” says Chris Lingamfelter, VP of Sales at 6 River Systems.
