Indianapolis, IN -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/23/2016 -- Bastian Solutions' Atlanta Regional Director Brian Ulanch, recently explained why the Southeast U.S. provides big business opportunities. With MODEX 2016 right around the corner, Ulanch talked about the growing opportunities and benefits of doing business in Atlanta and the importance of hosting one of the industry's biggest shows.
"There are a few factors driving automation in the Southeastern U.S. Similar to the rest of the world, customers are demanding faster delivery times and big box retailers are demanding that shipment and orders be accurate. Regionally, the anticipation of the Panama Canal expansion is driving companies to reevaluate their supply models and execute a cost analysis versus faster delivery times. This analysis will drive the investment of more automated distribution centers in port areas. The expansion has also driven the port systems to invest in dredging and expansion as well to accommodate these larger ships, meaning more product producing more throughput," noted Ulanch.
