ICYMI: Our Founder and CEO, Saman Farid, did a session at #PACKEXPOSoutheast earlier this week on the “automation tarp of shame” and how Formic’s business model ensures automation success. Traditionally, automating required buying an expensive system outright, hiring expertise in-house to install and maintain it, and hoping the system was flexible enough to grow with your business for years. The “tarp of shame” comes in when the system doesn’t run as planned, is too expensive to fix when something breaks, or can no longer keep up with business needs. At this point, the pricy automation purchase is shoved into a corner and becomes an awkward business or dinner table conversation! To combat this inflexibility and risk, Formic’s Full Service Automation business model has month-to-month contracts, 100% maintenance support, 24/7 tech support, and unlimited equipment swapping. We’re here to make sure you succeed, because we only succeed if you do. Learn more at https://hubs.la/Q03bz8xy0.
