• Match staff to shipment volume. • Keep the dock floor clean and organized. •U se materials handling tools to speed movement. Conveyors will allow cartons to travel directly from the unloading trailer to the loading trailer, eliminating travel time and extra handling.

Brian C. Neuwirth Warehouses are evolving and rapidly transforming to meet the challenges of today’s customers who want quick deliveries and real-time knowledge of where their orders are at all times. Warehouses are becoming smaller and locating closer to end customers to cut down on delivery charges. More brick and mortar stores are handling fulfillment of e-commerce orders to speed deliveries. Better efficiencies are gained through a mix of material handling equipment that speeds throughput, optimizes order picking and increases product flow. Warehouses of the future will become more like true distribution centers where supplies that come in, immediately go out without storage of the products. With less storage, more cross-docking operations will occur. Cross-docking is a practice in the logistics field of unloading materials from an incoming truck and loading these materials directly into outbound trucks, trailers, or rail cars, with little or no storage in between. The reason this is occurring is because more retailers are supporting omni-channel fulfillment operations that include fulfillment at stores instead of fulfillment from a warehouse. Stores will have visibility into inventory levels across all retail outlets and have the ability to fulfill orders in-house or get inventory from other stores to fulfill orders. In the immediate future, there will be a continued growth in cross-docking operations and true omnichannel operations. Retailers will have visibility into inventory across all operations and will share inventory to meet customer orders. Some cross-docking best practices include: • Handle each piece of freight only once. • Make dock layout as compact as possible. 4

Inventory management is reported as the most challenging source of inefficiencies, as well as an area where it would be easiest to gain cost savings through technology. Most warehouses have issues with items that don’t get sold so they carry a stagnant inventory. These unsold items just continue to take up space in the warehouse, where their value is lost. To rectify this, warehouses need to act more like a distribution center and push these products out to the retail stores. They need to not hold onto the inventory and instead sell it in the stores. Retail stores, on the other hand, need to have areas within the store to handle fulfillment operations. Companies need to turn their warehouses into modern distribution centers focused on optimizing inventory. They need to know where inventory is, make sure it is replenished on store shelves so it will sell. Utilizing systems such as RFID-tags that identify, diagnose, and prevent out-of-stock conditions, will help to remove uncertainty from in-store inventories and prevent lost sales. Moving inventory out to the storefronts using automation to push products from the warehouse will help rectify the situation. Conveyors, picking systems, sortation units are all material handling automation equipment that can improve throughput and increase efficiencies. Order pickers spend about 60 percent of their time walking product or moving product around. Using conveyors or sortation systems can reduce travel time and improve throughput. Retailers can maximize the profit out of their inventory by increasing efficiency. Reducing inventory provides an increase in working capital, which leads to bottom line profits. More inventory will be moved closer to pickers for easier for more accurate picking, improving productivity with increased seasonal demand and utilize warehouse and worker assets to their fullest. Streamlining product flow is an ongoing challenge in most fulfillment facilities. It’s more than simply having the right product on hand to fill orders, although that is certainly an overriding goal. Product flow affects inventory availability and accessibility, product rotation, replenishment and storage processes,

Cover Story travel time, handling and ergonomics, and picking speed and accuracy. For fulfillment operations that handle large volumes of fast-moving inventory consisting of a wide variety of SKUs, the proven turnaround solution is a well-designed carton flow rack system.

This first-in/first-out (FIFO) design not only ensures efficient inventory rotation, but also allows picking and replenishing operations to take place simultaneously from opposite sides of the rack. Ongoing replenishment means the correct carton always on hand, within reach and in clear view. Freed from the need to wait or travel, workers are able to pick more quickly, accurately and efficiently. For optimized turnaround, carton flow rack systems are the tool of choice.

Why carton flow? In today’s e-commerce environment, distributors are less likely to be handling full pallets; instead inventory is moved to the pick area in individual cartons, where pickers pull items to At the same time, it’s important to choose the fulfill the more typical smaller, multi-SKU order. In best carton flow system for your distinct application this type of application, using carton flow racks can increase operational efficiency by as much as 75%, often and product mix. A robust carton flow rack system will minimize product hang-up, which can result in immediately.

Cover Story Smartphone and tablets are making their way into the warehouse to improve fulfillment rates and manage inventory. Because of the increase in e-commerce orders due to a better economy, SKUs are proliferating throughout the warehouse. Plus, new regulations are requiring more accurate product tracking and tracing. In a recent survey from Zebra Technologies, it is reported that only 12% of respondents expect to still be using pen and paper-based processes by the end of 2018. Paper-based processes are prone to error. Pickers with a printed pick list can easily pick the wrong item from a location that is adjacent or can mis-read the pick list and select the wrong SKU number. Or a product can be put in the wrong location, making it difficult to locate. When filling out forms, numbers may be transposed, leading to wrong order numbers, part numbers and quantities being picked. To remedy this situation, time-consuming physical inventories are taken often in the warehouse, requiring even more man-power and adding to costs. Paper-

based order picking is very inefficient, fraught with error and slow. Order Picking Systems The constant pressure to keep up with increased demand has driven a number of companies to improve order picking processes, leading to improved efficiency, accuracy and speed. Order picking involves various methods of bringing products to be picked right to the order picker, or closer to the pick face (in front of the order picker) for quicker picking. These systems include goods-to-person, pick shelves, carton flow, pallet flow, etc. Goods-to-person (GTP) involves bringing items to be picked to the picker. Statistics show that order pickers spend 60 percent of their day traveling within the warehouse and only 40 percent picking. With GTP, traveling is reduced, even eliminated because products are brought to the picker via conveyors, automated storage and retrieval systems, mobile storage shelves or sortation devices as directed by the order management system or WMS. Pickers take the items, place them in containers to fulfill orders. Eliminating

of the future, leading to greater fulfillment and orderpicking speeds.

Pick shelves are angled metal shelves that allows items, boxes and containers to be stored. When the order picker takes the item closest to the pick face, the items behind slide forward, ready for the next pick. The first-in, first-out (FIFO) methodology of inventory rotation is perfect for pick shelves. With FIFO, the oldest products are used or picked first, ensuring product quality and safety. When products are picked for an order, newer arrived products slide forward from the back to replace the just-picked item. Pick shelves provides precise, flexible and accessible pick points for order pickers.

When choosing to automate picking operations, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just focus on the cost of the system; instead look into longterm maintenance, durability, flexibility and repair costs. Understand how easy or hard the system is to move and change; the easier and quicker the better. These systems should be able to be moved and expanded easily. Check the implementation, training and support processes to make sure everything works well and can be supported. Besides faster picking processes, better utilization of space, higher throughput and higher capacity should also be analyzed. The warehouse of the future will include a combination of automation in the form of robots, automated storage and retrieval systems, wearable devices and drones, along with non-automated systems like carton flow, conveyors and order-picking shelving. As many warehouses are getting smaller and placed nearer to customers, space is limited, which means big material handling systems are not suitable. Using pick shelves, carton flow systems and flexible conveyors that can be moved around in the space to where they are needed will increase efficiencies of the warehouse

2019 awaits! This is the time of year when we turn our thoughts and efforts to trying to forecast what will happen in the upcoming year. 2018 brought this industry a lot of opportunity. Both OEM’s and dealers alike posted some record performances.

funds, or participate in a rate swap, in order to lock in lower rates on longer term financial obligations, instead of using short term operating capital that may be affordable today, but will no doubt get much more expensive in the future.

Will the ground in 2019 be just as fertile? We are all cognizant of recent political and economic developments that have had both positive and negative effects on our businesses. I want to take a minute and discuss some of the recent events and trends that should be on our radar as we attempt to develop our forecasting for 2019. Some of these are positive, some are negative, all need consideration.

4.) Section 179 accelerated depreciation! In recent years, the section 179 bonus depreciation provisions helped dealers and customers alike. The only downside was that the depreciation value was capped at $500K. These accelerated depreciation allowances were reinstituted by the government with the passage of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act in December of 2017. The new law increases the cap to $1M, and also widens the range of equipment that qualifies. These provisions have also been extended through the year 2022. The effect of the new law should provide ample incentive to lift truck customers to update their rolling stock as they look for ways to curb their tax obligation in an improving economy. The law also makes it more attractive for dealers to expand both their short and long-term rental fleets.

Geopolitical and Economic Events and Trends 1.) 2018 Tax Break! There isn’t a dealership in the country that wasn’t affected by the fact that the IRS will only require 20% of your hard-earned net profit in 2018! Many dealerships in expectation of this windfall reinvested in their businesses, improving facilities, updating rolling stock, and hiring additional team members to take advantage of a surging economy. Will this continue? It’s hard to say. By the time this column is published the mid-term elections will be upon us. Political power could swing one way or the other, with tax consequences surely hanging in the balance. 2.) GDP Growth! Without regard to the political outcomes, our economy has not seen this type of growth in a long time. Long term predictions of 3 to as much as 4% growth will continue to stoke the fire that drives our industry. 3. ) Interest Rates! The federal reserve will no doubt continue their 2018 trend by trying to control an overheated economy with multiple raises in interest rates. Many dealers have reaped the benefits of low interest rates for more than a decade. In doing so, we have grown accustomed to having plentiful inventory of both parts and machinery. It seems logical to me that the increasing cost of funds will lead to adjustments in OEM incentives and flooring programs. When formulating a forecast, adjusting your inventory expectations will be a key component of maintaining profitability. Now, may actually be the time to borrow 10

5.) Tariffs! The 2018 tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum had a direct (and some would say devastating) effect on our industry. It still remains to be seen how all of this will play out. Existing inventories may give some OEM’s a short-term advantage, but the bottom line will most likely be an increase in price for all OEM’s, which subsequently will mean a larger than normal year over year increase in retail pricing. Both parts and machines will be affected. When forecasting for 2019, it makes sense to formulate a pricing policy that accounts for the effect rising prices will have on your inventory as a whole. It pays to remember that tariffs are a tool being used by the government to evoke a particular result. The short-term pain we may feel as a result of the tariff may in fact lead to a solution that serves us well in the years to come. It is however a reality to be dealt with. Proper inventory control and consistent pricing policies are the keys to success in this regard. Remember that EVERYONE in this industry is facing the same problem.

Aftermarket the technology of the future. We don’t yet have long term performance data, but by the end of 2019, we will know what kind of an effect L-ion batteries will have on our overall sales plan. Currently there are only a couple of manufacturers that have active current production equipment utilizing these batteries. L-ion lacks the minimum weight that most conventional electric forklifts require so units have to be completely reconfigured. New models are already being engineered and field tested by the major OEM’s, so we can expect that their next iteration of an electric forklift will be powered by the new technology. What does that mean to you? Think about it. L-ion is vastly different from lead-acid. Starting in 2019 you need to start crafting a game plan to phase out of old technology and phase into the L-ion world. Consider the ramifications it will have on your rental fleet, charging systems, customer fleet conversions, used equipment values, and lease returns, not to mention new equipment inventory. Knowing when your OEM plans to make the jump is a good place to start. Already having a conversion plan in process is even better. 7.) Manpower and Recruitment! This continues to be the crises of the moment. If customers who are sensitive to the rising price of equipment, choose instead to extend the use of their current machines, the benefit to the dealer is increased service opportunities. It’s difficult to exploit that opportunity when you can’t find qualified mechanics to perform the work. We all complain about the technician shortage, but there are very few easy answers. I would suggest the following 5 ideas to grow your service ranks: a. Automotive Technical Schools. Trade schools like UTI and Wyotech have expanded their curriculums in recent years to include more industrial training in hydraulics, diesel power, and electrical systems. Although many of these graduates want a job at the Ford dealer, you will always find some that are attracted to a more industrial setting. This however takes diligence and “showing up” and the job fairs and events that the schools sponsor. b. MHEDA education partnerships. MHEDA has partnered with the Manufacturing Skills Standards Council to create a program that trains and certifies technicians for our industry. The certified logistics technician (CLT) and certified forklift technician (CFT) programs will fully train competent candidates 12

www.MHWmag.com

November 2018

for the overabundance of technical positions currently available. To find out more on this program visit: https://www.msscusa.org/cft/. c. FFA and 4H programs. Go to the county fair. Talk to the kids that won the awards for welding and farm power projects. These kids usually have a head start over your green apprentice PM employee, and like working with their hands. d. Military motor pool. Although the available talent here has been thinner than it was in years past, having contact with a liaison at the local air force base, or navy yard isn’t a bad idea. These men come with good training and are looking for life after the military e. Home Grown. If you don’t have a continuous development program with new employees ramping into entry level training on a quarterly basis you will run out of candidates in a hurry. The oil and grease guys at jiffy lube may not look like your best option, but if you invest in them over a longer term, you will have a better than 50% shot of developing a pretty good employee. This takes more time and money than most dealers have been willing to spend, but it really is your only long-term sustainable option. You must also task your shop foremen, and senior techs with training duties on an ongoing basis, and move these newer guys toward self-sufficiency as quickly as possible. 2019 will REQUIRE more boots on the street, and more vans on the road. I would estimate at least a 10 % increase over current FULL staffing levels. Put your tech development program in place as a part of your 2019 forecast. You cannot grow a service department without hiring technicians. Their hours are the department’s only stock in trade. Forecasting is no easy task, and it shouldn’t be. It should require a historical analysis, resource and investment planning, and consideration of industry, political, and economic conditions that could affect the final results. That’s a much more daunting process than adding 5% to last year’s numbers……but the outcome is normally worth the work. Dave Baiocchi is the president of Resonant Dealer Services LLC.

Bottom Line Garry Bartecki

Going once…going twice… Material Handling Wholesaler (MHW) gave you an opportunity on October 10th to make a LOT OF MONEY within the next six months. I am referring to the webinar titled ESOPs for MATERIAL HANDLING, EQUIPMENT RENTAL COMPANIES /DEALERSHIPS, and RELATED INDUSTRIES. I hope you had time to attend and learn how this transition option can put a lot more money into your bank account and still allow you continue working with the same staff you currently have, knowing you have additional working capital in terms of the company income taxes you will no longer have to pay. I am sure you know that if you sell assets you need to pay the bank, the IRS and yourself. The “yourself” piece in this scenario is dramatically impacted by the sale of rental assets with zero or low tax basis. What the ESOP does is give you the opportunity to greatly reduce or defer any recapture taxes thus adding a significant amount to the “yourself” payout. A rough example: Asset Sale Sale price: $15 million Less debts: $6 million Less tax: $5 million Net to seller: $4 million

ESOP: Stock sale $15 million Remains as is $2 million (pay or defer) $7 cash to seller (new unsecured note) $8 Note to seller

This is a simple example of how it works. You sell stock to an ESOP….and keep your debt intact….and pay taxes at the capital gains rate if you choose. If you are a C-Corp you can roll-over the investment into corporate securities and defer the tax until you sell the corporate securities. The seller also gets a note for the portion of selling price that is not funded with new debt, which is normally paid after the cash payment (note) is paid off, usually in 5-6 years. The seller note also pays interest at a very acceptable rate which can produce a significant annual interest payment until the debt is paid. Once both notes are paid off, the employees have a company that could be worth $15 million, or more, 14

or less depending on operating results of the company. Not bad for all concerned. But, and this is a BIG but you have to qualify to do an ESOP transaction. In other words, your EBITDA numbers historically and projected have to be able to fund the cash payout as well as other debt service and Cap x. If you can, you should investigate further to see if the ESOP works for you. As I have mentioned in the past….do your homework first and avoid spending a ton of money only to find out that you don’t qualify. Run your own numbers and get a valuation of your rental assets as well as other fixed assets (if a material number), and then present those findings to CSG Partners who can review them to determine if there would be a bank willing to finance your deal. If you didn’t get a chance to listen in to the webinar I am sure MHW has a link to allow you to do so. And if you have question or need help with the “numbers” give me a call and we will get you through the process. Just remember the point here is to maximize your personal return while the company value is at a high point, as opposed to pushing off a sale because you wish to continue to work and then trying to sell it for a lower value because the next recession is upon us. With the ESOP you can do both. So Going Once…..Going Twice……SOLD to your ESOP….if you qualify. Garry Bartecki is a CPA MBA with GB Financial Services LLC.

7 Keys to successfully Onboarding New Employees Hiring-managers, recruiters, and HR professionals are understandably excited when they find a qualified candidate who also interviews well. Depending on the length of the search, it can be difficult to resist offering a job on the spot. It may take a few anxious days, but, once all the hurdles are cleared, an offer is made and the candidate accepts the terms.

to feel confident and capable of doing their jobs if they are to be productive and engaged.

Now it’s time to celebrate. The hiring team got the top performer it was looking for! What can go wrong?

3. Keep that personality assessment handy Many companies use pre-employment personality assessments for selection. But why put an assessment report in a drawer after the hire when it can be a terrific platform for development? With awareness of a person’s strengths, motivations, and behavioral tendencies, it becomes much easier for management to shape coaching and mentoring strategies, provide targeted guidance, and help the new hire thrive in the company’s culture.

Everything. Alas, many employers are missing (both procedurally and philosophically) a fundamental component of making a successful hire: an onboarding plan. Onboarding is the mechanism through which new employees acquire the necessary knowledge, skills, and behaviors to become effective organizational members and insiders. Employees who are systematically coached and supported from the beginning, via an onboarding program, will learn faster, contribute more, and feel a closer connection to the organization. Those are the employees who, not coincidentally, will stick around longer and perform better. Even high-potential employees can fail when they feel disengaged. And when employees are disengaged, productivity suffers and turnover increases. Not only that, management has to expend valuable time and resources replacing people who quit or get fired. The cost to employers can be catastrophic. The solution is to make onboarding an integral part of your hiring process. Fortunately, successful onboarding is not complicated. It simply requires that management recognize the importance of onboarding and commit to following through. Here are the seven keys to doing it right: 1. Don’t confuse orientation and onboarding Reviewing policies with the HR Manager, getting a tour of the building, doing a meet-and-greet with co-workers, and watching corporate videos is orientation. Onboarding is about communication, culture, and acceptance. It’s the overall process by which a new hire becomes a loyal employee. Orientation is just a tiny sliver of that. 2. Don’t equate training with onboarding Training new hires in processes, systems, and job requirements is an obvious and critical component of success. Employees need 16

November 2018

However, training isn’t onboarding (though it is perhaps the largest piece on a pie chart). Onboarding also involves proactive social integration, cultural fit, trust, and acceptance from management.

Even if you don’t use assessments for selection, you can still apply them during the onboarding process. Better yet, by looking at the assessment results for both the manager and the new employee, you can enhance mutual understanding, improve communication, and foster a strong partnership. 4. Set SMART goals New hires will struggle to succeed if hey don’t know what success looks like. Therefore, development goals should be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timebound. Specific goals are boiled down to their most basic component and should be free of vague or moving targets (“Getting up to speed” is not specific). Measurable goals are quantifiable and not subject to the whims or moods of management. Attainable goals are realistic; during onboarding is not the time to set up a brick wall and expect the individual to crash through it. Relevant goals should relate to the job and not be an arbitrary test of persistence. Timebound goals have reasonable, yet competitive deadlines so manager and employee can plan and pace the effort. 5. Involve new hires in their own development New hires tend to be “on their best behavior,” which sometimes manifests as agreeableness and letting managers take the lead in conversations. Thus, if an eager manager jumps right in and starts assembling a grand vision of success, the new hire might sit back and play a passive role to avoid appearing difficult or uncooperative. In reality, the best, happiest employees are the ones who feel empowered and take ownership. Management should

Human Element guide the development process but encourage new hires to contribute ideas, express professional goals, and, within the requirements and expectations of the given position, define their roles. 6. Set time aside for Q&A A good manager is tunedin to what employees are experiencing not through some mystical gift for mindreading but simply by asking openended questions. Doing so is especially important with new and recent hires, who might not feel comfortable vocalizing their feelings. Questions can include: What do you like best about the role so far? What has been the biggest challenge or difficulty? What can I (or the company) do to help? What resources do you wish you had?

Low Cost, High Capacity

And be sure to follow through, even if the answer is “We can’t do that, but what we can do is …” 7. Recognize that onboarding is ongoing Though every job and company are different, a general onboarding plan might include 30-day, 60-day, and 90-day meetings to formally assess progress, adjust plans, revisit goals if necessary, and determine next steps (just remember that the purpose of these particular meetings is to provide constructive guidance, not to demand accountability). But it shouldn’t end there. Policies and best practices need reinforcement. Company culture needs maintenance. Employee engagement needs to be monitored so management can accurately evaluate the organizational climate. In short, when new hires know management is invested in their long-term success, they are more likely to positively change and grow with the company.

AKRO-CART

If you build a successful onboarding program and implement it systematically, both the organization and new hires benefit in a multitude of ways through improved communication, increased collaboration, and a reinforcement of company culture. You’re also clearing obstacles to learning, making policies understandable, increasing productivity and engagement, reducing turnover, and, ultimately, improving business results. Isn’t all that worth a little extra effort and attention in the beginning?

Sales Trends Jeffrey Gitomer

Elements of a Cold Call that can make them Hot Cold calling is one of the most difficult parts of selling. To be successful at the science of cold calling you must first define the elements, functions and formulas that comprise the call. Then, like all other sciences, experiment (practice) until you have a method that works. The basic elements that comprise a cold call are:

•G et to the point fast – The prospect is busy and will be insulted if you beat around the bush. • I f you are asked for price – give it immediately. Try to do it in the most creative way you can, but give it.

1. Deliver your opener.

• Determine what your prospect needs –

2. Ask power (thought provoking) questions to create meaningful dialog.

•b y understanding the problems of their operation

3. Make power (benefit) statements to establish credibility.

• by appealing to their sense of greed

4. Qualify the prospect as to need, desire, decision making capability and money.

• by evoking their fears

• by appealing to their vanity

5. Gather information.

6. Get what you came for – make the next step in your sales cycle.

•b y determining what the prospect's customer needs

•b y finding (searching for) the hot button – then pushing it.

7. Have the right attitude and focus. Here are several cold calling elements, guidelines and techniques that have proven to be effective:

•T hey will resist you – So what? It takes seven exposures, seven tries to get the prospect to become a customer. If you quit after just one or two, the sale will go to the next guy/woman who shows up.

•O pening lines are important – Deliver a smooth sincere line. Say you're a single woman and a guy comes up to you in some social circumstance and says, "Don't I know you?" or "You're just the prettiest little thing I ever did see." The first thing you think is, "This guy's a jerk, get me out of here." It's the same in cold calling. The opening line determines if you get to dance or not.

•T hey will buy to solve a business problem or satisfy a need – Statements and questions need to be pointed in that direction. Stress benefits (what's in it for them) – not features (how it works). Emphasize what they will gain – profit, pride, reputation. Prove that they will avoid – pain, loss, criticism. Failure to express benefits in terms of customer needs will preclude the sale.

•O pening impressions are important – The way you look and come across in the first 30–seconds often (not always) determines your outcome.

•F ocus on negative prevention – Get them to share what dissatisfies them. Motivate them to show discontent with their current situation. Tell how they miss out on profits, eliminate worry, overcome fear, and avoid the terror of customer complaints. Prospects are just as motivated to avoid losing something they already have, as they are in buying something new.

•A fter you deliver the opener, make the prospect think – Your questions (power questions) and statements (power statements) are critical to gaining prospect confidence. Ask questions that show knowledge, imply prospect areas of weakness, and gather vital information. Make statements that are creatively descriptive, imply benefits and build your credibility. 18

Prospects are just as motivated to avoid losing something they already have, as they are in buying something new.

www.MHWmag.com

November 2018

Sales Trends •G ain buyer confidence – Use every weapon in your sales tool arsenal. Bring in testimonials, references and similar situations whenever possible. •F ear of failure doesn't exist if you believe it doesn't. You will be rejected – the prospect will reject your offer – big deal! Attitude, humor and action (persistence) will whip fears and rejection. Edison, Lincoln, Babe Ruth, Colonel Sanders – these guys failed miserably thousands of times. Where would they be without their attitude to succeed? (And where would we be without their successes?) You only fail when you quit! •S et your own goals for achievement – How many calls per day, how many appointments per day. Selling is numbers, but they will only work if you are prepared. You must work your numbers consistently to get them to pay. Push yourself to win. If you cold call enough people, you will make appointments (your objective), and you will make sales (your purpose). •V isualize it happening – Seeing is believing. Believing is the first step to achieving. It's easier to do what you can see. Visualizing success helps eliminate fear of the unknown. Re– create those visual pictures with your words when you talk to the prospect. •E very time you go through a door, get what you came for – Know what your objective is for this cold call. Close the prospect on the next step in your sales cycle. The biggest fear isn't making the call, it's asking for the sale. Focus on asking and push for it until you get it. Here are a few asks that work:

• Which will be better for you...?

• Who should I...?

• If I... Would you...?

• When can I...?

The best technique I can give you about the cold call? – It's a big game... have fun & play to win!

Your Business Eileen Schmidt

Quintec Integration reinvents its culture with new headquarters A year ago, Quintec Integration Inc. opened its new headquarters, bringing a bit of Silicon Valley-type atmosphere to the Milwaukee area. “This reminds me of a mini-Google,” said James Deppoleto, founder and president of Quintec, of the new headquarters. The 20,000-square-foot complex, located west of Milwaukee in Waukesha, is designed with the employees in mind. It features 20-foot ceilings, swings, massage chairs, glass doors in the offices and ergonomic work spaces, a 2,000-square-foot workout facility and half-court basketball hoop. There is a fullservice kitchen for employees and a cafe where Deppoleto said someone usually “tries to get the popcorn” going by 11 a.m. What drove the project? Quintec, which was formed 20 years ago, is a full-service conveyor and material handling integrator. The business provides engineering, project management, installation and support “for any project that involves a conveyor,” the business website says. Quintec specializes in turnkey solutions, expansions and modifications, system optimization, system optimization, system upgrades and modernization, accessories and add-ons, updates for safety and spec changes and more, according to the company. When Deppoleto was looking to build out to accommodate the growing business, he started thinking about the psychology of the work environment. “My mood would pick up when callers colors were lighter,” he said. While Deppoleto had an appreciation for the “man cave industrial feel” he also felt that such designs were not particularly upbeat. He found many workers responded to lighter colors and so sought to create a new space with a more modern feel. The result has been a good one, according to Deppoleto. “Pretty much whoever walks through the door is blown away. Young engineers have turned away bigger companies to work for us,” Deppoleto said. There was a culture shock for some of the longerterm employees after the relocation. “We went from a shoebox environment where we would work and had blank walls,” he said. 20

November 2018

The new headquarters seeks to promote a healthy environment where workers can both work and play, according to Deppoleto, who said employees come in ready to work hard with the idea in mind that “there’s a reward when they want to step away from their desk.” At the same time, Deppoleto said he sought to keep his own “old school values” intertwined through the new environment. “I come from the background of handshake deals, where your word is your bond. I like to maintain that here,” he said. While the company has done a fair share of work in its home metro Milwaukee market and in nearby Chicago, the business has also worked on projects all over the country and in Canada, and is poised for substantial growth, according to Colin Daviau, business development for Quintec. The business serves clients of all sizes, from small companies through Fortune 500 companies and the U.S. government, according to the Quintec website. Daviau has been with the company for about a year, one of the employees drawn in by the renovated headquarters. “A big part of why I took the position was because of the atmosphere, the environment and culture here,” he said. “It’s important to me and important for the future of the company.” The new headquarters reflects how Quintec does business, Deppoleto said. We’re creative and we’re always thinking outside the box. We try not to get shoehorned” into one certain way of doing things, he said. “You need that in the material handling world.” Eileen Schmidt is a freelance writer and journalist based in the Greater Milwaukee area.
