About Anthony

I specialize in helping warehouse and supply chain teams uncover inefficiencies hidden inside their inventory, slotting, and operational data—without requiring new systems or major capital investments.

My background spans large-scale distribution, manufacturing, and fulfillment environments, where I’ve led initiatives ranging from full warehouse layout design and velocity re-slotting to inventory accuracy recovery, productivity tracking, and automation decision support. Across roles, I’ve consistently focused on translating messy, underutilized data into clear, actionable insights that operators and leaders can trust.

Today, through INVEX, I work with organizations to surface operational friction, clean and structure data, and build practical analytics that drive measurable improvements in labor efficiency, inventory accuracy, and throughput. My approach is grounded in real-world warehouse execution, not theory—designed to support the teams already running the floor and help them make better decisions faster.

Company

INVEX helps warehouses and supply chain teams optimize inventory, slotting, and operational workflows by turning existing data into clear, actionable insights—without replacing their systems. We uncover hidden inefficiencies, improve labor productivity, and enable smarter decisions through practical analytics built for real-world operations.
