A Practical Guide to Warehouse Automation & Supply Chain Excellence
Written by a practitioner with 26+ years in the field, this book cuts through the complexity of intralogistics — giving leaders, professionals, and students the frameworks, tools, and confidence to drive real transformation.
About the Book
The Book Every Supply Chain Leader Has Been Waiting For
Intralogistics — the movement, storage, and management of goods within a facility — is the invisible engine of modern commerce. Yet for most business leaders, it remains a black box: complex, expensive, and poorly understood.
Intralogistics Simplified changes that. Drawing on 26 years of hands-on experience across India's most demanding industrial environments, Abhishek Chaturvedi has written the definitive practitioner's guide to warehouse automation and supply chain transformation.
This is not a textbook. It's a field manual — packed with real case studies, decision frameworks, financial models, and hard-won lessons from someone who has lived through every phase of the intralogistics journey.
Key Topics Covered
"Intralogistics is not just about moving goods — it's about moving businesses forward. Every conveyor, every robot, every WMS decision is ultimately a business decision."
Abhishek Chaturvedi
