Supply chain automation and material handling systems integrator
Bastian Solutions designs and installs distribution center automation, conveyor systems, and custom material handling equipment for logistics and e-commerce operations. The company is engineering-heavy (92 engineers vs. 15 sales roles) and actively hiring across manufacturing and support functions, suggesting execution-focused scaling. Pain points cluster around project timelines, installation quality, and legacy Microsoft technology debt — a mix that points to a services-delivery business outgrowing its operational infrastructure.
