Companies That Attended Last Year
Spec Summit Testimonials
“Summit has been fantastic. It’s always great to come together with different industries, different people, see some familiar faces from last year, but also learn new things about the tool and the capabilities. Since we launched recently, it’s been helpful to see what else we could add on and what we can look at for future years.
Jennifer Sanchez
VP Marketing, Sun World
“You spend a lot of time not just watching presentations and demos, but interacting
with other Specright users who’ve already been where you are. At Summit you can find that person and talk to them about what they did, how they did it, what their journey was like so that they can help you avoid the same mistakes they did. It makes implementation a whole lot easier.”
Paul Gray
Director of Continuous
Improvement, Central Garden & Pet
“The leadership team of Specright has a great balance of supply chain domain expertise as well as technology expertise. I think they are very authentic in the messages that they give, which helps their customers.”
