My gut feeling from the beginning was this Kiva Systems was going to go all the way. The talent they have in Engineering is absolutely incredible. Kiva is going to be the company to watch as they revolutionize warehouse fulfillment automation systems.

Kiva has developed a small quantity picking system that has been needed forever. It is very innovative and I believe it will be an extremely successful venture.
