Craig Collins
Craig Collins is the CEO of GraniteWMS, a South African warehouse management software company that has grown from a Cape Town product into a system running in 240-plus warehouses across more than 40 industries and four continents. A University of Cape Town science graduate and one of the early figures in South African barcoding, Collins spent roughly three decades in warehouse operations before leading GraniteWMS's push into the United States, Europe, the Middle East and the Caribbean. He hosts the company's 'What The Warehouse' show and is known for a hands-on, floor-level style: he spends much of his time inside actual warehouses looking for practical ways to improve how goods move.
GraniteWMS
GraniteWMS is a barcode-driven, cloud-based warehouse management system built for small and mid-market businesses. The flagship product of Cape Town-based Cradle Technology Services, it gives warehouses end-to-end visibility - receiving, put-away, picking, stock takes and full item traceability - and either runs standalone or integrates with ERP and accounting platforms such as Sage 200 Evolution, Sage 300, Sage Intacct and SAP Business One. It is deployed across 240+ warehouses spanning 40+ industries in Africa, Europe, the Middle East and North America.
James Paterson
James Paterson is the co-founder and CEO of Aerobotics, a Cape Town-based precision agriculture company that turns drone and satellite imagery into AI-powered, tree-by-tree insights for fruit and nut growers. Raised on a family citrus farm and trained as a mechatronics engineer at the University of Cape Town before a masters at MIT, Paterson pairs first-hand farming instinct with aerospace-grade robotics. Since founding Aerobotics with Benji Meltzer in 2014, he has grown it into a global player that now analyzes a large share of the Florida citrus crop and has raised roughly $30 million, insisting the company is 'a farming company, enabled by technology' rather than a tech company that dabbles in farming.
