Siggins

What Siggins does

Siggins is a North American material handling systems integrator headquartered in North Kansas City that designs and delivers integrated warehouse and distribution systems for operations across the United States and Canada. The company has operated for approximately 80 years as a family- and employee-owned business and runs with a small team of 11–50 employees. Its core offering is the SOLVE Analysis framework — a structured, three-tier evaluation methodology (Operational Needs Assessment from $5K, System Optimization Roadmap from $25K, System Modernization Plan from $50K) that diagnoses material flow, labor, and throughput constraints before any technology or layout decisions are made. SOLVE Analysis serves as both a paid consulting engagement and a qualified pipeline into larger system design and build projects.

The technical approach combines conveyor and sortation systems, ASRS and storage solutions, automation and robotics integration (via partnerships with AutoStore, Hytrol, Kardex, OPEX, HAI Robotics, Interlake Mecalux, Quicktron, Rocla, and others), controls and software integration (including CognitOps), and fulfillment and packaging systems (including Packsize). Siggins' differentiator is its OEM-agnostic position: rather than reselling a single manufacturer's stack, it selects and integrates equipment from 12+ technology vendors based on operational fit. The Evaluate → Validate → Design → Deliver lifecycle spans facility optimization, end-to-end design and build, and system redesign and upgrades, with the engineering team staying engaged through installation and long-term support.

Siggins generates revenue through professional services for system design and integration, paid SOLVE Analysis consulting engagements, and equipment sourcing through its OEM partner ecosystem (where it likely earns markup or service fees on procurement). Customers span eight verticals — aftermarket parts, apparel, health and beauty, food and beverage, medical and pharma, hobbies and collectibles, sporting goods, and third-party logistics. The go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales targeting operations, supply chain, and logistics decision-makers, supplemented by website content marketing, LinkedIn presence, and the SOLVE Analysis engagement program as demand generation. Leadership was substantially refreshed in 2024–2025 with the addition of CFO Cindy Haden (April 2024) and CEO Bill Olsen (March 2025), signaling a professionalization phase at the previously family-owned business.
