In a Few Words

As the leader of a growing company, you recognize that you need to improve your logistics capability. 

And, you are probably finding that the landscape of people out there to "help" you are divided into large consulting firms wanting to charge you high fees, or project vendors trying to sell you equipment and software.  

We see the same.

So, in 2022, we created Takle as a boutique (read: small, fast, and particular) client-first and vendor-neutral firm serving our clients' needs in logistics and warehousing projects.

We offer services to growing companies who need to supplement their experience and resources to match their desire to improve. 

Our mission is to be your Advocate and to teach you how to implement logistics solutions while representing your best interests to integrators and vendors.

What about our name? GoBlock USA was formed in 2018 by three partners who wanted to explore blockchain technologies in supply chain (hence the name GoBlock). And, that is what we did, and still part of what do. You can see some of our blockchain work here. 

Christopher (Chris) Davis is the Managing Principal of GoBlock. He is a logistics professional with 25 years of experience directing and building supply chain operations across a broad spectrum of operations – from e-commerce to custom manufacturing to retail replenishment.

Chris is recognized as a “Pro to Know” by Supply and Demand Chain Executive and obtained the APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) designation. He has been quoted as an expert source in Supply Chain Management Review, MHI Solutions, Transport Topics, and other periodicals.

In Supply Chain Automation roles, he led the automation program featured on the cover of Modern Materials Handling, January 2019 (only 12 projects make it to the cover a year!)

In Operations Leadership roles, Chris has held executive responsibility for 37 warehouses in the USA and Canada, and he has directed the warehouse systems conversion from legacy in 70 plants across North America and EMEA. 

In 2018, he co-founded GoBlock to begin exploring the possibilities of emerging technology in supply chain. And from 2019 to 2022 Chris built an implementation group from scratch at another fast growing automation engineering startup. 

Chris lives in Kennesaw Georgia and is an appointed Board officer on the City of Kennesaw Development Authority. He also is on the Board of the Georgia Blockchain Coalition where he serves as the Leader of the Supply Chain Council.  

In his personal time he enjoys hiking, camping, whitewater, a little running (he needs to do more of that), and studying American history.

There are two other Principals in GoBlock USA LLC who contribute behind the scenes and maintain their day jobs while Chris focuses on expanding GoBlock and Takle.
