6 River Systems
Rylan, Jerome and Chris wanted to go with a company name that referenced Boston and had a water theme since distribution centers are all about inventory flow. In Boston there are already a lot of companies name Charles River Something, so that was ruled out. Since the company can improve 6 aspects of order fulfillment, and because the Charles River has/had 6 tributaries, the name became 6 River Systems. There is another origin of the name, but it will remain company lore.
Easy ways to think about the company origin:
"The Charles River is a six river system" (credit goes to Rylan)
"There are seven steps in the cart picking process, six which we make faster. That step requires a human reaching in and grabbing the product. Collaboration of humans and machines."
