Consulting

Assess how the operation really runs, then model the building and the network before you commit capital.

Operations assessment

See your operation clearly, then fix what matters most.

Most warehouses know something isn’t working. Picks take too long, space feels tight, and the team works hard without the numbers improving. What’s harder to see is why. In three weeks we combine time on your floor with deep analysis of your data to find the gaps between how work is designed and how it really gets done.

  • Onsite interviews and process observation
  • Order, inventory, and operational data analysis
  • A roadmap ranked by impact and ease of implementation

How it works

  1. Week 1
    Discover

    We start onsite. We interview your leadership team on goals, constraints, and pain points, then talk with the associates who do the work every day. They often know exactly where the friction is. We observe receiving, putaway, replenishment, picking, packing, and shipping in action.

  2. Week 2
    Analyze

    We dig into your order, inventory, and operational data, profiling SKU velocity, order patterns, storage utilization, and travel. Then we compare what the data shows with what we saw on the floor. This is where the root causes come into focus.

  3. Week 3
    Recommend

    We bring it together in prioritized findings and recommendations, ranked by impact and ease of implementation, and walk your leadership team through the results and the path forward.

What you receive

  • Current-state assessment of your processes, layout, and performance
  • Data analysis of order profiles, SKU velocity, and storage utilization
  • Key findings drawn from interviews, observations, and data
  • Prioritized improvement roadmap separating quick wins from longer-term initiatives
  • Executive readout with your leadership team

Facility modeling

Baseline the building you have, or the one you are about to fund. Clear height, bay types, dock capacity, pick modules, and automation envelopes, tested against your own inventory and velocity.

  • Current-state facility model from WMS extracts
  • Greenfield and retrofit scenarios
  • Automation bid support with a defensible baseline

Network design

Decide how many buildings, where inventory sits, and how flow should move when volume steps up. We connect node strategy back to the facility and the slot so the network does not orphan the floor.

  • Node count, role, and inventory posture
  • Growth, seasonality, and service-level cases
  • Implications for each building’s storage mix
