Warehousing

Space, labour and accuracy, measured by the hour

A warehouse earns on throughput per square foot and per person-hour, and loses on inventory it cannot find. Our EWM and analytics work is aimed at those three numbers, whether the site is your own or run for a dozen clients.

What is moving

The forces shaping this sector

Six shifts we see across engagements in this industry, and what each one asks of the underlying system.

01

Slotting and space

Bin strategy driven by velocity, seasonality and handling profile rather than by habit.

02

Labour productivity

Picks per hour, travel time and task interleaving measured by wave, shift and operator.

03

Activity-based billing

Storage, handling and value-added services billed per client from recorded activity.

04

Multi-client operations

Stock, process and reporting separated per client inside a single site and a single system.

05

Dock and yard management

Appointment scheduling, gate and dock utilisation that ends the queue at the fence.

06

Inventory accuracy

Cycle counting, exception analysis and reconciliation kept continuous rather than annual.

Business benefits

What changes once it is in place

See the work
  • Put-away and pick paths that adapt as demand changes, not once a year.
  • Billing files produced from the transactions that created the work.
  • Stock accuracy high enough to retire the counter-check culture.
  • Transporter, customer and ERP integrations kept in one interface layer.
  • E-way bill, gate pass and proof of delivery captured in the same flow.
