Operational & Automation Assessments
Phase 1: Warehouse Operational Assessment
An independent diagnostic of your warehouse or fulfilment operation, assessing flow, logic, and constraints as they exist today. We expose where processes break down, where cost and delay are embedded, and which systemic inefficiencies limit throughput and team performance. Automation is evaluated only after operational fundamentals are validated
Why Clients Use This
- Establish a factual baseline of current operational performance
- Expose hidden cost, delay, and throughput constraints
- Separate operational issues from automation assumptions
- Prioritise improvements with clear ROI and sequencing logic
- Build automation business cases grounded in real data
- Obtain independent, owner-side insight before committing to change
What We Assess
- End-to-end process flow and layout performance
- Operational data including cycle times, pick paths, and movement logic
- Workforce deployment, utilisation, and coordination
- Inventory classification, storage strategy, and replenishment logic
- Safety, compliance, and operational risk exposure
- Bottlenecks, delays, and systemic process inefficiencies
- Phased improvement and investment roadmap aligned to payback
Phase 2: Automation Assessment
Vendor-neutral evaluation of automation feasibility, ROI, and system fit, only after your current
operations are stabilized.
Why Clients Use This
- Confirm whether automation is required or should be avoided
- Understand true automation ROI based on optimised operations
- Independently assess vendor proposals, sequencing risk, and handover impact
- Align warehouse teams and vendor expectations before commitment
- Define an automation strategy that supports business outcomes, not technology upgrades
What We Assess
- ROI modelling based on stabilised and lean-state operations
- Automation readiness across infrastructure, processes, and WMS
- Vendor capability alignment with defined scope and requirements
- Simulation of future-state flows and capacity scenarios
- Site constraints, utilities, material handling compatibility, and build feasibility
- Integration and sequencing across IT, OT, and operations
- Clear go or no-go decision with a phased investment roadmap
