Looking Ahead With A Warehouse Consultation
What To Expect From A Warehouse Consultation?
Every consultation is tailored to the needs of your operation, but our process always follows a proven, collaborative framework that ensures alignment and measurable outcomes.
We begin with a kickoff meeting at your facility. During this visit, our team walks the floor, observes operations firsthand, and speaks with both leadership and team members to identify pain points and gather essential data and design criteria. After the site visit, we dive into the data—analyzing trends, capacity, and workflow to lay the groundwork for future-state process flows.
From there, we host working sessions to align on key business and operational requirements. Once we’ve established a solid understanding of your needs, we conduct a detailed design criteria and data review for final approval before solutioning begins.
Our team then develops customized concepts that align with your growth goals, budget, and operational strategy. Throughout the process, you can expect regular working sessions and progress updates. The engagement concludes with a comprehensive final presentation that includes CAD layout concepts, budget estimates, high-level timelines, and a bill of materials—typically delivered in person at your site.
How Does a Consultation Work?
Optimization
We provide a comprehensive assessment of optimization potential and outline possible solutions.
Analyze & Recommend
We prepare an analysis of the current material flows and process requirements and the definition of the target performance and capacity requirements.
Detailed Concepts
We base our decision on viable economical and technical solutions that utilize a holistic approach: IT (WMS), process technology, TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).
A Partner Who CARES
Our CARES Approach
We partner with you in a common-sense approach to developing the optimal solution for your operation:
Collect Data
Analyze the Data
Recommend Alternatives — and gain approval for the best solution
Execute the Solution
Support the New System
The CARES process is a thorough, step-by-step decision-making process considering your specific challenges, goals, budget, and timeframe to arrive at the optimal solution for your operation. By following this process, the outcome is justified operationally and economically. Short- and long-term goals are addressed, and you are better prepared to meet future changes that will occur within your operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s included in a consultation?
We offer three core types of consultations to fit a variety of needs, and we can customize any of them based on your specific goals.
How long does it take?
Depending on the scope, consultations typically last between 4 and 16 weeks.
How many pallets can I fit in my building?
That depends. We use a data-driven approach to understand your workflows, inventory needs, and operational goals—so we can provide accurate, scalable recommendations rather than quick guesses.
What will the solution cost?
It varies based on the final design. Until we’ve completed the process analysis and design criteria review, we won’t know the total investment needed.
Can we install a solution we saw at ProMat, MODEX, or on YouTube?
Possibly. We’ll explore those ideas, but ultimately, the solution must fit your specific operation, data, and goals.
Can an automated solution be installed in three months?
Generally no. Most automation projects take between 9 to 18 months from design through installation.
