WMS and Fulfillment Optimization
We go inside the warehouse and rebuild what is actually slowing you down. Slotting logic, pick paths, receiving workflows, carrier selection, and WMS configuration. Every change is mapped to a measurable cost: labor minutes saved, error rate reduced, shipping cost recovered.
Designed For
Warehouses and 3PLs processing 500 or more orders per day that are experiencing rising costs, declining throughput, or WMS configurations that no longer match their operation.
Warehouse performance degrades gradually. Labor costs creep up. Carrier spend rises. Error rates climb. Teams add headcount instead of redesigning the work. WMS configurations that made sense at launch no longer reflect how the operation actually runs. Most operators know something is off but cannot isolate which variable is driving the cost.
A warehouse that moves faster with fewer errors and lower cost per unit. Layouts, labor models, WMS rules, and carrier logic are all aligned to current volume and SKU mix. Every change is documented and measured against the baseline established at the start.
Cost per unit shipped has risen three or more quarters in a row
Receiving backlogs are affecting outbound cut-off times
Pick accuracy is below 99.5%
WMS features are unused or configured for a past operating model
You have hired more warehouse staff but throughput has not kept pace
Carrier invoices are growing faster than order volume
Walk and Map
We spend the first week inside the warehouse: observing flows, timing work cells, reviewing WMS logs, and mapping the receiving-to-shipping process as it actually runs today.
Labor and Layout Analysis
We analyze travel time, pick density, receiving congestion points, and slotting logic. Every labor cost driver is traced to a specific layout or workflow decision.
WMS Configuration Audit
We review wave logic, zone rules, putaway strategies, and exception handling. We identify every gap between how the WMS is configured and how the operation actually works.
Redesign and Build
Layouts, work cells, slotting, WMS rules, and labor models are redesigned and implemented directly in the live operation, not documented for your team to do later.
Carrier and Rate Review
We analyze your carrier mix, rate structure, zone distribution, and parcel audit findings. Rate renegotiation support and carrier strategy recommendations are included.
Measurement and Closeout
We track results against the baseline model for four weeks post-implementation and deliver a final benefit report with realized versus projected gains.
Everything included at close.
Every item below is produced and handed off before the engagement ends. There are no add-on fees for documentation, session recordings, or follow-up materials.
- Receiving-to-shipping flow map with time benchmarks
- Labor efficiency model and reduction plan
- WMS configuration audit and rebuild
- Slotting and pick-path redesign
- Carrier rate analysis and renegotiation support
- Exception handling and returns workflow redesign
- Post-implementation benefit report
Do you work with our existing WMS or do we need to switch?
We work with what you have. Switching WMS is rarely the answer. Most systems have significant unused functionality. We configure what is already in place before recommending a platform change.
Our warehouse runs 24/7. Can you work around our operation?
Yes. We schedule observations and implementation work around your shifts. Changes that affect live operations are deployed during low-volume windows with your team present.
How long until we see measurable improvement?
Most clients see throughput and error rate improvements within the first four weeks. Full cost-per-unit reduction is typically measurable by week eight.
What if we are a 3PL with multiple clients on the same floor?
We have specific experience in multi-client 3PL environments. Slotting, billing logic, and client-level reporting in shared-space operations are in scope.
Do you handle carrier negotiations directly?
We analyze your rate structure and prepare the case for renegotiation. We can participate in carrier conversations directly or provide your team with the analysis to run those conversations themselves.
What systems do you work with?
Extensiv, 3PL Central, SkuVault, Deposco, Manhattan, and others. If we have not worked with your specific system before we will tell you upfront.
