Operational & Automation Assessments

Automation only delivers when operations are structurally sound. Our two-phase model ensures investment delivers true ROI

Phase 1: Warehouse Operational Assessment

An independent diagnostic of your warehouse or fulfilment operation - assessing flow, logic, and constraints as they exist today. We identify where processes break down, where costs and delays are hidden, and what structural inefficiencies limit throughput and team performance. Automation is tested only after operations prove sound.

Why Clients Use This

Reduce labour overhead and operational waste

Improve warehouse flow, layout and stock movement across sites

Lift operational performance and throughput

Identify operational inefficiencies and prioritize improvements with ROI clarity

Build stronger business cases with real operational data.

Gain independent insight

What We Assess

End-to-end process flow mapping and layout performance

Operational data: Cycle times, pick paths, velocity zones and movement logic

Workforce deployment, utilization, and coordination

Inventory classification, storage, and replenishment practices

Safety, compliance, and operational risk

Bottlenecks, delays, and process inefficiencies

Phased improvement and investment roadmap focused on payback areas

Phase 2: Automation Assessment

Vendor-neutral evaluation of automation feasibility, ROI, and system fit, only after your current

operations are stabilized.

Vendor-neutral evaluation of automation feasibility, ROI, and system fit, only after your current

operations are stabilized.

Vendor-neutral evaluation of automation feasibility, ROI, and system fit, only after your current

operations are stabilized.

Why Clients Use This

To confirm if automation is needed, or avoid it entirely

To understand the real ROI of automation, based on optimised operations

To evaluate vendor proposals, sequencing risk, and handover impact

To bridge the gap between warehouse teams and vendor expectations

To build an automation strategy that supports business goals, not just tech upgrades

What We Assess

Readiness for automation (infrastructure, processes, WMS)

Alignment of vendor capability with scope and requirements

Simulation of future-state flows and capacity scenarios

Site constraints, utilities, MHE compatibility, and build feasibility

Integration and sequencing across IT, OT, and operations

Clear go/no-go call, with phased investment roadmap
