Services I provide
Warehouses can lose significant amounts of space and create bottlenecks that damage the business.
Time constraints, input from outside sources and the pace of operation all take their toll, and the cost is rarely visible until someone measures it. I find it, and prove the gain in your own numbers.
Every service stands alone, so you can buy one or combine several.
Inventory accuracy
Stock you can trust, counted and proven.
- Inventory accuracy improvement. Root-cause investigation of discrepancies, a cycle counting routine that sticks, and a written technique guide your team can follow.
- Inbound receipt redesign. Fixing accuracy at the dock door, where most errors start.
- Location coding and labelling. Every storage location mapped, coded and labelled, the physical foundation for any WMS.
Inventory data analysis
Know what you are holding, what is moving and what it is costing you.
- Stock Intelligence Report. A board-ready analysis of your ERP and e-commerce data: fast and slow movers, dead stock, stock discrepancies and oversell risk. Delivered from your data files, with no site visit needed.
- Systems alignment and oversell audit. Finds the gaps between what your systems say and what you can actually ship.
- Dead stock and working capital release. Identify, value and clear slow-moving and obsolete stock to turn it back into cash.
Storage capacity and layout
Make the building you have work harder before you pay for a bigger one.
- Storage capacity and optimisation. Reviewing how you use every pallet position and shelf.
- Slotting programme. Fast-moving products moved to the most accessible locations, based on how they actually sell, to cut pick travel.
- Layout and process consultancy, supported by 3D warehouse layout modelling so you can see the change before you make it.
Process and performance
Give your team more time for the customer.
- Operational improvement. Redesigning receipt, put-away, picking, packing and despatch to remove waste and rework, including vehicle slot management to control loading and tipping.
- Performance standards and KPIs. The right measures, a template to keep tracking them, and an understanding of why they matter and how to use them.
Safety and compliance
Protect your people and have the evidence to prove it.
- Risk assessments and SOPs. Warehouse-specific, written with your team rather than handed to them.
- Safe working and safety culture. Helping your team understand the risks specific to their workplace and commit to safer habits.
- Racking and equipment inspections. I coordinate the inspection and help you find the right provider, with no referral fees.
WMS selection and implementation
The right system, and an operation that is ready for it.
- Readiness check. Are your locations, data and processes ready?
- Independent vendor selection. Every supplier is assessed against the same questions in the same order.
- Implementation management. Process redesign, data cleansing, user acceptance testing, SOPs and support through to go-live.
