Warehouse Slotting Optimisation for Mid-Size Retailers
Reducing pick-path travel time by 22%
How we redesigned slotting for a regional retailer to cut labour costs and speed up order fulfilment.
Read moreWe analyse warehousing workflows, identify transport bottlenecks, and design dispatch schedules that keep your deliveries on time and your operations lean.
Velocity-based slotting redesign that cut pick-path travel time by 22% for a regional retailer.
Real-time dock assignment and lane management that reduced dwell time from 8 hours to under 90 minutes.
Network design for a hardware startup that achieved 98% on-time delivery from the first shipment.
One conversation can identify the bottlenecks costing you time and margin. Let’s map out a practical first step — no pitch decks, just a focused review of your current logistics.
Measurable outcomes from every engagement.
We re-slot warehouses by velocity and order profile. One retailer cut travel time by 22% and freed up 15% floor space — no new equipment needed.
By staggering inbound arrivals and pre-assigning staging lanes, we dropped dwell time from 8 hours to under 90 minutes for a perishable goods distributor.
A hardware startup needed distribution before first production. We modelled demand phases and built a two-hub network that hit 98% on-time delivery from day one.
Redesigned dock scheduling for a fresh-produce client cut spoilage to 0.4% and saved over $1.2M annually in waste and overtime.
Better slotting and flow design let one retailer postpone a planned warehouse expansion by 18 months — freeing budget for other priorities.
After our slotting redesign, a mid-size retailer hit 99.3% first-pass pick accuracy — fewer errors, fewer returns, faster order cycles.
Real results from manufacturing and retail supply chains.
Hardware startup hit target from first shipment.
Mid-size retailer cut labour costs and sped fulfilment.
Fresh-produce distributor slashed spoilage to 0.4%.
“Orderearly’s slotting audit revealed inefficiencies we had overlooked for years. The 22% reduction in pick-path travel time directly improved our labour productivity and order accuracy.”
“We were losing inventory to spoilage every week. Their cross-dock scheduling redesign cut dwell time dramatically and saved us over a million dollars annually.”
