How does a warehouse assessment with Warehouse Cubed work and what deliverables do we get?

Detailed Answer

During a Warehouse Cubed assessment you get a disciplined, five-step warehouse optimization process led by our veteran-owned warehouse consulting services team.

1. Assessment & data gathering – Our engineers walk the facility, map material flow, inventory profiles, labor allocation and existing pallet racking systems, taking photos and measurements.

2. Analysis & strategy – Using best-practice distribution center optimization metrics we compare your KPIs to benchmarks, run capacity calculators and outline savings across labor, space and throughput.

3. Warehouse layout design – We develop 2D and 3D CAD drawings that show improved rack elevations, pick paths, conveyor or automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) and future-ready warehouse automation solutions.

4. Material handling systems integration plan – You receive an itemized bill of materials, budgetary pricing and phased timeline for conveyors, mezzanines, modular in-plant offices, safety equipment, and any required rack repair.

5. Review & continuous improvement – A follow-up call reviews results, answers questions and refines the road map as operations grow.

Deliverables you keep:

• Executive summary highlighting quick-hit wins and long-term ROI projections
• Full PDF assessment report with findings, heat-map photographs and OSHA-focused warehouse safety audit notes
• Color-coded 2D/3D CAD layouts and renderings for stakeholder approval
• Budget estimate, ROI calculator and permit/engineering requirements
• Action list prioritized by cost, impact and downtime

Whether you run an e-commerce fulfillment center, a manufacturing warehouse, or a 3PL distribution hub, the assessment arms you with a clear, data-driven playbook to boost throughput, reclaim space and prepare for scalable supply chain automation.
