Warehouse Consulting Services for Layout, Optimization & Material Handling Strategy
Practical consulting, built around a plan you can execute
When to Bring in a Warehouse Consultant
When a warehouse is under pressure, small issues stack up fast: longer travel, missed cutoffs, and more rework. Our warehouse consulting services help Warehouse Managers and Operations Directors improve flow, increase throughput, and use space better while keeping safety in focus.
Bring in a warehouse consultant when you need clear answers and a practical path forward. Common triggers include:
- Growth that outpaces your current layout or storage plan
- A changing SKU mix: more eaches, odd sizes, kitting, or returns
- Congestion in receiving, replenishment, pack, or shipping
- Adding racking, conveyors, or automation
- Moving buildings, expanding, or consolidating sites
- Safety concerns like repeated rack hits or near-misses

What We Help You Improve
Warehouse workflow optimization works best when it ties to measurable outcomes. We focus on levers that move performance in a distribution center layout:
- Space and storage density
- Travel time and traffic flow
- Throughput improvement and smoother execution
- Pick accuracy and fewer exceptions
- Safer routes and higher uptime
Warehouse Consulting Services We Provide
Tailored to your operation, your data, and your constraints.
We build or refine layouts that reduce congestion and support the way product should move.
We map current-state and future-state flows from receiving through shipping. Then we remove rework, reduce handoffs, and tighten standards so the process is easier to repeat.
We group SKUs by velocity, cube, and handling needs, then recommend slotting rules and storage strategies that fit your order profile. We also estimate what your facility can store and process today, plus what changes as volume shifts.
Material handling consulting is not about chasing shiny equipment. It’s about matching the right tools to the job. We recommend practical options for lift trucks, conveyors, pick aids, carts, shelving, racking, mezzanines, and safety protection, with attention to uptime and changeover needs.
This is where warehouse optimization consulting turns into real change. You get a plan you can run. If you want, we can support you through sourcing and install coordination so improvements stick.
You should leave the engagement with clear outputs your team can act on.
Deliverables You Can Use Immediately Include:
If you share volume, labor cost, and handling data, we can also model ROI and payback to compare options.
Layout concepts (2D and, when helpful, 3D) with key zones
Process maps for current-state and future-state workflows
A phased implementation plan that minimizes disruption
Recommendations for storage and material handling equipment, with “what and why”
What affects cost and timeline?
These factors usually drive effort and lead time:
Facility size and operational complexity
Data availability and quality
How many options you want evaluated
Equipment and install lead times (when execution is included)
We keep the work structured and easy to follow, especially for engineering teams that need clean inputs and clear decisions.
Our Process
1) Discovery and goal alignment
We confirm objectives, constraints, timelines, and success metrics.
2) Site walk and data review
We observe real workflows on the floor, then align findings with your data.
3) Design options
We present options with tradeoffs, so you can choose what fits your budget and disruption tolerance.
4) Recommendations and implementation plan
We translate the chosen direction into layout details, process changes, and a step-by-step rollout.
5) Implementation support
If you want help executing, we stay involved to answer questions, coordinate with install teams, and adjust based on what the floor teaches us.
