Warehouse move in 6 shifts without stopping shipments
Task
The client rented premises without racking and lost up to 4 hours a day searching for goods.
Result
Picking accuracy rose to 99.6 %, and order picking time fell from 5 to 1.5 hours.
Case studies
Task, solution, result
Four projects that show how warehouse solutions affect the client's money and deadlines. We don't disclose company names under the terms of our contracts.

Temporary storage with phased customs clearance of batches
Task
The batch arrived in one container and was released into circulation in parts over two months.
Result
The client spread customs payments over time and freed up working capital.
Receiving wagons at our own railway siding
Task
Unloading at a public station led to excess demurrage of wagons.
Result
Downtime was cut to the standard, and transport costs fell by 18 %.
Labelling and stickering a batch before delivery to a chain
Task
Goods arrived without stickers, and receiving at the chain failed on formal grounds.
Result
Batches are accepted the first time, and fines for incorrect labelling are down to zero.
How we measure results
In every project we record baseline figures before we start: order picking time, the share of shipping discrepancies, the cost of storing one pallet per month, truck waiting time during loading. After three months the same figures are measured again, and the difference is the basis for our conclusions.
We don't quote figures that can't be confirmed by an export from the accounting system. If there was no improvement in some area, we say so directly — most often this means the task was about procurement or transport rather than the warehouse.
Typical project timelines
Moving a warehouse while keeping shipments going — 5 to 10 shifts depending on the number of pallets and the product range. Launching responsible storage from scratch — 3 to 5 working days. A full switch to outsourcing with procedures and catalogues set up — 2 to 4 weeks.
