Logistics Optimisation & Inventory Flow: Your Invisible Profit Centre
You don't need more space—you need smarter space.
The true cost of packaging inefficiency isn't just the material price; it's the hidden expense lurking in your warehouse: slow picking times, redundant handling, pallet instability, and wasted cubic space. We integrate strategic packaging design with best-in-class logistics principles to transform your inventory and warehousing from a cost center into a lean, highly efficient profit driver.
Our Warehouse & Inventory Efficiency services are designed to streamline your entire supply chain flow, reducing operational friction, maximizing inventory accuracy, and ensuring your packaging actively supports faster, safer, and more cost-effective fulfilment.
Core Warehouse & Inventory Efficiency Services
These services focus on the strategic alignment of your packaging geometry and format with your internal logistics to eliminate waste, maximize space, and reduce operational friction.
Pallet & Container Utilisation
We analyze the geometry and dimensions of your finished goods and primary/secondary packaging to eliminate wasted air, increase shipping density, and reduce dimensional weight costs.
-
Pallet Optimization: Redesigning case sizes and stacking patterns to maximize the number of units per pallet and improve stability during transit.
-
Container Planning: Strategic analysis to maximize volumetric efficiency across FTL, LTL, and sea containers, reducing total logistics costs.
-
Space Consolidation: Identifying opportunities for material substitution (e.g., nesting, collapsing) to decrease storage footprint and material handling time.
Operational Flow & Handling Efficiency
We audit how packaging interacts with your people and machinery, focusing on ergonomics, speed, and safety during internal logistics, picking, and packing.
-
Picking & Packing Ergonomics: Designing case formats, handle cutouts, and inner packs that streamline the fulfillment process and reduce labor strain.
-
Machine Fit & Line Speed: Ensuring packaging materials and geometries are perfectly matched to your automated assembly, sealing, and labeling machinery to eliminate line stoppages.
-
Material Delivery System: Auditing the supply and delivery of packaging materials to the line to minimize staging space and ensure just-in-time readiness.
Inventory Control & Obsolescence
We focus on optimizing your packaging stock levels and material lifecycle to reduce carrying costs and mitigate the financial risk of obsolete materials.
-
Holding Cost Analysis: Auditing current inventory levels against consumption rates to identify excessive buffer stock and reduce warehousing costs.
-
SKU Rationalization: Consolidating packaging material specifications across multiple products to simplify purchasing, reduce stock levels, and increase volume discounts.
-
Obsolescence Mitigation: Implementing phase-in/phase-out strategies for old packaging stock to prevent write-offs due to design changes or regulation updates.
