Layout & space
Test how each layout handles everyday movement and peak warehouse demand.
- Compare different layouts
- Find congestion and wasted space
- Test capacity before expanding
Warehouse &
distribution.
Smarter layouts. Better order flow. Warehouse decisions, tested with simulation software.
We model your operation to compare layouts, resources, and fulfillment strategies before you invest.

01 / 05
Inventory & replenishment
Test where stock belongs and when replenishment keeps picking moving.
- Compare storage locations
- Keep picking areas supplied
- Reduce unnecessary travel
Order fulfillment
Follow orders through picking, packing, and dispatch to find delays.
- Compare picking strategies
- Balance people and equipment
- Find delays between steps
Cost & resources
Compare staffing, equipment, and shifts against cost and capacity.
- Test staffing and shift patterns
- Compare equipment needs
- Evaluate cost against capacity
Capacity & visibility
Test peak demand and order mix to uncover queues and capacity limits.
- Test peak demand scenarios
- Identify queues and bottlenecks
- Check how much growth you can handle

The results.
Simulation gives your team the evidence to pursue improvements where they matter most.
Increase efficiency
Get more from your space, people, and equipment by testing how they work together.
Reduce costs
Find unnecessary travel, waiting, and resource use before adding more capacity.
Improve service levels
Test the changes that help orders move through picking, packing, and dispatch.
Mitigate risks
Explore peak demand, disruption, and future growth before changes reach the floor.
Make confident decisions
Back your next investment with scenario comparisons and clear assumptions.

Warehouse simulation consulting
Planning an expansion or improving an existing warehouse? We test your options before you commit to a layout, equipment, or operating change.
Explore our simulation project supportDock capacity and truck queues
Before adding dock doors, test truck arrivals, unloading times, staging space, and available labor together. We model receiving and dispatch to identify where queues form and compare changes to door allocation, schedules, and staffing—so an investment does not simply move the bottleneck.
Warehouse expansion and layout decisions
A mezzanine or additional racking creates storage, but not necessarily capacity. We compare expansion plans with alternative layouts, slotting policies, and replenishment rules under the same demand. See whether receiving, picking, and packing can support the volume you are planning for before committing capital.
Picking and order fulfillment strategy
Compare batch, zone, wave, and discrete picking using your order profile, including peak periods. The simulation tracks travel, aisle congestion, replenishment, and packing queues to reveal the trade-offs. Use the findings to select an operating strategy that supports your throughput and service targets.
Staffing and material handling equipment
Test shift patterns, labor allocation, forklifts, and other handling resources before adding headcount or equipment. We compare workload, utilization, waiting time, and throughput across scenarios to distinguish a resource shortage from a flow problem and assess the options against your cost assumptions.
A study built around your operation
Start with the decision you need to make, your target demand, and the options under consideration. We agree the scope and required inputs, such as layout, order lines, process times, and shift schedules. Assumptions are documented and the model is checked against current operations before testing changes.
Simulation findings you can act on
Depending on the agreed scope, deliverables can include a working simulation model, scenario comparisons, capacity limits, resource analysis, and engineering recommendations. We explain the trade-offs and assumptions behind each option so your team can plan the next investment or operating change. Timing and cost depend on project scope.
