Here’s how Kallikor puts evidence behind every decision.

Decisions costed everywhere they touch

A change to transport shows up in the warehouse, and a change in the warehouse shows up on the road. Kallikor models your sites and network together, so every decision is costed across each site, route and store it touches, for a true cost to serve.

Northern network · Cost to serve

What does moving northern stores to three deliveries a week really cost?

Transport falls by £420k a year. But bigger orders add 18% to pick hours at North DC on delivery days, so cost to serve falls by only 1.2%.

North DC · Peak day

Can outbound cope on our peak day?

No. Pallets ready to load outrun the night shift from 04:30 to 05:45, and the 06:00 handover makes it worse. 6 trailers leave late.

Plans stress-tested in the detail they deserve

Test a plan at the level it will actually run: shifts, pick rates, dock slots and vehicles, against the operating conditions you face, from an ordinary day to peak. That’s what gives you the confidence to commit.

Recommendations that stand up to questioning

Ask why, and see the reasoning behind every recommendation: the data it used, the assumptions it made and the trade-offs it weighed. Challenge any of them and see what changes, then explain the decision to anyone who needs to sign it off. It brings the building into the boardroom: a model of your own site or network that everyone in the room recognises and can discuss.

Robotic picking recommendation

Dex

Automation options · Peak

Recommendation

Add two robotic pick cells before peak. Service holds at 97% at Black Friday volumes.

Why not extend the shuttle? It’s cheaper.

The shuttle isn’t the constraint at peak: picking is. [1] Extending it costs £1.4m and service still falls to 91%. [2]

A shorter path to every decision

Your first answer takes four to eight weeks, while we build and validate your model. After that, each new question takes minutes, not months, because it starts from a working model.

The questions we answer

Real questions from customer work. Every one is tested across your sites and network together.

  • “Can this site cope with higher volumes without service slipping?”
  • “How much headroom do we really have for peak?”
  • “When will we need more space to keep up with our growth plan?”
  • “What would a new DC do to cost and service across the network?”
  • “Which site runs out of capacity first on our five-year plan?”
  • “Do we need a new DC, or can we extend shifts?”
