Warehouse DesignLab

Design with Foresight. Simulate with Confidence. Move with Speed.

Give your team the ability to look ahead, not just plan for today. Whether you’re onboarding a new client, preparing for peak, or investing in automation, Warehouse DesignLab helps you see the future of your warehouse before it happens.

By having a living simulation of your warehouse, you can:

Design and test operational changes with real-world dynamics

Explore the impact of decisions before committing resources

Avoid bottlenecks, reduce capex, and accelerate onboarding
Align cross-functional teams around clear, data-backed trade-offs

It’s foresight, not hindsight; delivered in hours, not months.

“We finally had a future-facing view of our warehouse operations and the confidence to back a better plan.”
– Transformation Consultant, 3PL

Reducing Operational Costs

Foresight That Drives Action

Don’t just react, anticipate. Warehouse DesignLab gives you visibility into the ripple effects of your decisions before they happen. Whether you're facing peak volume, automation rollout, or new customer onboarding, you can simulate how your warehouse will perform under future conditions. Real-world application: Test how a 20% demand spike or a shift in order profile affects pick rates, congestion, and SLA compliance before it affects your customers. “It let us see five steps ahead, not just one. That’s not just planning, that’s foresight.” - Head of Strategic Planning, National Retailer

Design Smarter, Design Faster

Drag. Drop. Decide. With an intuitive, no-code interface, you can model warehouse operations, from inbound to dispatch, in hours. Create, compare, and iterate through layouts, flow designs, and automation options without needing a specialist team. Real-world application: A team of planners built three layout variants and tested them under four peak scenarios in a single working session.

Stress-Test Without Risk

Warehouse DesignLab lets you explore your breaking points safely. Simulate equipment failure, SKU proliferation, staffing limits, or unexpected demand spikes and prepare mitigation strategies before your business is impacted. Real-world application: Simulate how your picking operation holds up with a 25% drop in labour availability, or if an element of automation is offline for 2 hours. “It gave us the confidence to walk into peak season knowing exactly what would happen and how to respond.” - Operations Director, 3PL

From Complexity to Clarity

Simulate operations. See outcomes. Make the case. Warehouse DesignLab produces board-ready outputs for every scenario, from cost per order and capacity utilisation to fulfilment time and SLA risk. Now your warehouse decisions come with evidence, not just instinct. Real-world application: Translate a redesigned packing zone into a 12% cost reduction and 16% increase in productivity backed by simulation data. Real-world application: Translate a redesigned packing zone into a 12% cost reduction and 16% increase in productivity backed by simulation data, delivering quicker time to Value.

Time to Value Measured in Days

No more long implementations. No more dependancy on third-parties. Warehouse DesignLab is cloud-based and ready to go. Most teams are running valuable simulations within days, not months. That means you can act on what matters faster.

Stakeholders bought in with High-Impact Visuals

Static presentations don’t sell operational capability; simulations do. Warehouse DesignLab transforms client conversations by making your warehouse strategy come to life. High-speed, interactive simulations help you demonstrate flows, validate assumptions, and explain complexity simply, building trust and excitement with stakeholders and internal decision-makers alike. “Seeing a working simulation made it real. That’s what helped us secure the deal.” - Business Development Manager, 3PL

Strengthen Business Cases and Proposals with Data-Driven Validation

Turn business cases and proposals into wins with evidence, not just claims. Simulate warehouse configurations in minutes and embed performance projections into your proposals. From throughput to labour modelling, show exactly how your design meets the stakeholder's brief, backed by data, not guesswork.

Consistent Operational Alignment to Drive Performance Optimisation

Warehouse DesignLab helps you stay aligned with what was promised to stakeholders. By comparing live operational data with simulated expectations, you can catch early drift, have data-led conversations, and take action before service or profitability is at risk.
