A slotting copilot for your ops team — it pinpoints where your layout adds avoidable labor cost and ranks the changes worth making. Your team stays in control of every move. Free to start, no commitment.
No integration project. No redesign. Works with your operation exactly as it runs today.

The problem
Most teams track labor spend — few track how much of it traces back to old layout decisions. These four patterns show up often enough to check first.
Top movers often land wherever there was space — so your fastest SKUs sit in your slowest locations, driving the most travel.
Check: Where are your top 50 SKUs by pick frequency located relative to the dock?
Once-fast SKUs slow down but keep their original slots. Premium aisle space fills with items that no longer earn it.
Check: When did your last slot review happen? Which SKUs have changed velocity since then?
Store by category instead of velocity and pickers repeat the same long trips — a few aisles drive most of the total travel.
Check: Which three aisles are visited most per shift? Are your fastest movers near them?
Slotting gains hold 3–6 months, then velocity drift erodes them. With no way to measure the decay, teams notice only when labor costs creep back.
Check: When was your last slotting project? Has anyone measured whether it's still holding?
Assessment scope
Three phases: establish a baseline, surface the highest-impact signals, return ranked recommendations — with estimates, not guarantees.
How it works
Four steps. The copilot surfaces and recommends; your team decides what to act on at every stage. Click any step to explore it.
What you'd actually receive
Every suggestion includes the reasoning behind it. Nothing moves until your team decides to act.

Scenario model
Three scenarios based on industry benchmarks. Not a forecast — actual results vary by warehouse size, SKU mix, and current layout.

Get my assessmentWhy we built this
We hit this while building a fulfilment system. The WMS held years of pick data — but nothing tied it to where SKUs actually sat on the floor. Slotting ran on intuition. The signal was there; nobody was reading it.
Other ops leaders had the same gap. Tools generate reports. Consultants generate projects. Neither answers the question that matters: which slot changes are worth making right now?
We're early by choice — working directly with a handful of warehouses to prove the impact on real operations, not slideware.
Wareintel exists to answer one question, clearly: which slot changes are actually worth making this week?
