Warehouse processes and automation for 3PL providers
Different clients, tight contracts and peak seasons that decide the year. We standardize warehouse processes, prepare sites for the peak and assess automation independently of suppliers.

What logistics providers deal with
Each client works differently
Processes grow around individual contracts until the warehouse has no standard.
Peak season
Black Friday and Christmas need slotting, waves and staffing planned in advance.
Automation with contract risk
Automation pays back over years, while client contracts are often shorter.
What we solve as consultants
Warehouse process optimization
New layout and standardized processes for the Humanic DC operated by DHL.
Peak‑season intralogistics
Data‑driven slotting and active pick‑wave control for a DHL Supply Chain DC before Black Friday.
Automation feasibility

Simulation and flow analysis

The study outputs have clear added value for us. We appreciate the professional approach and the quality of the materials, which help us better evaluate the options for further development of our operations.

Questions about 3PL and contract logistics
Yes. We compare technologies and suppliers on the client's data and prepare the tender. For DHL Supply Chain we delivered an independent assessment of automation options.
Slotting and wave control can be prepared for a single season, as we did for a DHL DC before Black Friday.
