Stage 2
Warehouse layout creation process
Based on the business requirements and desired operational metrics, the Arrow Logistics warehouse optimization software automatically iterates through various options and creates the perfect warehouse layout. All that the users must do is specify where the main elements of the building itself are – loading bays, doors, etc. using our graphical warehouse design tool.
Stage 3 Outcome
As a result, our software will generate a warehouse layout that will be optimal to achieve stated business requirements and will perform to meet desired operational metrics. With time, when the business grows and its goals and objectives change, it is possible to re-run the simulation to optimize the warehouse in accordance with new business requirements and current KPIs READ MORE
