Bring WMS exports, item masters, slot dimensions, and replenishment logs into one approachable canvas, whether files or live feeds. Validate units of measure, normalize attributes, and automatically flag noisy records, so your next placement reflects reality instead of wishful thinking, debates, or outdated assumptions.
Use rolling windows that smooth spikes yet keep seasonality visible, blending picks, cubes, and touches to express true demand pressure. Share transparent logic with supervisors, inviting critique that improves accuracy while avoiding black-box confusion, finger-pointing, and complacency when conditions change overnight.
Define flexible tiers across families and waves, so rising items pull forward automatically while slow movers drift back without painful projects. When an outlier breaks pattern, capture the exception as a rule, documenting reasoning that survives audits, vacations, and the next high-stakes inventory count.
Quarantine fragile, leaky, or regulated items with explicit placement patterns and signage cues. Predefine substitutes, kit members, and cross-dock candidates, so the engine never guesses under pressure, protecting service levels, worker safety, and customer trust when tight deadlines collide with imperfect data.
Push cube utilization high without sacrificing reach, visibility, or motion economy by tying height, weight, and grip constraints directly to rules. The result is denser storage, fewer injuries, calmer audits, and happier teams who finish shifts strong instead of exhausted and discouraged.
Host short working sessions where stakeholders propose rules, test scenarios, and review visual outcomes. Because the logic is readable, decisions travel smoothly from floor to boardroom. Everyone recognizes the why behind changes, reducing politics, surprise escalations, and the dreaded rework marathon after go-live.
