Warehouse

Warehouse Operations Consulting for Shopify Brands

Audit your warehouse workflow, optimize layout and staffing, and reduce per-order cost without buying new software.

Who it's for

You run an in-house warehouse and the numbers — cycle time, error rate, labor cost per order — have been creeping in the wrong direction. You suspect layout, pick path, or staffing model is the issue, but you have not had outside eyes on the operation in 12+ months.

What's included

On-site (or virtual) workflow audit with stopwatch data, observed bottlenecks, and photo evidence
Layout, slotting, and pick-path redesign recommendations against your real SKU velocity
Staffing model review: shift structure, role specialization, peak vs. baseline staffing
KPI baselining: cycle time p50/p95, error rate by stage, labor cost per order, accessorial exposure
A 90-day execution plan with named owners, sequencing, and weekly check-ins
Optional 30/60/90-day post-engagement review against the baseline numbers

Typical timeline

4–8 weeks for the audit and execution plan; ongoing review optional.

Typical investment

$15K–$45K for a full audit, depending on warehouse size and SKU count.

Frequently asked

Questions operators ask before scoping warehouse operations consulting for shopify brands

Do you only work with in-house warehouses?

No — about a third of these engagements audit a 3PL relationship rather than an in-house team. The methodology is the same; the deliverable shifts toward SLA renegotiation rather than internal redesign.

Will you stay on to implement the recommendations?

Sometimes — for large layout or WMS-adjacent changes we often scope a separate implementation engagement. For smaller workflow tweaks the internal team executes against the plan with monthly check-ins.

What size warehouse does this typically cover?

5K–80K square feet, $5M–$75M brand revenue, 300–8K orders/day. Outside that band the diagnostics change meaningfully and we scope custom.
