Too many warehouse improvement projects go sideways because teams shop for solutions before defining the problem and requirements.
That's backwards.
Be requirements-driven, not solutions-driven.

Warehouses rarely “break.” They just quietly bleed. High labor costs. Slow cycle times. Errors/returns.
A vendor-neutral “warehouse physical” (ops assessment) can prescribe practical improvements.
No stool sample required.

Interesting move--a reminder that warehouse automation is not a must-have. And sometimes it's not the best solution.
Smart warehousing begins with a good economic business case. The aim should be more efficient operations, not simply more automated ones.

@PlentyofFist@BRICSinfo Since you asked...Canada previously imposed significant tariffs on various US products, such as aluminum, steel, and dairy products.
Not surprising. I’ve served as an expert witness in 50+ cases. Injuries (even fatalities) in warehousing and transportation often result from poor training, weak supervision, or cost-cutting. Think safety is expensive? Try a lawsuit. #safety#warehousing
