Seven places we build
control.
Five consulting practices and two software products, all built around the warehouse you already have. We don't replace your WMS — we put a control layer around it, and where it helps, we ship the software for that layer ourselves.
Workflow Visibility & Control
Make daily work visible, prioritized, and controllable.
Replace the dashboard-says-green / customer-says-otherwise gap with a control layer the floor actually uses. Define the work, surface the queue, give every shift a clear next action.
- A live picture of what is in flight, what is late, and what blocks throughput.
- Shift handoffs that take minutes, not meetings.
- Escalation paths that trigger before customer impact, not after.
Inventory Health & Accuracy
Turn inventory data into early-warning signals and daily action.
Variance, rework, and location accuracy are diagnostics. We build the routines, counts, and metrics that catch drift in days instead of quarters.
- Cycle-count cadence sized to your risk, not your headcount.
- Location accuracy you can defend in an audit.
- A weekly inventory review that drives decisions, not slides.
Inbound Flow & First-Touch Quality
See arrival volume, labor, and putaway risk before the building congests.
Most outbound failures are inbound problems wearing a costume. We make receipts, putaway, and ASN quality visible at the dock so the building doesn't get surprised.
- A dock plan that matches labor to expected volume.
- Putaway aging that stops orphan pallets at twelve hours, not twelve days.
- Carrier and vendor scorecards your team will actually maintain.
Frontline Operating Routines
Help supervisors and leads execute consistently, shift to shift.
Tier huddles, gemba walks, leader standard work — the basics, written for your building. Calm, repeatable, and adopted by the people doing the work.
- A daily rhythm that takes 30 minutes and runs without you.
- Issues escalated with context, not adrenaline.
- New supervisors productive in weeks, not quarters.
Operational Cleanup & Inventory Reset
Focused project support to reset accuracy and restore confidence.
When the numbers can't be trusted, build trust back deliberately. A bounded engagement to clean, count, reconcile, and hand back an operation that knows what it has.
- Clean slot, lot, and quantity baselines.
- Root-cause writeups for the top variance drivers.
- Standing routines so the reset is the last reset.
Dock Signal — Appointment & Dock Scheduling
A control layer for the dock: appointments, check-in board, yard and gate.
Brownfield Dock Signal is our own software product, built the same way we build everything else — plain, fast to adopt, scoped to the floor. Warehouse teams schedule dock appointments, run a live check-in board, and email carriers a tokenized link so they never need an account. Self-serve signup, a 14-day free trial with full access, and your brand on every carrier-facing message.
- From signup to first booking in about ten minutes.
- Live check-in board with arrival, dwell, and no-show numbers per site and dock.
- Carrier confirmations sent under your name, logo, and contact details — no carrier login.
- Yard and gate flow for drop trailers: gate in, yard board, move to door, gate out.
FieldCheck — Photo-Verified Corrective Actions
Walk the floor. Assign the fix. Verify the standard.
FieldCheck is our second software product, built for the gemba walk. Managers run area checks against your checklists, capture observations with a photo, and assign every issue an owner. Owners submit the fix with an after photo, and reviewers verify the standard was restored — closing the loop on the work that usually dies in a notebook. Role-based access for Admin, Manager, Owner, and Viewer, with reports rolled up by site.
- Every observation becomes an owned, dated corrective action — not a hallway conversation.
- Before-and-after photo evidence on every fix, searchable by site and checklist.
- Faster, cleaner gemba walks: capture in seconds, assign on the spot.
- Site-level rollups that show repeat failure modes, not just last week's hotspots.
Start with an Operational Assessment.
Two to four weeks on site and in the data. You get a written read of where the operation drifts, a prioritized list of control gaps, and a recommendation you can act on with or without us.
