Warehouse Performance Optimisation

The reasoning layer for mature spirits.
Continuously optimise. Reduce waste. Protect assets.

Continuously optimise warehouse performance. Reduce waste. Protect maturing assets.

The warehouse is working against itself

Static movement logic, paper picklists, and driver discretion create structural waste that compounds over years of maturation.

80%

of pallet movements are non-value-added

£1.5M

annual gross margin loss from cask leakage

729,000

unnecessary moves per year

9–10 FTE

wasted capacity on avoidable movements

How it works

A continuous loop from commercial signal to warehouse execution.

1

Signal arrives

A blend instruction changes, a forecast updates, or a new delivery requirement enters the system.

2

Plan regenerates

Flux Yield dynamically regenerates the pick, restow, and laydown plan against a rolling 30-day horizon.

3

Drivers execute

One task per screen. Sequenced batching. No routing decisions required by the driver.

4

Reality feeds back

Each confirmation triggers localised regeneration, re-sequencing future tasks and keeping the plan aligned.

Five jobs, one platform

Every capability is mapped to a real job your operation needs done.

1
Demand Reconciliation

Reconcile demand with reality

When forecasts change, dynamically regenerate pick, restow, and laydown plans so the warehouse always executes against current reality.

2
Handling Reduction

Reduce structural handling intensity

Optimise sequencing and laydown to eliminate avoidable rehandling at source. Reduce cumulative stress on maturing assets.

3
Explainability

Every decision explained

Clear reasoning and confidence levels at the point of action. Planners govern, directors defend, trust compounds over time.

4
Commercial Integration

Link operations to outcomes

Align warehouse movement decisions with forward-looking demand and loss modelling. Efficiency supports financial performance, not just throughput.

5
Value Realisation

Prove and defend value

Track movement intensity, NVA ratio, and financial impact in real time. Measurable, attributable, and defensible in governance forums.

Same people. Same warehouse. Different outcomes.
