A third-party logistics warehouse handling fulfillment for 30+ e-commerce brands was struggling with efficiency. Pickers walked miles of unnecessary distance daily, popular items were stored far from packing stations, order volume spikes caught them understaffed, and error rates were costing them client contracts. We built an AI operations system that optimizes every aspect of warehouse workflow.
Warehouse operations involve interconnected optimization problems — the best pick path depends on current inventory locations, which should be dynamically slotted based on velocity, which depends on predicted order mix, which varies by day and season. The system needed to solve these simultaneously while working within physical constraints (aisle widths, equipment availability, labor skill levels).
We built three interconnected AI modules. The demand forecasting module predicts order volumes by SKU group for optimal staffing. The dynamic slotting module repositions inventory based on velocity patterns, co-pick frequency, and physical characteristics. The pick optimization module generates batched, routed pick lists that minimize travel distance. All three modules update continuously and feed into a warehouse management dashboard.
