The free Flow Snapshot covers one building and one recent week from two redacted CSV exports: shipments and labor, up to 10,000 combined rows. You receive a one-page baseline with up to two metrics the data supports, the formulas and up to three prioritized next checks. Missing fields are identified. No industry ranking or savings claim is inferred.
What happens next
- We confirm your question, available fields, the free scope and a review slot.
- You share the agreed redacted shipment and labor exports. No payment or card is needed.
- Your one-page Snapshot arrives within 72 hours after the agreed slot starts and usable data is accepted. You keep it whether or not you buy anything afterward.
Want a wider read afterward? The optional full Flow Scan is $500, with its scope agreed separately. Apply the paid Flow Scan fee once toward a Standard audit accepted within 30 days. The combined price remains $4,500.
The free Snapshot is an ongoing entry offer, separate from the full Flow Scan. If you received an introductory free full Flow Scan offer, we honor its stated terms after confirming data fit and timing. No public case study is required. Requesting either service does not book paid work.

Built for the person responsible for the building.
For distribution center managers, independent 3PL and fulfillment operators, and brands running their own warehouse. Bring a real question and shipment and labor exports; we agree which measures can answer it.
A specific question
Examples: why labor cost per order rose, whether units per paid hour changed, or which periods missed a documented ship promise.
Comparable data
We agree the date window, units, cost definitions and denominators before reporting. Missing evidence is labeled unavailable.
A decision owner
When the data supports a next step, the brief proposes one action or investigation and a measure to review. You confirm the action owner; if the signal is inconclusive, we say so.
Warehouse KPI reporting that leads to a next step.
Ops Intelligence Briefing — $3,000 per month. One site, two stable export formats and four agreed KPIs. Two scheduled briefs per month compare the latest complete 14 days with the preceding 14 days, using the same weekday mix.
Four defined measures
Labor cost per completed shipped order, units per direct paid hour, on-time shipment rate among completed orders, and explicitly recorded overtime share. Each definition is agreed before reporting.
Two decision briefs
Each includes the calculations, comparison, data limits and a next action when supported. Your reviewer checks the figures before delivery.
A review that fits
One optional 20-minute monthly review and one written clarification round per brief, up to three questions about its calculations and findings. New formats, extra sites and new KPIs are separately scoped.
A stable process
Reports depend on fresh exports from you. This service does not include a live dashboard, WMS integration, continuous monitoring or implementation.
The $750 setup covers two export mappings, four KPI definitions and one baseline, with a four-hour scope limit. It is waived if the same setup was already paid for in an audit. Each review uses up to 100,000 completed-order rows and 28 daily labor rows. We confirm data readiness, file deadlines and capacity before payment. No automatic renewal or savings result is promised.

Clear scope. Checkable calculations.
Each finding separates observed data, assumptions and proposed actions. If we make a calculation error, we correct it. We agree deliverables, acceptance checks and dates before payment. We do not promise a savings total or a business outcome.
