Warehouse Design & WMS Consulting
A warehouse that grew one rack at a time usually wastes space, walking time and labour. 7th Mile Shift designs and improves warehouses and plant stores for manufacturers in Hosur, Bengaluru, Chennai, Coimbatore and across India, from laying out a new facility to fixing picking accuracy in an existing one.
We combine layout and flow design with the system to run it, including WareIX, our warehouse management system built for mid-market Indian manufacturers. Founder K. Veerabaskar’s background at TVS Motor Company and in plant operations means designs that work on a busy shop floor, not only on paper.
Our product: WareIX, our warehouse management system for mid-market manufacturers, runs inbound, putaway, picking, packing and dispatch. Book a demo.
What we do
We study your inbound and outbound volumes, SKU profile, order patterns and growth plans to size the warehouse and define zones, docks and material flows.
We choose storage methods and racking, such as selective racks, flow racks, mezzanines and bin shelving, by SKU velocity and size, and lay out aisles and locations to cut travel. Read our guide to warehouse layout.
Standard work for each step, with location discipline, labelling and checks that improve accuracy and speed.
WareIX covers inbound, putaway, picking, packing and dispatch. We implement it alongside the process changes, so the system and the floor stay in step.
We assess where material-handling equipment or packing automation pays back, and free up space before you build or rent more.
Business benefits
- More storage in the same building, and fewer extra warehouses
- Faster receiving, picking and dispatch with less walking and handling
- Higher picking and stock accuracy through location control
- Real-time visibility of stock by location with WareIX
How we work
Every engagement follows The Shift Engine, our four-stage method:
- Diagnose: measure space use, flows, travel and accuracy in your current warehouse.
- Design: layout, storage, racking and process standards, with options and costs.
- Deploy: support the re-layout, racking installation and WareIX go-live, and train your team.
- Drive: track throughput, accuracy and space use with you until the new set-up is stable.
