One pick file in. Today’s moves out, net of replen.

SlotWise draws your warehouse from its location codes, keeps a scored queue of moves and plans each shift on the minutes it gives back: walk saved, minus replen added.

One loop, from pick file to proof.

    Upload picks

    Item, location code and date per row.

    Location codes become aisles and bays.

    Every item scored on every upload.

    Plan today

    A shift of moves, in trips, each with a reason.

  5. 5

    Claim and move

    Slots held, move sheet printed.

  6. 6

    Prove it

    Picks after the move measure the saving.

Every move is judged on net minutes.

A nearer bay saves steps. A smaller face costs refills. SlotWise puts both on every move and plans only what is left after replen.

Refills go from 0.50 to 1.00 a day. The walk saved still wins.

SKU-0921Never staged

Refills go from 0.25 to 2.00 a day. Replen eats the walk, so the move stays off the plan.

The planner turns a queue into a shift.

It reads the queue, the room left in each bay, what is already in flight and how fresh the picks are, then picks a shift of moves, in walking order, grouped into trips, each with a reason a floor lead can repeat.

It can only choose from the bot’s rows. Every number on screen is recomputed from those rows, never taken from its prose. This is its real output on the sample warehouse.

Slotting tools start with a drawing. This starts with a CSV.

Questions operators ask first.

A pick file: one row per pick or per item, location and day, with an item, a location code and a date. A pick count column is optional. A list of every location in the building is optional too; with it the bot knows which bays have empty slots.

See your own warehouse in it.

Run the walkthrough on your pick file without signing up. Keep the map, the bot and the planner with a free account.
