INDUSTRY SOLUTION
WAREHOUSING & DISTRIBUTION

Operational clarity at the speed of the warehouse.

Your warehouse runs on speed. Your reporting doesn't. Picking accuracy numbers are reviewed at shift end. Dock-to-stock time lives in a WMS report nobody pulls. SLA risk is visible in hindsight, not in time to act.

IntelliFabric connects your WMS, TMS, and ERP to deliver shift-level dashboards your supervisors can actually act on — updated every 15 minutes, not every 15 days.

THE PROBLEM

What's breaking before IntelliFabric.

Every warehousing & distributionoperation we talk to faces the same six problems. If these sound familiar, you're not alone.

Pick errors are caught after the truck leaves

Picking accuracy is measured in post-dispatch audits. By the time a mis-pick is identified, the wrong order is already with the customer — and the return is underway.

Pick accuracy tracks by zone and shift in real time — error patterns surface before dispatch, not in the post-dispatch audit.

SLA risk is invisible until a customer calls

Orders at risk of missing the delivery window aren't flagged proactively. Supervisors only find out when the carrier misses the cut-off or operations gets an escalation.

Orders at risk of missing their SLA window are flagged automatically — with enough lead time to reroute or escalate before the carrier cut-off.

Labor cost is opaque across shifts

Productivity varies 30–40% between shifts but no one compares them in real time. The cost-per-order difference between best and worst shift isn't known until payroll closes.

Productivity and cost-per-order break down by shift and team, live — the gap between best and worst shift is visible while it can still be closed.

Dock utilization has no live view

Inbound and outbound dock scheduling is managed on whiteboards. When a carrier arrives early or late, the ripple effect on staffing and throughput isn't quantified.

Dock arrivals, staffing, and throughput are tracked together — carrier delay impact on downstream operations is quantified automatically, not estimated.

Inventory slotting decisions are based on gut feel

High-velocity SKUs aren't always in the optimal pick zone. Slotting reviews happen once a quarter because the data to support continuous optimization doesn't exist.

Pick velocity by zone is tracked continuously — slotting optimization signals surface from the data every day, not once a quarter.

Cost per order has no breakdown

You know the average cost per order. You don't know if it's driven by labor, carrier rates, dwell time, or damage. Fixing the wrong thing costs more than the problem.

Cost per order breaks down by labor, carrier, dwell, and damage — so you fix the right component, not just the biggest line item.

KPI LIBRARY

Every metric your team needs — pre-built.

These KPIs ship with IntelliFabric for Warehousing & Distribution. No custom build required — they arrive encoded with your data on day one.

WHY INTELLIFABRIC

Built for Warehousing & Distribution.
Not adapted from something else.

Generic BI tools can be configured for any industry. IntelliFabric ships with warehousing & distribution logic already encoded — data models, KPI definitions, and integration connectors specific to your operations.

Shift-level visibility — not daily averages

Every KPI updates every 15 minutes. Supervisors have the numbers to act before the shift ends — not after the debrief, when the cost is already locked in.

Cost per order broken down fully

Labor, carrier rates, dwell time, and damage are all modeled separately. You know which component is driving cost variance — and which lever to pull.

WMS, TMS, and ERP — one data model

We've built the connectors between Manhattan, Blue Yonder, FedEx APIs, and SAP before. One unified intelligence layer — no custom ETL to maintain between systems.

SLA risk surfaced before dispatch

Orders at risk of missing their delivery window are flagged automatically — with enough lead time to reroute, escalate, or adjust before the carrier cut-off.

INTEGRATIONS
