The CrateOS team uses its digital twin platform to model decisions and unlock value in your warehousing network.

how it works

Five-step engagement

Pipeline

Reads the data your WMS, OMS, TMS, and labor systems already export, four-wall or network-wide, whether on-prem, hosted, or cloud.

Digital Twin

Your warehouse operations, rebuilt from that data. Replay any timeline, end to end. Use AI to unlock system and process changes.

Analysis

Every hotspot quantified, every cause ranked. Every bright spot identified and ready to surface and spread through the network.

Solution

We build the fix and ship it into your stack. Code, config, or process. It’s yours, hosted anywhere.

Evaluate

A monitor stays on the metric. We measure the operation with the fix against a baseline of the same operation without it.

the network

Share improvements across your network

Whether it is a systemic solution, an optimized process, or an SOP change, a fix proven at one building surfaces across the entire network.

01NetworkEvery building, one viewEvery site reports into one model, normalized so buildings can be compared like for like.
02NetworkOne site solves it, every site inheritsA change worked out at one site is tested against each of the others’ records before it ships anywhere.

04ProcessDown to one processA finding resolves to a place and a cause. Here it is a pack station: the carton rack beside the bench sits empty, so every carton is fetched from across the aisle. It could as easily be let-down, wave release or dock assignment.
05Root causeDown to the root causeEvery finding is typed and priced: wasted motion, an OTIF risk, a lost pallet, a safety exposure. This one is an under-filled carton.
06Loop closedThe fix ships, with a monitor on itThe platform sizes the carton to its contents, ships the change through your release process, and leaves a monitor on the number. The same fix goes to every site with the same problem.

Where we’re deployed

Our warehouse and AI experts work alongside your team, using the digital twin to guide each project and deliver measurable value.

WMS implementation

Upgrading or deploying a new WMS, we model your decisions before go-live, then keep the twin running to find hotspots and drive self-improvement loops.

Automation

We justify the capital, design the solution that maximizes ROI, and monitor production against benchmark until the return is fully realized.

AI implementation

We build your AI roadmap and use the twin to measure performance against baseline, giving your executive team proven value they can report.

Warehouse design

Designing a new building or reconfiguring an existing one, we model the layout against the volume it will carry and test the flow before it is built.

Rescue missions

Is your automation, AI, or WMS not delivering the promised ROI? As an agnostic third party, we twin the solution, identify the gaps, and recover the return.

Upgrade deferral

Is your WMS sunsetting? Keep adding new functionality with the CrateOS layer and defer the expensive upgrade.

Next step

Bring us your WMS cutover

We rebuild a recent timeline from your export data and test the decision against it before it reaches the floor.

Doing this for your building means working with your systems and your people. That is the job, and this is where it starts.
