Warehouse Optimisation

Your DC Is Running at
60% of Its Potential.

Most warehouses are operating well below capacity — not because of a lack of effort, but a lack of visibility. Our warehouse optimisation platform gives your team real-time data, AI-driven labour planning and workflow automation to close the gap.

Our Process

Assessment to Results in Four Phases

We start with your data, not a pre-packaged template. Every engagement is scoped to your specific DC environment, WMS platform and operational objectives.

01
DC Assessment

We walk your DC and analyse your WMS data to quantify the gap between current and optimal performance — picking, packing, replenishment and inbound.

02
Solution Design

A custom platform configuration built around your specific processes, WMS integration points and KPI targets. No generic templates.

03
Integration & Rollout

WMS integration, dashboard deployment and team training in a phased rollout that keeps operations running throughout.

04
Continuous Improvement

Monthly performance reviews, benchmark comparisons and ongoing optimisation recommendations to sustain and build on gains.

Why Ensemble

Manage Your Warehouse By Data, Not Instinct

When supervisors are managing by walking the floor, problems are already in progress. Our platform puts the right data in front of the right person at the moment they can still act on it.

We work with your existing WMS — whether that’s Meson, Microlistics, Manhattan, SAP or any other platform — integrating at the data layer to surface what your WMS simply doesn’t show you.

Real-Time Dashboards

Live visibility of throughput, pick rates, dock activity and labour utilisation. Available on floor screens, tablets and mobile devices.

Higher Throughput

Workflow automation, optimised pick paths and AI-driven wave planning increase units per hour without adding headcount.

Fewer Errors

Guided workflows, barcode validation and automated exception flags drive pick accuracy above 99.9%.

Team Engagement

Individual performance visibility and gamification features drive engagement and friendly competition on the floor.

Platform Capabilities

Everything You Need to Run a High-Performance DC

Six core modules that work together as an integrated optimisation platform — or deployed individually based on your priorities.

Labour Demand Planning

AI-powered forecasting tells you exactly how many people you need, in which function, on which shift — days in advance.

Productivity Analytics

Individual and team productivity measured against engineered standards. Identify your best operators and coach those who need support.

Workflow Automation

Automate wave release, replenishment triggers, dock scheduling and exception routing without manual supervisor intervention.

Roster & Shift Management

AI-constrained roster optimisation that balances cost, skills, availability and Fair Work compliance requirements automatically.

Slotting Optimisation

Data-driven product slotting recommendations to minimise travel time, maximise pick density and reduce replenishment frequency.

Multi-Site Reporting

Consolidate performance data across multiple DCs into a single management view with drill-down to individual sites, zones and operators.
