DistroDynamics
What is involved in an optimization project and how long does it take?
No, it’s not a WMS and there is no interface with your current system. The DistroDynamics AI is a stand-alone platform that provides insights and recommendations to optimize your warehouse in terms of space utilization, configuration and processes.
How can this be performed remotely when other consultants require a team of people onsite for weeks of observations?
The DistroDynamics system sets itself apart by combining an embedded knowledge base with unparalleled precision and efficiency, outperforming traditional consulting methods that are increasingly inefficient, costly, and nearing obsolescence. The lower costs are a direct result of the system's extraordinary computational capabilities and operational efficiency, delivering smarter solutions at a fraction of the expense.
Parameters that once required extensive observation and manual measurement by large teams can now be efficiently calculated by the Engineered Intelligence system. This platform virtually eliminates the need for onsite observations, streamlining the process and significantly reducing both time and labor requirements.
How can the prices be so much lower?
What is the typical cost for an Optimization Assessment?
Costs are scaled based on the number of SKUs in the analysis, as well as the scope and breadth of the project. As an example, the cost of a full optimization assessment for a warehouse with 30,000 SKUs or less is fixed at $4,800. This would then include the detailed warehouse specifications as well as a month of follow up analysis. However, if the results from the initial optimization assessment are not meaningful enough, then the project ends and you pay nothing.
What data is required?
No. The DistroDynamics EI is an in-house platform that is used for consulting, providing you with actionable recommendations to improve your warehouse performance and efficiency.
Frequently Asked Questions
The main data requirement is a fairly standard product file, listing a variety of product parameters that would typically be gathered using SQL queries from your enterprise system. This product file is provided by the client. DistroDynamics doesn't access client data or their systems.

Warehouse projects involve two distinct types of assessments. The first is a 'what if' analysis, where the AI evaluates a specific, predefined scenario to understand its implications. The second is an 'optimization' analysis, designed to determine the most effective strategy for addressing challenges or improving operations. Most optimization projects are a blend of both approaches, often starting with optimization and transitioning into scenario-based assessments as needed. A warehouse project could be a short as a day, or several weeks, depending on the number and complexity of assessments required.
