The place

The situation

A distribution centre for one of Canada's largest retailers. Forklifts and operators were losing time to rework and extra travel just to complete their pick paths.

What it was costing

Labour hours, equipment time and throughput, every shift, at a scale where small inefficiencies add up fast.

What we did

  • Analysed thousands of routes, aisles and pick paths to find where travel was being wasted.
  • Modelled the optimal placement of equipment and material to shorten the paths.
  • Built the method so it adapts as volumes and product mix change, rather than being a one-time fix.

The result

15%less travel time
9%higher efficiency and output
$580K+a year in labour savings at the facility's run rate

The work

The situation

A 15-person law office running on paper-heavy processes that hadn't changed in decades. Every new hire had to be walked through everything by senior staff, because the way work got done lived in people's heads.

What it was costing

Senior time spent training instead of billing, slow onboarding, frustrated new hires, and a firm that couldn't grow without adding more of the same strain.

What we did

  • Defined what the firm actually needed to deliver at the end of each process, independent of how it was being done.
  • Reverse-engineered a new process from that outcome, cutting the steps and hand-offs that didn't contribute to it.
  • Replaced paper-based steps with modern, digital methods.

The result

~50%total process time cut, by nearly half
Paperuse reduced to almost nothing
Retentionhigher employee satisfaction and better retention of new hires
Scalablea documented system the firm can scale to a larger team and multiple locations
