Site visits
We count locations with the people who already know the unofficial homes
A visit is the centre of every study we sell. This page is the briefing we would otherwise repeat on the phone: access, what to have ready, and what we will not do while wearing a visitor badge.
Access and induction
You provide a named host who can open the zones in scope. We follow your induction, high-vis, and truck-distance rules. If a zone is bonded, licensed, or closed for rack inspection, it stays out of the map rather than being guessed from the doorway.
What we ask you to prepare
- A movement extract covering a stretch you trust — not the quietest week of the year.
- A sketch of pick, reserve, bulk, marshalling, and battery or charging bays.
- Case dimensions or permission to measure on the beam when cube is missing from the file.
- Shift times so we can walk when waves are live, including evenings if that is when congestion appears.
What we count
Pick-face occupancy, replenishment that blocks piece-pick, waits at intersections, shadow locations that exist only in people’s heads, and door cycles in the cold. We photograph beams only with your leave and never publish a client’s aisle as marketing.
What a visitor badge is not
We do not direct your labour, rewire your WMS, or operate MHE. If a swap needs a truck we cannot legally drive, the host’s driver makes the test move. If the test move fails on aisle width, the recommendation is withdrawn the same afternoon.
After we leave
The map and the floor briefing belong to you. We remain available by mail from Nereabolls while labels go up, for questions about the locations we named — not for an open-ended second study unless you commission one.
