Site visits
The walk before any board is printed
Every study that claims to show fulfilment on the floor starts with a host at the gate. This page is the practical sequence we use in United Kingdom depots, from induction to the office briefing.
-
Gate and host
We arrive at the time you set around a receipt window or a pick wave, not at a marketing hour. The named host signs us in. We will not wander a yard unescorted on the first visit.
-
Induction, then silence
After your site talk we stay out of the way until the host is ready to walk. Forklifts keep their right of way. We do not stage an aisle for a photograph and we do not record faces or registrations.
-
Inbound, pick, bay
Depending on the commission, we time yard hold and put-away, walk a typical wholesale order, or stand at the last bay while a driver takes a consignment. The host chooses which mornings are representative. A quiet Tuesday is a poor sample if Friday is the problem.
-
Paper on the table
If you keep a late list, a carrier booking sheet, or a roster for a peak week, we read it in the office with the people who wrote it. Missing paper is not a failing; it simply means the first board will be thinner.
-
Briefing in the warehouse office
For the flagship study the boards come back to the same room. Shift leads should be present. Corrections are taken in their words. We leave printed copies; we do not require a wall-mounted screen.
Where we will travel
Mainland Great Britain is included in the starting rates. Northern Ireland and offshore islands are quoted before we book ferries or flights. A second depot is a second visit, even if it shares a letterhead.
What we need from you
A host, induction, and honesty about which shift actually shows the pause. If you want a three-week study, start with this sequence on the first half-day; the rest of the weeks follow the same manners.
