We work with you to devise a holistic approach to warehouse fulfillment. Our teams deliver a comprehensive transformation lifecycle strategy to achieve long-term results by:
We meet with your team to gain consensus on KPIs and operational performance targets you must meet. We conduct a set of lighthouse workshops with your team – including our exploration, value identification and momentum labs – to identify challenges and productive opportunities for improvement.
To find the best solutions for your challenges, we get to know your people, processes, industry spaces and automation technology in your current operations. We take a design thinking-oriented approach to transform your fulfillment operation’s challenges into opportunities for enhancement.
We draw from the proprietary knowledge and insights of GreyOrange and its GreyMatter fulfillment orchestration platform to reduce costs and output, and improve the customer experience. Rather than being tied to any one technology brand, we work to identify best-fit platforms and tools that will make your operations more efficient.
We build a long-term relationship with your organization and team, remaining plugged-in to continually reassess as your operational needs change and assist you in achieving continual optimization.
Our teams work with clients with candor and honesty. That’s because while automation is a critical part of the last mile of the supply chain, it’s not the only way to achieve efficiency. Our teams analyze when to automate – and when not to automate – to achieve the best results. We work with you to optimize the right warehouse types. And we collaborate with you as a long-term partner – through business cycles – to continually improve.
When you work with our consultants, you will benefit from:
At GreyOrange we help our clients solve their biggest fulfillment challenges through the scalable power of human, AI and robot collaboration.

We work to continually drive innovation by dedicating 35% of our 900 employees to R&D.
