Improve the operation you have. Engineer the operation you need. We optimize warehouse processes and existing systems, integrate the right automation, and implement new WMS or WCS technology when the business case supports it.
Fulfillment Engineering • Existing Systems Optimization • Automation Integration • WMS / WCS
We begin with your operational requirements—not a predetermined technology solution. Our work spans facility design, process and software optimization, automation, and full systems implementation when justified.
Current- and future-state process mapping, warehouse layouts, slotting, material flow, throughput, capacity, labor and growth modeling.
Find more value in current systems through workflow redesign, configuration analysis, inventory accuracy, exception handling, picking, packing and labor improvements.
Assess and integrate AS/RS, robotics, conveyors, sortation, put walls and controls—based on operational fit, throughput needs and return on investment.
When existing platforms cannot meet requirements, support system selection, requirements, interfaces, testing, cutover, go-live and stabilization.
Compare process-only, software, and automation alternatives with data-driven capital, labor, service and payback analysis.
Coordinate operations, IT, vendors and integrators from design through deployment, ensuring solutions perform on the warehouse floor.
Sometimes the greatest return comes from improving the processes and technology you already own. We evaluate the full range of options before recommending capital investment.
Map current workflows, measure performance, identify bottlenecks and define service and growth requirements.
Explore process, layout, labor, slotting and existing WMS/WCS improvements before adding complexity.
Build the case for targeted automation or a new WMS/WCS only when performance, scalability and ROI warrant the change.
Selected outcomes from projects led or supported by our founder in previous leadership and consulting roles; not presented as engagements of the new brand.
Leadership of Manhattan Active WM deployment and automation integration for a new 850,000-square-foot distribution center, with subsequent network-wide WMS rollout across 21 additional sites. Technologies included OPEX Perfect Pick AS/RS and Locus Robotics.
End-to-end process mapping and redesign of inventory, order flow, and material movement for a $100M manufacturer, reducing lead time from six weeks to one week.
Early WMS development and automated distribution center design, combining warehouse software, material handling, and operational processes.
Integrated distribution operating models encompassing 3PL coordination, inventory management, cold-chain shipping, reverse logistics, and order-to-cash workflows.
We approach technology decisions from the warehouse floor and the executive conference room—combining hands-on implementation knowledge with business-case discipline.
Fulfillment Integration is a proposed consulting brand built around the experience of Steve Chadbourne, an engineering and operations leader with more than 35 years in warehousing, automation, and enterprise systems.
Whether you need to improve an existing WMS, redesign material flow, evaluate automation or plan a replacement system, start with a practical conversation about the operation and its goals.
