Stop losing money in your warehouse.
From chaos and guesswork to structure and calm.
Almost every company is trying AI today, but few get results from it. Usually the problem is not the AI, but the process and the figures underneath. DVD Intelligence puts those right, from the warehouse floor to your dashboard, with AI that warns you in time.
Works on top of your WMS or ERP. You don't need to buy a new system.

How you can start
Start small, with one process or one department. That way you see results quickly, and then decide on the rest.

Do you recognise this in your warehouse?
Then you are not alone. It is rarely down to the effort of your people, but to how the work and the figures are organised.
For each problem you see what is done about it in the process, in the data and with AI.
The figures don't add upThere are Excel files and reports, but they are not kept up to date properly and are full of errors. Nobody trusts the figure any more.
ProcessWe record who fills in which figure when, and where it comes from.
DataThe figures come straight from the WMS and other systems into one dashboard, without retyping.
AIA check flags when a figure is illogical or missing, before anyone makes a decision based on it.
Solution: Dashboards →When someone drops out, the work stopsFew people can take over each other's tasks. In case of illness or leave there is searching and shuffling, and that costs time every time.
ProcessEvery task gets a fixed work instruction, so the work is not stuck in one person's head.
DataA training matrix shows who can do which task, and where a team is vulnerable.
AIEvery morning there is a proposal for who can take over which task, and who needs which training.
Solution: Training system →Productivity is not measured correctlyThe standards are old, estimated or measured on a way of working that changed long ago. As a result, planning and staffing rely on the wrong figures.
ProcessThe handling steps are measured on the floor and given fixed standard times.
DataProductivity per hour, zone and shift is calculated automatically from the scans.
AIYou get an alert when productivity deviates from the standard, with the likely cause.
Solution: Time measurement and KPIs →Information is scattered everywherePeople look for their answers in different Excel files, Power BI reports and emails. That takes time, and two sources often give different figures.
ProcessWe determine which information each role really needs, and where it is.
DataOne data model and one dashboard per role replace the separate files.
AIAn assistant answers questions in plain language on your own figures, such as: which orders will leave late today?
Solution: AI assistant →Improvements stay superficialImprovements are made, but often on gut feeling and without knowing the real cause. The problem disappears for a while and then comes back.
ProcessWalking the floor, a walking route and the order flow show where time is really lost.
DataThe cause is proven with figures from your systems before anything changes.
AIAI finds patterns in months of scans and errors that the naked eye cannot see.
Solution: Order flow and walking route →Improvements don't stickImprovements happen separately, without a plan, owner or follow-up. After a few weeks everything slips back to the old way of working.
ProcessEvery improvement becomes a project, with a goal, an owner and an end date.
DataA board and a dashboard show every day whether the new way of working keeps working.
AIEvery week there is a summary of what has improved, what is slipping and which action is still open.
Solution: Visual boards and daily huddle →Forecasting and planning are done by handThe planning is made by hand every day, on experience or barely at all. There are too many or too few people, and that only shows during the shift.
ProcessThere is a fixed planning round, with clear agreements on who decides what and when.
DataA forecast shows the volume per day and per hour, based on your own history.
AIAI forecasts the volume and proposes a staffing level, which the planner confirms or adjusts.
Solution: Forecast and staffing →See. Solve. Sustain.
First it becomes visible where time and money are lost. Then it is solved together with the team. After that, boards, dashboards and AI make sure it does not slip back.
