The Optricity team has identified and created solutions that both elicit cost savings and provide strategic improvements to warehousing operations, frequently providing thought leadership to the industry. With over three decades of experience in supply chain, Optricity leverages its expertise in warehousing, mathematics, and software engineering to offer products like OptiSlot DC™ (OptiSlot), an advanced slotting optimization tool that supports efficient put away, picking and pallet building. “The crucial combination of distribution center domain expertise and understanding of optimization fundamentals and advanced concepts has resulted in the development of highly effective slotting optimization functionality,” explains Basmajian. “Optricity developed the OptiSlot product to provide benefit by directly targeting opportunities for improvements in both the forward pick and replenishment areas.” Benefits range from reduced selection travel times and better controlled replenishment cycles to better use of distribution center space, a safer work environment through ergonomic considerations, better service levels through stable load building and reduced stockouts, and a generally better work environment due to proactive measures suggested by the slotting optimization software.
In addition to its commitment to providing benefit through the OptiSlot software, Optricity also recognizes the importance of investing in its clients and partners to help further and foster innovation in the industry. “Optricity is a software company primarily focused on developing, implementing and supporting (with reckless abandon) our products,” Basmajian explains.
