Same system. Three places it pays for itself first.
Spatialis OS is one product, not a family of editions. What changes between these operations is which part of the model does the heavy lifting.
Runs on standard handhelds. No robots, no gantries, no capex before the first look.
01Third party logistics
One building, several clients, no confusion about whose is whose.
A 3PL runs other people’s stock in shared space, and the hardest part is proving whose it is and what it cost to handle. Separate databases per tenant mean a client’s data is genuinely theirs, and a spatial model means you can show them their footprint rather than describe it.
- Client stock separated at the storage layer, not by a filter
- Space actually occupied, by client, as an area rather than a count
- Onboard a new client without rebuilding your location scheme
02Manufacturing
A stores function that the line can see into.
Production stops for want of a part that was in the building the whole time. When the store is held as a model, the person on the line can be shown where something is instead of raising a request and waiting for somebody to walk.
- Raw material, work in progress and finished goods in one model
- Expiry and batch visible in place rather than in a report
- Answer a shortage question without leaving the line
03Distribution
Training a new picker in days rather than weeks.
In a fast moving distribution operation the cost is in walking and in the time it takes a new starter to become useful. Both are functions of how well a person knows the building. A model turns that knowledge from something you accumulate into something you can be shown.
- New starters see the route rather than memorise the codes
- Empty pick faces found by looking, not by counting
- Replenishment prioritised by where the walking actually is
Not sure which of these you are?
Most operations are two of them at once. Describe the site and we’ll tell you honestly whether a spatial model changes anything for you.
