Five verticals.
One standard
Different physics, identical discipline. From OEM tact-time pressure in automotive to peak-day throughput in e-commerce, we install to one method statement and one quality bar.
Pick a vertical.
What stays the same across all five.
Most integrators specialise in two or three verticals. We cover all five because the discipline that closes an installation cleanly is sector-agnostic. A method statement that survives an automotive shutdown window also survives a retail night-shift cut-off and an e-commerce peak-soak test. The mechanical, electrical and controls layers are different per vertical, but the way they are signed off is identical.
What changes between verticals is calendar. Automotive operates on tact time and shutdown windows. E-commerce operates on peak weeks and soak tests. Retail operates on store cut-offs and reverse logistics. Manufacturing operates on OEE and shutdown calendars. Wholesale operates on pallet velocity and cross-dock waves. We engineer the install plan against the specific calendar, not against a generic spec.
What does not change is documentation. The QC log, the as-built dossier, the SAT script, the punch-list closure protocol, the PPM cadence. Same standards on every site. Same audit trail in every handover. The customer’s ops team should not be able to tell which sector our crew last installed in.
The result is single-vendor coverage for integrators with diverse customer portfolios. One PPM cadence across automotive plus retail plus e-commerce. One reporting layer that rolls up across all of it. One escalation path. Reduces the integrator’s vendor management overhead and gives the customer a consistent service experience across the network.
Five questions before you brief us.
Engagement readiness
- Q.01Do you have a written scope of works, or are we helping define it during the engagement?
- Q.02What is the operating calendar? Shutdown windows, peak periods, store cut-offs, OEE targets.
- Q.03Who owns the as-built record and the QC dossier on hand-over? The integrator, the customer, both?
- Q.04Is this greenfield, brownfield, or recovery? Each path needs a different mobilisation plan.
- Q.05What does “done” look like? SAT-pass, post-soak performance, post-launch ramp targets.
Common patterns we see
- P.01Multi-vendor handoffs that lose 10-15% of throughput at the WMS / WCS boundary in the first month after launch.
- P.02Customers who want one OEM platform but inherited two from previous projects, now needing a unified installation plan.
- P.03Integrators who closed the install but cannot get the customer to sign SAT because the punch list never closed cleanly.
- P.04Brownfield expansions that doubled the footprint but not the OEE - because the install method ate production hours.
- P.05EOL controls platforms in critical assets where the OEM stopped supporting two firmware revisions ago.
Vertical-aware.
Discipline-uniform.
No matter the sector, automotive shutdown windows or e-commerce peak season, the same crew structure and quality regime applies.
