AI Slotting
Every SKU.The right location.
WareBee's AI slotting engine re-slots your warehouse from a digital twin of your layout, stock and orders — improving throughput and resource utilisation without new hardware.
Start re-slotting
Strategic and tactical slotting, one engine
Use strategic (macro) slotting to set the shape of your warehouse — zones, velocity bands, family groups. Use tactical (micro) slotting to keep it sharp week after week.
The WareBee Dynamic Optimisation engine delivers optimal results in just a few hours.
- Macro slotting for seasonal and structural change
- Micro slotting for continuous improvement
- Before and after comparison for every run
Slot for peak before peak arrives
Simulate demand scenarios in the digital twin and re-slot ahead of peak season instead of during it.
Every recommendation is scored on travel, congestion and utilisation, so you know the payoff before a single pallet moves.

What is AI slotting?
Slotting is deciding where every SKU lives in your warehouse. AI slotting hands that decision to an optimisation engine that weighs demand velocity, item affinity, congestion, ergonomics and replenishment effort across thousands of locations at once — a problem far beyond spreadsheets.
WareBee runs slotting on your warehouse digital twin. The engine proposes moves, the twin simulates the result against your real orders, and you get a before-and-after comparison of travel, throughput and utilisation for every run.
Because re-slotting is cheap to evaluate, it stops being a once-a-year project. Slot strategically for the season, then let tactical micro-slotting keep the warehouse near optimal as demand shifts.

What is AI slotting?
Slotting decides where every SKU lives in your warehouse. AI slotting hands that decision to an optimisation engine that weighs demand velocity, item affinity, congestion, ergonomics and replenishment effort across thousands of locations at once — a problem far beyond spreadsheets.
How do strategic and tactical slotting differ?
Strategic (macro) slotting sets the shape of your warehouse — zones, velocity bands and family groups — for seasonal and structural change. Tactical (micro) slotting keeps it sharp week after week for continuous improvement. WareBee runs both from a single Dynamic Optimisation engine.
What does the slotting engine take into account?
The engine weighs demand velocity, item affinity, congestion, ergonomics and replenishment effort across thousands of locations. It proposes moves, the digital twin simulates them against your real orders, and you get a before-and-after comparison of travel, throughput and utilisation for every run.
Can I re-slot ahead of peak season?
Yes. Simulate demand scenarios in the digital twin and re-slot ahead of peak instead of during it. Every recommendation is scored on travel, congestion and utilisation, so you know the payoff before a single pallet moves.
How long does a re-slotting run take?
The Dynamic Optimisation engine delivers optimal results in just a few hours. Because re-slotting is cheap to evaluate, it stops being a once-a-year project — slot strategically for the season, then let tactical micro-slotting keep the warehouse near optimal as demand shifts.
Do I need new hardware or a WMS change to re-slot?
No. WareBee re-slots from a digital twin of your layout, stock and orders and works alongside the WMS you already have — no new hardware and no rip and replace. It returns slotting moves for your team and WMS to execute.
