Why your next competitive edge starts on the warehouse floor

March 27, 2025

It’s tempting to think of logistics as a seamless flow: goods in, goods out, everything running like clockwork. But beneath that surface lies a different reality: blind spots, delays, and a constant race to stay ahead of what’s happening inside the warehouse.

These operational gaps are inconvenient AND costly. Misplaced stock, outdated inventory data, and inefficient space usage can create ripple effects that impact everything from delivery times to customer satisfaction. And yet, many facilities are still relying on periodic manual checks or fragmented systems to understand what’s actually happening on the ground.

At Dexory, we believe that the warehouse floor is a tactical space as well as where your next competitive edge begins.

From visibility gaps to opportunity

Let’s be honest: most warehouse management systems (WMS) do a decent job at managing planned workflows. But when it comes to giving you a live view of stock locations, dwell times, or the knock-on impact of a single delay? That’s a different story.

And that’s exactly where visibility gaps turn into real business risks.

Whether it’s a missing pallet, an inaccurate pick, or inventory taking up valuable space, a lack of real-time data prevents teams from responding with speed or confidence. The result is slower throughput, higher labour costs, and missed opportunities to optimise.

This is where Dexory comes in. Our fully autonomous robots continuously scan and capture real-time inventory data across the warehouse, feeding directly into DexoryView, our AI-powered platform built for true operational intelligence.

Dexory autonomous robot scanning inventory across warehouse racks, capturing real-time data at up to 10,000 locations per hour to deliver full stock visibility, optimise space, and enable fast, data-driven decisions through the DexoryView platform

Real-time insight = real-time decisions

With up-to-date, high-frequency scans, Dexory customers move beyond reacting. They’re proactively reallocating labour, speeding up putaway and picking, and reducing costly errors.

Instead of discovering issues days (or weeks) later, they know what’s happening right now. And with that visibility comes agility: the ability to adapt on the fly, prioritise urgent shipments, and improve order fulfilment with confidence.

And when things do go wrong, because they will, it’s not a fire drill. It’s a fast fix.

Inventory is just the start

Real-time scanning is only part of the story. Our customers are also using DexoryView to:

  1. Visualise inventory across every rack, aisle, and zone with 3D digital twins
  2. Optimise space utilisation by identifying dead zones or underused areas
  3. Automate cycle counts and reduce the need for disruptive full stocktakes
  4. Track trends over time and benchmark site performance across multiple warehouses

The result? A smarter, faster, more resilient operation, without adding complexity.

The future belongs to the visible

The pressure to deliver faster, more accurate, and more cost-effective logistics has never been greater. Yet the answer isn’t always adding more tech or more headcount, it’s about using the right data at the right time to drive better decisions.

That starts on the warehouse floor.
