Dmytro and Lenokers went above and beyond my expectations. We were looking to liquidate a good amount of pallet racking from our warehouse and between our first contact and our warehouse being cleared of our racking, barely a week had passed! They were kind, courteous, and more than professional for the entire experience. I would not hesitate working with them again!
Lenokers did a great job for us. Professional and timely. I recommend there services.
Dmytro was great to work with
All went smoothly
Will definitely be calling again

We had to move some inventory around very quickly to make room for a new customer and we ran out of rack space. I called Lenokers and they had exactly what we needed. Within 3 hours we had our racking and we're back to getting organized!
Thanks guys!
It was a pleasure working with Dmytro and his team to improve our warehouse! Timely communications and service.
How much does logistics consulting cost?
The first site visit is free. On it we agree the scope and the phases, and you get a fixed price for each phase before it starts, so you can stop after any phase with a result you can use.
How long does a warehouse concept study take?
It depends on the size of the operation and how much data there is. A focused concept for one building can be a matter of weeks; a new distribution center from first concept to go-live runs over months. We set the timeline with you up front.
Are you tied to any equipment or software vendor?
No. Our recommendation isn’t tied to what anyone sells. We compare options and suppliers on the same terms, including ones we don’t carry, and show you the numbers behind the choice.
Do you work on existing buildings or only new ones?
Both: re-layouts, expansions, moves to a leased building and new builds. The method is the same: start from your data, price the options, then design the one you choose.
Can you help us choose a WMS or a 3PL?
Yes. We map your processes, write the requirements, score the shortlist and compare the total cost over five years. For a 3PL we also compare rates and service levels and plan the transition.
Can you carry out the plan?
Yes. Lenokers designs layouts, handles racking permits and installs and moves racking, so the plan can be built by the same team; equipment and software come from whichever suppliers win the tender. See warehouse layout design.
What do you need from us?
Order and SKU data from your WMS or ERP, building drawings if you have them, your growth plans, and time with the people who run the floor for a couple of workshops.
Do you work with smaller operations?
Yes. The work is scoped to the decision in front of you, from a one-building re-layout to a new distribution center, so a smaller operation pays only for what it needs.
Send the building, the volumes and the deadline. We take it from there.

Logistics consulting helps you make the big warehouse decisions on numbers: how much space and equipment you need, how the building should be laid out, which systems to buy, and how to get there without stopping shipments. Lenokers provides logistics and warehouse consulting for operations across Oregon, Washington, California and beyond, from our base in Portland.
A logistics consultant turns your orders, SKUs and growth plans into a design: how goods should flow from dock to dock, where they should be stored, which equipment and software will handle them, and what it all costs. The value is an outside, independent view backed by data, so a decision worth hundreds of thousands of dollars isn’t made on a supplier’s say-so.
Concept and master planning for new, leased and expanding buildings. Process design for receiving, storage, picking, packing and shipping. Equipment and automation strategy, from smarter manual work to automated storage. WMS selection and 3PL consulting. Tender support and project management through go-live. Many projects start with a warehouse audit that shows where the current operation loses time.
A master plan compares two or three ways to meet the same need. In this example, an 84,000 sq ft building ships 3,650 order lines a day from static racking, with forklifts moving every pallet and pickers walking the aisles with carts: four hours from order to dock. Automated inside the same walls, with pallet shuttle storage, lifts, conveyors, a three-level mezzanine pick module, a vertical conveyor and a sorter to every door, the same orders reach the dock in 24 minutes, ten times faster, with 12 people on picking and packing instead of 28. Each option is priced on investment, running cost and payback before anyone commits; this one costs $3.9M and pays back in 2.6 years. See the example concept study (PDF).
Pallets ride a conveyor from receiving to a lift, which hands them to shuttles that run on rails inside the storage block, five levels high, with no forklift aisles at all. When stock is needed, a shuttle brings the pallet out, the lift lowers it, and a conveyor takes it to the decant station, where cases go into totes. A vertical conveyor carries the totes up to the mezzanine; pickers fill orders from carton-flow racking on three levels, and tote conveyors bring every order down to the pack stations, from where a sorter sends each carton to its dock door. Nobody walks the building looking for stock: the stock comes to the people.
Supply chain consulting looks at the whole network: suppliers, transport, where warehouses should be and how much stock to hold. Warehouse consulting works inside the four walls: layout, processes, equipment and systems. Lenokers focuses on the warehouse, where much of the cost and most of the daily problems sit, and works alongside your transport and sourcing teams.
Choosing a warehouse management system starts with your processes, not a demo. Requirements come from how you receive, store, pick and ship; then each system is scored against them and compared on five-year cost of ownership. Choosing a 3PL works the same way, with rates, service levels and the transition plan compared side by side.
Racking makers, automation integrators and software vendors will all design for free, around what they sell. A neutral plan compares their options on the same terms, which usually means a better fit, a sharper price in the tender, and no paying for capacity you don’t need.
Fees depend on the decision: a re-layout of one building is a smaller job than a new distribution center. With Lenokers the first site visit is free, and each phase has a fixed price agreed before it starts. Because Lenokers also does warehouse layout design, racking permits and installation, the plan doesn’t end in a report: the same team can build it.
