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 a warehouse audit cost?
The first site visit is free. On it we agree what the audit will cover and how we’ll run it, and you get a fixed price for that scope before any paid work starts.
How long does a warehouse assessment take?
It depends on the size of the site and how deep the audit goes. For a small warehouse the findings can be ready a couple of days after the visit; for a large one we set the timeline with you once the scope is agreed.
What do you need from us?
A walk-through with someone who knows the floor, and an export of recent orders and your SKU list from your WMS or ERP, ideally including a peak period. If data is thin, we time the work on the floor instead.
Will it disrupt our operation?
No. We watch the work as it normally runs and ask a few questions as we go. Nothing is stopped or moved during the audit.
What do we get at the end?
A report with your KPIs against industry benchmarks, a floor plan showing where travel, waiting and rework happen, and a ranked plan of fixes with the cost and payback of each.
Is this the same as a rack inspection?
No. An inspection checks racking for damage and safety; an audit measures how well the warehouse works. We note rack issues on the walk, and a full pallet rack inspection can be booked alongside.
Can you make the changes too?
Yes. Lenokers designs layouts and installs and moves racking, so the fixes in your plan can be done by the same team, or by anyone you choose. See warehouse layout design.
Are you selling us equipment?
No. The audit is independent of any vendor. If automation would pay back, the plan says where and why; if a better layout or process does the job, it says that instead.
Tell us about your warehouse and what’s slowing it down. We take it from there.

A warehouse audit measures how well your building really works: how long it takes to get a pallet from the dock into a rack, how far pickers walk, how often orders go out wrong, and how full the storage really is. Lenokers runs warehouse audits for operations across Oregon, Washington, California and beyond, from our base in Portland, and turns the findings into a plan ranked by payback.
A full audit follows the work from dock to dock. Receiving: how trucks are booked, checked in and put away. Storage: how full the racking is, and whether each SKU sits in the right place for how often it moves. Picking and packing: routes, pick rates, errors and how orders are released. Shipping: staging, loading and dock schedules. Along the way we look at labor, equipment, the WMS and how the shifts hand over.
It starts with a free site visit, where we see the operation and agree the scope. Then we time the work on the floor, talk to the people who run each shift, and analyse your order, SKU and inventory data, ideally across a peak. The findings are compared with industry benchmarks and with what the building could do, and every fix is priced with its payback. You get the report and a walk-through of it, and nothing is changed until you decide.
Dock-to-stock time, from truck arrival to stock put away. Order lines per labor hour. Share of picker time spent walking. Order picking accuracy. Storage positions in use at peak. Trucks loaded on time. Industry surveys such as WERC’s DC Measures rank dock-to-stock time and picking accuracy among the metrics warehouses track most, and they are a fair starting point for any benchmark.
In most manual warehouses, walking is the largest single part of a picker’s day, often around half of it, according to Bartholdi and Hackman’s Warehouse & Distribution Science. Slotting puts the fastest-moving SKUs in a forward pick zone close to packing, at waist height, so the same pick list takes a fraction of the walk: in the example below, 210 feet instead of 830. Batching orders by zone shares what walking is left. It is usually the quickest, cheapest win an audit finds.
Lean thinking names the waste an audit hunts for: travel, waiting, double handling, searching for stock, over-processing and errors that cause rework. Tools such as 5S, value stream mapping and standard work make the improvements stick once they are found. A lean warehouse is not one with fewer people; it is one where each person’s time goes into moving orders out.
Want a first look on your own? Walk the floor with our free warehouse audit checklist (PDF): 19 yes-or-no checks across receiving, storage, picking, shipping and safety, plus the six KPIs worth tracking. Three or more “no” answers in one area is a good reason for a full audit.
The price depends on the size of the site, how many processes are in scope and how much data there is to analyse. With Lenokers the first site visit is free, and you get a fixed price for the agreed scope before any paid work starts. If the plan calls for a new layout, new racking or a move, the same team can carry it out, from warehouse layout design to installation, with automation advice when automation pays back.
