Take the Assessment

Answer for what actually happens on a normal day, not what the process is supposed to be.

Area 1 of 6

Inventory Accuracy

  1. We can act on our inventory numbers without stopping to verify them by hand.

  2. We know where each item is located by site, zone, aisle, bin, or shelf.

  3. Our available inventory is accurate enough for sales, purchasing, and fulfillment decisions.

  4. We have a clear process for handling damaged, returned, quarantined, or held inventory.

Warehouse Organization

  1. Fast-moving products are stored where they are easy to pick and replenish.

  2. Backstock, pick faces, and overflow locations are clearly separated and controlled.

  3. Temporary and ad-hoc storage locations are tracked as carefully as permanent ones.

  4. Employees can find products quickly without relying on one person who just knows where things are.

Receiving and Putaway

  1. Incoming inventory is received, verified, and made visible quickly.

  2. Putaway follows defined rules instead of wherever there is space.

  3. Purchase order discrepancies are captured and resolved before they create downstream issues.

  4. Newly received stock is put away and sellable the same day.

Picking, Packing, and Shipping

  1. Pickers have clear pick instructions and do not waste time searching for products.

  2. We have a reliable way to prevent picking the wrong SKU, lot, size, color, or quantity.

  3. Order status is visible from pick through pack and ship.

  4. Shipping errors and short ships are reviewed regularly enough to spot patterns.

Replenishment and Reordering

  1. We know when pick locations need replenishment before they run empty.

  2. We can identify slow-moving, dead, excess, and at-risk stock.

  3. Reorder decisions are based on current inventory data.

  4. Stockouts and overstocks are tracked well enough to understand root causes.

Systems and Visibility

  1. Our inventory system is connected enough to reduce duplicate entry across accounting, ERP, ecommerce, or shipping tools.

  2. Managers can see key inventory and fulfillment metrics without building a manual report.

  3. We have an audit trail showing who changed inventory, when, and why.

  4. When a customer asks, we can quickly answer what is available, where it is, and when it can ship.

Your Role

Which best describes your role?

Used to compare answers across roles. It doesn't change your score.

How the Score Works

Every statement describes something a well-run warehouse does. The less often it's true in yours, the more points it adds.

The Scale

Answer Points
Consistently true 1
Usually true 2
Sometimes true 3
Rarely true 4
Never true 5

Six Areas

Four statements each, every area scored out of 20. The total runs from 24 to 120, and the higher the score, the more chaos.

  • Inventory AccuracyWhether your counts and locations can be trusted for decisions.
  • Warehouse OrganizationHow stock is laid out, separated and found.
  • Receiving and PutawayHow fast incoming stock becomes accurate and sellable.
  • Picking, Packing, and ShippingWhether orders go out right and can be tracked to the door.
  • Replenishment and ReorderingHow you refill pick locations and decide what to buy.
  • Systems and VisibilityHow connected your systems are, and how fast you can answer questions.

Four Tiers

24 to 47

Controlled

Your warehouse is likely running with strong visibility and process discipline. Focus on optimization and continuous improvement.

48 to 71

Manageable but Noisy

The operation works, but friction shows up in labor, exceptions and manual follow-up. A good time to tighten processes, before growth makes issues harder to fix.

72 to 95

Operational Chaos Risk

Gaps in inventory accuracy, location control or fulfillment discipline may be costing time, sales and customer confidence. Prioritize fixes that give you real-time visibility.

96 to 120

High Chaos

The team is likely relying on heroics, tribal knowledge or manual workarounds. Make a structured inventory and warehouse process a near-term priority.

Take It as a Team

If two people score the same statement very differently, that's a signal: the process may not be documented, followed consistently or visible across departments.

Invite After Your Result

Share a link, or read out a 6-character code in your next team meeting. Answers from the same team are grouped together.

By Role, Never by Name

Answers are labeled by role, such as owner or picker. In a small team, colleagues may still recognize each other's answers.

From 2 People to 20+

Small teams see where each person differs. Larger teams see how each role's answers compare, and where they disagree most.

Questions About the Assessment

Is the assessment free?

Yes. Your tier shows as soon as you finish. Add your name and email to see your full report and get your scores by email.

How long does it take?

About 10 minutes. There are 24 statements, and each takes one click to answer.

How is the score calculated?

Each statement scores 1 point if it is consistently true in your warehouse, up to 5 if it is never true. Each of the six areas has four statements and is scored out of 20, and the total runs from 24 to 120. A higher score means more chaos.

What happens to my answers?

Your answers and scores are stored without your name or email, so we can see patterns across all responses. We may publish combined results, never anything that identifies a person or company. If you enter your details, your scores are added to your contact record and our team may follow up about them. See our privacy policy.

Can my team take it together?

Yes. After your result, invite colleagues with a link or a 6-character code. Their answers group with yours, and everyone on the team sees the same comparison, labeled by role rather than name.
