Strategy, Assessment & Roadmapping

The starting point for every successful deployment.

  • Current-State Assessment — Operational audit, maturity assessment, and gap analysis across people, process, and technology.
  • Solution Design & Operating Model — Fit-for-purpose design aligned to your workflows, users, and real-world constraints.
  • Business Case Development — ROI modelling, total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis, success criteria, and rollback planning for investment approval.
  • Technology Roadmap — A structured, phased plan from current state to target architecture.

    Warehouse & Facility Design

    Underpinned by our affiliate Relog — a specialist infrastructure and process consulting business with over three decades of intralogistics experience.

    • Warehouse and distribution centre design and layout planning.
    • Operational process optimisation and re-engineering.
    • Capacity modelling and throughput analysis.
    • Automation readiness assessment and roadmap definition.

    Relog anchors the Assess and Design phases of the Umoja lifecycle, providing the foundational insight that enables effective deployment and long-term optimisation.

    Process & Workflow Optimisation

    Redesigning workflows to remove friction, reduce errors, and improve throughput — before deploying technology on top.

     

    • Process redesign and workflow automation.
    • Flow-first analysis: understanding physical goods movement before selecting technology.
    • Orchestration design for multi-system environments.

    Staging, Provisioning & Deployment

    Devices that arrive ready to work — not ready to configure.

     

    • Android Zero-Touch and AER enrolment, OEMConfig blueprints, and application pre-load.
    • Kitting, accessory bundling, DOA (dead-on-arrival) screening, and burn-in testing.
    • Standardised deployment playbooks to reduce on-site installation risk and time.

      Connectivity & Network Design

      The wireless network is the foundation of every mobile device deployment. Poor Wi-Fi coverage is the leading cause of scanner performance problems in warehouses.

       

      • Predictive and on-site Wi-Fi surveys.
      • Industrial access point placement, controller design, and SSID architecture.
      • WAN, LTE, and 5G connectivity readiness assessments.
      • Network readiness documentation for deployment sign-off.

        Application Development & Integration

        When standard platforms need to be extended or connected.

         

        • Custom application development with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing.
        • ERP, WMS, TMS, and CRM integration using APIs, middleware, and connector frameworks.
        • Bespoke mobile workflow applications with offline capability.

          Labelling, Printing & Marking Compliance

          Label quality and compliance affect every scan in your operation — and every product your customer receives.

           

          • Label material selection and adhesion testing for environment and surface.
          • Printer commissioning, calibration, and verification auditing.
          • GHS and chemical labelling compliance.
          • Lockout/tagout labelling and workplace safety compliance.

            IoT, Vision, Robotics & Automation

            Feasibility assessment and build services for advanced automation initiatives.

             

            • AMR and cobot feasibility studies, site assessments, and risk evaluations.
            • Machine vision system design and vision tunnel specification.
            • Integration of automation into existing WMS and ERP environments.

              Training & Change Management

              Technology adoption is a people challenge as much as a technical one.

              • End-user training and train-the-trainer programmes.
              • Change impact analysis and communication planning.
              • Governance frameworks and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
              • Go-live support and adoption tracking in the weeks following deployment.

              Cybersecurity, Compliance & Risk

              • Mobile penetration testing and vulnerability assessments.
              • Zero-trust security posture design for mobile environments.
              • Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) and POPIA compliance support.
              • Vendor risk checklists and security governance frameworks.

              Sustainability & Circular Economy Advisory

              • ESG reporting support for device estates and consumables.
              • E-waste certificates and responsible device disposal programmes.
              • Recycled media trials and linerless printing transition planning.
              • Carbon impact modelling for mobility and print programmes.
