Warehousing

Transforming underperforming warehouse and distribution operations into lean, high-throughput, financially stable systems — from Class A facilities to non-traditional conversions.

The Challenge

An Inefficient Warehouse Is a Competitive Liability

In today's complex supply chain environment, poor warehouse performance isn't just a cost center problem — it actively erodes margins, damages customer satisfaction, and limits your ability to scale. Hidden costs from poor inventory accuracy, bottlenecked labor flows, and underutilized space compound quietly until they become a crisis.

Patrick specializes in diagnosing these issues early and implementing structural improvements that deliver measurable, lasting results across every critical pillar of modern warehouse operations.

Approach

From Cost Center to Profit Engine

Applied Lean Six Sigma Black Belt methodology to structural warehouse improvements, resulting in verified savings and revenue gains exceeding $1,000,000. Improvements reduced upstream redundancies and improved order processing speed by two days at 3PL contracted warehouses.

Successfully managed and optimized over 3.5 million square feet of space across nationwide 3PL and 4PL operations. Implemented advanced WMS and OMS technologies — including Veracore, Cargowise, and Extensiv — and created House-In-Order inventory systems that maintained order accuracy above 99.98% for over nine years.

Managed, budgeted, and achieved EBITDA targets for P&L statements up to $500 million. Grew contribution margin from 38% to 48% in a single year through deep financial analysis and cost control, including a 41% reduction in COGS at a cold chain operation.

Experience includes optimizing existing facilities, opening Class A facilities, retrofitting non-traditional spaces (a former 1880s meatpacking plant, a granite mining cave in Illinois, a Pepsi bottling plant), negotiating leases and leaseholder improvements, and project managing full cold storage conversions.
