Readiness review, an evidence pack built to the same standard at each site, and follow-up on the actions it raises.
Reporting, tools and routines for distribution centers.
We take on defined projects: building a report, preparing for an audit, documenting a process, or putting a management routine in place. The same person examines the operation, builds the solution, documents it, and stays with it while it settles into daily use.
Reports built inside your own environment, under your own accounts.
Projects
Typical situations, and what gets delivered.
Verify and document
The site's reporting reconciled to what the network reports, with each definitional difference named rather than absorbed.
Each figure traced from source file to screen, shared definitions aligned, and the wording that explains each figure matched to what it now measures.
Measure and act
A map of which steps your systems already time, cycle times from your own transaction records where they do, and a purpose-built capture tool where nothing records the step yet.
An exception workflow, a ranked view of the locations worth acting on first, and the management cadence around it.
Embed and scale
The supervisor routine, the daily view that supports it, and the follow-up that keeps it in place.
A coaching log with named people and open follow-ups, plus the review rhythm that closes them out.
One model serving several sites from a shared definition set, with each building keeping its own thresholds and operating rules.
A report, part by part
Six things a finished report does.
Each number on the report keys to the note beside it, and the figures are demonstration data.
- One status for the day. The report opens with a single verdict against the standards the site set, and names how many of them the day met.
- Each figure carries the standard it is judged against. The metric tiles show the target beside the actual, so a figure is not read without the standard the site set for it.
- A tile says when a source is behind. Where a file arrives late or short, the figure that depends on it says so in place of a number.
- Each hour is set against a normal one. The day is broken out hour by hour from the operation's own records and shown against a baseline, so a single hour can be read in context.
- Each person's numbers arrive with their context. Recent work sits beside that person's own baseline and target, with the hours and scan detail behind a difference, so a supervisor holds the conditions as well as the rate.
- The report names the files it was built from. Every figure on it comes from a listed source, so any number can be taken back to where it came from.
We build on what is already running.
After the direction is set
Most sites already know what they want to improve, from a leadership priority, an improvement program or an outside assessment. The corporate systems report the network; we work one level down, at the individual site, where the daily detail is too heavy to read well in a spreadsheet. Every measure we build has to change a decision, and the ones that stop doing so are removed.
The source files, before the requirements
We start by reading what the operation already produces: the exports, the current reports, the forms and the routines in use. What those files contain decides which questions can be answered well, and that reading comes before any specification is written. It is also where the next project tends to come from: most of what we have built began as something the source data showed that no report was showing yet.
A routine your team owns
Reports and documentation belong to the site from the first day. Targets, thresholds and which metrics appear are set by your team in a configuration workbook the report reads, so a standard changes without a developer.
How a project works
From report to routine.
Every stage is run by Sebastian Gendry, founder of SGRC: remotely, on site when the project needs it, in English, Spanish, French, or German. How deep each stage goes depends on the situation.
- Understand the operation Read the source files, current reports, forms, definitions and routines already in use.
- Build Build the report, tool or automation needed to support the decision.
- Verify and document Check the critical figures by a separate route, then document the logic, definitions, ownership and day-to-day operating steps.
- Train Train the managers and supervisors who will use it in practice.
- Support the routine Stay with the routine while it settles into daily use, and remain reachable after that.
The technology is chosen to fit the problem and the operating environment: Power BI, Power Apps and Power Automate, M and DAX, PowerShell, VBA, or web applications in Flask or Laravel. Where a project needs a purpose-built tool, where it runs is agreed with you before it is built. Documentation is part of the delivery.
