When demand rises and labor budgets stay flat, most distribution center leaders face a tough question: "How can we move more product without overworking our team or overextending our resources?"

You're not alone. Across the country, operations leaders are under pressure to increase throughput, improve accuracy, and boost efficiency—often with the same or fewer people. But there's good news: the solution doesn't have to mean a costly tech overhaul or a total reorganization.

You deserve a smarter way to optimize performance.

At FHI, we understand what you're up against because we’ve been in distribution centers like yours for over 30 years. We believe leaders shouldn’t have to choose between workforce efficiency and operational visibility. That’s why we combine trained labor teams with powerful productivity tools to deliver results that last.

The Problem: Fragmented Labor and Siloed Data

Most operations leaders are dealing with fragmented labor—partially trained teams, high turnover, and inconsistent productivity. On top of that, they're flying blind when it comes to visibility, relying on outdated systems or disconnected reporting tools that don’t deliver real-time insight.

It leads to firefighting instead of forecasting. Burnout instead of momentum. And delays that ripple across your entire supply chain.

The Better Way: Integrated Labor + Real-Time Visibility

We created FHI INSITE because we knew there had to be a better way. This tool gives operations leaders real-time data on labor performance, bottlenecks, and opportunities for improvement. It doesn't just track activity—it helps you act on it.

But FHI INSITE is only part of the equation.

When you pair it with FHI’s managed workforce, you gain a fully-aligned team that’s trained to meet your KPIs and supported by onsite leadership who know how to get results. It’s not just about doing more—it’s about doing it better.

A Plan That Works:

  1. Evaluate your current labor model and data visibility.
  2. Partner with FHI to develop an integrated workforce solution.
  3. Implement FHI INSITE and our performance-based teams.
  4. Optimize continuously with real-time insights.

The Result: Momentum You Can Measure

With FHI, you get more than just labor. You get a team that shows up ready, leadership that aligns with your goals, and tools that keep everything on track.

That means faster decision-making. Fewer bottlenecks. And throughput that scales without stress.

You don’t have to settle for outdated systems and overwhelmed teams.

You can gain control. Build momentum. And lead with confidence.

Let’s talk about how to unlock the next level of efficiency in your distribution center.
