The NexOps Benchmark Engine
NexOps Benchmark turns your warehouse operation into a number you can act on. You measure up to 100 operational metrics across every department - picking, receiving, putaway, storage, packing, shipping, returns, plus the diagnostic blocks - and the platform benchmarks each one against 100+ industry standards from WERC, MHI, ASCM, HSE and Six Sigma. Every gap comes back priced in pounds, so the output is your Total Recovery Opportunity: the annual sum you can reclaim by closing the distance to the industry median.
The platform runs the audit alongside you. Each metric ships with its instruction, its formula and its source system, plus built-in calculators and a live stopwatch for floor timing, and the moment you save a value it plots against the P50, P10 and P90. Those measurements feed our own AI engine, trained on hundreds of operational case studies, which reads the whole facility rather than each metric in isolation and returns a diagnosis with prioritised, editable next steps. You walk away with a recovery figure, a ranked action plan, and the evidence behind both.

How it works
You set the facility profile and the financial assumptions once - labour rate, headcount, floor area, revenue, throughput - and the engine wires up the £ recovery model and auto-fills every metric that depends on them. Then it walks you department by department. You tick the areas you want to measure; you do not have to measure all 100. Each metric arrives with its instruction, its formula and its source system, plus built-in calculators and a stopwatch for live floor timing. You enter the raw inputs, the platform calculates the KPI.
The moment a metric is saved, it is plotted against the industry distribution - your value against Worst (P90), Median (P50) and Best (P10) - so you see where the process sits the instant you record it. The gap panel updates as you work. Those measurements then go into our own AI engine, trained on hundreds of operational case studies, which reads the whole facility and returns a diagnosis with prioritised, editable next steps. The AI proposes, the auditor who walked the hall decides.
A full Operational Benchmark Report the moment the audit closes: your Total Recovery Opportunity in £, built bottom-up per operational area with no double counting; recovery broken out by area; and a prioritised action plan where every initiative carries its root cause, phased steps, required resources, expected £ impact, payback horizon and monitoring KPI. Behind it, every audited metric side by side with P50, P10 and P90.
Built by practitioners
The benchmark database is the same one used to run real operations audits - live-updated against the latest metrics from ASCM, WERC, MHI and HSE, and sharpened on hundreds of SME case studies. The standards behind it come from the world's leading operational authorities.

Benchmark vs consultant
The NexOps Benchmark is an operations benchmark for warehouse, distribution centre, e-commerce fulfilment, 3PL, cold chain, manufacturing and assembly operations. Here is how the self-serve benchmark compares with a traditional consulting engagement.
| NexOps Benchmark | Typical operations consultant | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | £299 one-off, or from £199 per month | £5,000 - £25,000+ per engagement |
| Time to results | Same day - results build as you enter data | 4 - 12 weeks of workshops and interviews |
| Coverage | 100 operational metrics across every department | A sample of metrics, scoped by budget |
| Method | Deterministic, auditable maths against WERC, MHI, ASCM, HSE and Six Sigma standards | Varies by consultant and is often opinion-led |
| Output | Total Recovery Opportunity in GBP with a prioritised action plan | A report with recommendations |
| Repeatability | Re-run any time to track progress, included in the plan | A new engagement each time |
Whichever operations benchmarking software you choose, check it against five criteria:
The NexOps Benchmark is built to meet all five. See plans and pricing or download the free sample report.
