Operational Simulation Software

Test warehouse design concepts and supply chain strategies before investing.

End-to-end scenario testing provides vital assurance

Knowing a new system will operate as designed, before you make the investment, is essential. Knowing how your distribution center will perform under a multitude of complex business scenarios shouldn't be left to guesswork. 

That's why FORTE has developed the industry's most complete and reliable operational simulation software - Simulation Director™. Using Simulation Director, our supply chain management consultants can help customers forecast system performance by creating "real" conditions that strain every element of the automated warehouse - from conveyor systems to system data flows to WCS integration. FORTE Simulation Director software is most commonly applied to the following scenarios: 

Throughput Analysis

• Process modeling, including inputs, outputs, interactions and more

System Design Requirements

• End-to-end scenario testing
• System integration and interface testing
• Plan assumption validation
• Design cost-benefit analyses
• Order simulation for normal and irregular volumes
• Complete dataflow simulation, incorporating ERP, WMS, WCS and other external systems

Implementation and Build

• Design evolution simulation
• Design and throughput validation

Post Implementation

• Update and upgrade validations
• Business process and system change testing
