The Peak Readiness Score is a free, 8-question check of how ready your warehouse is for peak and for automation. It looks at peak pressure, daily volume, time spent walking and searching, storage space, the cost of mistakes, how often your operation changes and your timeline.
You get a score out of 100, where a higher score means your operation is better prepared for peak, plus a breakdown by area and a recommended Geek+ starting point, right on this page.
Every operation has its own peak. Your score starts from your operation.
When every client peaks at once
Multiple clients reach their busiest weeks in the same building, each with a different order profile. Mobile robots can be reassigned between client zones, so capacity follows demand instead of staying fixed to one contract.

Volumes rise, the product mix shifts to seasonal items and stores still expect on-time deliveries. Dense tote-to-person storage keeps a wide range close to the pick station, so high-velocity items stay easy to reach.

Volume spikes cannot come at the cost of accuracy or traceability. Shelf-to-person and tote-to-person workflows integrated with your WMS support lot and serial tracking at every pick, even at higher volumes.

Your team spends less time walking aisles and lifting, and more time picking and packing accurately. That means a safer, steadier workday and the capacity to handle peak with the team you already have.
Your answers point to the solution that fits what you handle, if any. You don’t need to choose one before you start. Each clip shows how the system works.

The Peak Readiness Score is a free, 3-minute check that shows how ready your warehouse is for peak and for automation, based on what your busiest weeks revealed. It works in four steps.
Fill in a short form with your name, business email, company and country or region. It takes under a minute, and phone and message are optional. Your details let a Geek+ team member follow up with answers specific to your site if you want them.
The questions cover what you handle, how your site copes at peak, daily pick or move volume, time spent walking and searching, storage space, the cost of mistakes, how often your operation changes and your timeline. Every question has multiple-choice answers, so no exact data is needed, and a short note under each explains why it matters.
Your Peak Readiness Score appears on this page as a percentage, with one of three readiness levels: Peak ready, Some gaps or Under strain. A higher score means your operation is better prepared. You also see your readiness in three areas (peak capacity, everyday flow, and space and flexibility), your biggest gap and the Geek+ solution that fits what you handle.
Every result links to a case study showing how another operator handles peak with Geek+ robots, and a Geek+ team member may follow up with answers specific to your site. If your site already handles peak well, your score will say so, along with the signs that would change that.
Yes. It is free, with no obligation to buy anything.
About 3 minutes in total: under a minute for the form and about 2 minutes for the 8 questions.

You see a case study on how another operator handles peak, and a Geek+ team member may follow up to answer your questions about your site.
Often, yes. Geek+ shelf-to-person and tote-to-person systems are deployed in existing facilities. A Geek+ automation specialist can review any constraints specific to your building.
A high score means your operation handles peak well today, so automation may not be urgent. A low score means peak is putting real strain on your operation, which is where automation tends to help most.
Your score will show it. Sites that already handle peak well are told so, along with the signs that would change the picture.
