The VARGO® approach

We don’t start with technology. We start with your operation

Every fulfillment environment is shaped by a different mix of factors: order volume, inventory profile, customer requirements, service levels, labor realities, systems, and constraints. Together, these create a truly unique operation — one that must be understood before it can be properly improved. Designing around pre-selected technology rarely delivers the productivity gains operators are looking for.

VARGO® starts with that operating profile, using it to determine the right fulfillment model and shape the automation, software, and integration approach around it.

Approach Hero
One approach. Five stages.

From operating reality to sustained performance

VARGO® carries each engagement from real operating requirements through design, integration, live execution, and continuous improvement.

01

Assess the operations

Understand the operation before prescribing the solution.

VARGO® evaluates order volume, inventory profile, service requirements, labor, systems, constraints, and capital appetite to define what the operation needs to achieve.

02

Design for the business reality

Shape the solution around the operation.

VARGO® designs workflows, automation, software, and systems around the operation’s requirements and constraints—simulating the design to stress-test fulfillment outcomes against peak and changing operating conditions
03

Install and integrate

Make the pieces work together.

VARGO® coordinates suppliers, automation installation, software integration, testing, and end-user training so the designed operation can go live as intended.

04

Orchestrate live execution

Keep work moving as conditions change.

COFE® WES orchestrates work across people, automation, and systems in real time, with VARGO® providing 24/7 support for the live environment.

05

Continuous Improvement

Keep improving after go-live.

VARGO® uses operational data to target specific improvements in throughput, labor, sequencing, service levels, and cost per unit as the operation evolves.

Approach Bottom
Execution in practice

Built for real-world operations—not ideal conditions

Existing facilities. Legacy systems. Multi-vendor automation. Live operations that cannot stop.

Brownfield confidence

VARGO® designs transformation around facilities that need to keep running—working within existing infrastructure, automation, systems, and operating constraints.

VARGO® works across major automation and software technologies, integrating existing and new systems into one operating environment.

VARGO® brings executives, operators, managers, leads, and maintenance teams into training and testing before go-live — helping build adoption at every level.

Continuous Improvement is an ongoing effort, not a handoff. VARGO® stays connected to the operation as priorities, demand, and business requirements change.
