Coign Consulting

Warehouse Innovation & Design Consulting

More than two decades ago, our founder, Mr. Arif A Siddiqui, recognised a significant challenge in the warehousing sector: the pressing issues of capacity, efficiency, and productivity in operations across the country. These challenges, he realized, stemmed from limitations in the nation’s warehousing infrastructure.

With a vision to transform this challenge, he established Coign Consulting with a mission to revolutionise the warehousing and distribution landscape. With data-backed innovative designs, the company focuses on improvement & inclusion of three core pillars:

1. Infrastructure – Building the foundation for scalable and sustainable operations.

2. Intralogistics Operations – Streamlining processes to optimise process flow and efficiency.

3. Technology – Leveraging innovation to drive smarter operations.

Our goal is to create design solutions that create velocity in the day-to-day warehouse operations by being scalable, efficient, and adaptable. These designs are tailored to help organisations achieve their warehouse operations objectives that enhance operational performance, and significantly improve customer satisfaction.

Our Core Purpose

"We aim to analyse, plan, and develop designs that transform warehouses into smart, scalable facilities that enhance overall supply chain profitability and improve logistics performance index."
