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.
