As we enter the final quarter of 2025, people are adopting a new challenge, The Great Lock In, to finish the year. People are dedicating the final days of the year to intense focus and measurable progress. So why shouldn't warehouses?
The challenge? Lock in on your goals, eliminate distractions, and push hard before the year ends.
And while this trend originated with fitness and finance creators, it’s a mindset warehouses can learn from especially during the busiest time of the year.
What “Locking In” Means for Warehouses
For warehouse teams, Q4 is the ultimate test of focus. Order volumes spike, labor is tight, and every inefficiency is magnified. It’s the time when execution not just planning matters most.

Streamline workflows
Reduce travel time
Maximize throughput
Finish the year with stronger KPIs and lower costs
That’s where Slot3D comes in.
