Our Approach to Warehouse Planning

Effective warehouse planning starts with establishing the purpose of individual distribution centres. By building an accurate profile of the type of product, service proposition and handling requirements at each warehouse, we can design physical storage mechanisms that save both time and money.

We take a comprehensive approach to warehouse planning that considers every aspect of the operation, with a strict focus on optimising processes for maximum efficiency.

 What questions do we typically address?

• What types of storage will give you the best balance of space use and efficiency of access?
• How should you lay out the warehouse?
• What types of automation will give the best return on your investment?
• Which is the best warehouse management system for your purposes?
