Elevating Operations Through
Strategic Warehouse Design Services
A well-designed warehouse layout plays a crucial role in boosting operations by improving efficiency and productivity. It leads to better space use, reduces handling time, and enhances workflow. In contrast, a poorly planned layout can cause operational inefficiencies that lead to higher costs and delays.
Precision Warehouse Design (PWD) elevates this process with our proprietary FasTrak Design Services, a unique approach tailored for the dynamic needs of today’s distribution and manufacturing facilities.
Our approach involves a thorough analysis of your specific needs, incorporating FasTrak to deliver quick, accurate, and decisive design solutions. This methodology ensures that managers receive the fastest path to thoughtful, fact-based changes in their operations, often achieving a functional “fit form and function” (F3 design) by the end of the first meeting. This functional design is usually refined and quoted in less than three (3) business days, including:
- Pallet rack and shelving layout
- Conveyor system layout
- Shipping/receiving area design
- Equipment specification and pricing
- Budgeting warehouse relocations
- Figuring expansion space requirements
- Specs on rearranging existing equipment
When Mouser Electronics, a prominent player in electronic component distribution, needed our help with warehouse design services, we were up to the task. Our warehouse design consultants have guided their growth from a 10,000-square-foot facility to a 400,000-square-foot state-of-the-art distribution center. This transformation highlights our ability to design for current needs with an eye on the future.
Our Partnership with the Nebraska Furniture Mart of Texas
One notable success story of PWD services is our partnership with Nebraska Furniture Mart, one of North America’s largest home furnishings retailers.
In constructing their colossal Texas-based store spanning 1,000,000 square feet, our warehouse design consultants were entrusted with designing and installing material handling equipment within a tight 8-month timeline.
The installed equipment, including Steel King pick modules, pallet racking, and a variety of conveyor systems, showcases our ability to manage large-scale projects efficiently.
