Warehouse Design and Layout Solutions

Warehouse Design and Layout is the planning and arrangement of a storage facility to optimise space, functionality and efficiency.

A well-designed warehouse layout can have a profound impact on the facility’s performance, productivity, and long-term financial benefits. It’s essential for businesses looking to maximise their storage capacity, streamline operations, and adapt to changing needs.

Design a new facility

Our Warehouse Design Consultants specialise in establishing and implementing the most suitable and relevant warehouse designs from the outset. This approach has a profound influence on the facility’s useful life, capacity, productivity, and significant financial benefits.

We can model a range of options, including automation, where appropriate, to determine the most appropriate design using a well-established methodology.

Based on a cost-benefit analysis, we will arrive at a preferred design which will be fully developed to provide capital operating cost schedules, capacity against the business plan and steps required for implementation.

Our in-house CAD facilities allow us to provide detailed scale plan view drawings and 3D representations.

We provide guidance on inventory management techniques, stock locations, demand forecasting, and Warehouse Management Systems (WMS).

Our experience extends to projects in the UK, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and the USA, encompassing various industries, including FMCG, retail, and e-fulfilment.

Before You Rent Warehouse Space, Understand Your True Cost-to-Serve

Choosing the right warehouse space isn’t just about size and location, it’s about cost optimisation. Without properly modelling your cost-to-serve, hidden expenses can quickly erode margins. At SCCG, our warehouse design and capacity modelling ensures you fully understand costs before signing a lease, protecting your profitability from the outset.

Benefits of cost-to-serve before renting a warehouse:

• Optimise rental costs by accurately predicting required capacity.

• Avoid unexpected expenses such as inefficient layout or capacity miscalculations.

• Improve your margin through precise forecasting of operational overheads.

• Ensure scalability, reducing the need for costly mid-contract adjustments.

• Make informed decisions with clear visibility on how warehouse choice impacts cost-to-serve.

Before you rent a new warehouse, ask yourself: Do you understand the true cost of serving each one of your customers?

Redesign or repurpose your facility

When it comes to redesigning and repurposing existing warehouse facilities, our consultants bring a wealth of experience and knowledge. We understand the importance of optimising your current space to meet evolving business needs.

Our team excels in modelling a range of options to determine the most appropriate redesign for your warehouse.

We employ a well-established methodology that enhances facility performance, capacity, and financial benefits.
