Warehouse Consolidation
Here at Industrial & Commercial Design Ltd we have had a lot of enquires from small and large businesses who are considering consolidating their distribution or operational activities.
Industrial & Commercial Designs vast experience and knowledge in the design and consultancy as well as the installation of storage equipment means they have been able to offer excellent advice to these enquires.
The simplest question is why would you want to consolidate distribution operations?
- Reduce holding costs
- Changing market conditions.
- High costs to operate multiple facilities
- Redundancies in network due to acquisition
- Ability to leverage automation technology with higher consolidated volumes.
The biggest advantage Industrial & Commercial Design always mentions is that warehouse consolidation means you only pay for the space and labour that your company uses. When warehouse inventory is low, having the extra warehouse space is not the right choice especially in this current economic climate.
In industry why pay more per unit for both your warehouse facility and your labour to handle reduced volume.
On the other side if you experience a peak period you can avoid higher setup costs
