LOGISTIC SOLUTIONS THAT ARE PLANNED TODAY
CONSIDERING THE FUTURE NEEDS OF BOTH YOUR BUSINESS AND YOUR OPERATION
WHAT IS SCALABILITY?
The perfect warehouse is different for each and every business and each businesses logistic solution changes over time, as the business grows.
The purpose of scalability is to design a warehouse for today’s needs, while already considering the future needs of the business and designing expansion possibilities into the initial solution. The benefits are that:
- - The business has a clear idea regarding current capacities and when an expansion is required, its costs and benefits
- - The investment cost of a large-scale project (including automation) can be spread across multiple phases
- - Existing hardware and material handling equipment can be re-used in the next expansion phase
- - Expansions have a reduced impact on the live operation due to the reduced amount of modifications to existing infrastructure
WACO SPECIALIZES IN DESIGNING SCALABLE SOLUTIONS
THAT ALLOW YOU TO SPREAD THE TOTAL INVESTMENT COST OVER MULTIPLE PHASES
If your warehouse becomes the limiting factor for your business growth, when faced with larger operational demand, it is time for you to consider a scalable logistic solution from WACO.
We will design a flexible operational model, with standardized and optimized business processes. We understand which technologies can benefit your business the most and are the best fit for your long term logistic strategy.
Predefined productivity milestones will help you monitor your warehouse performance and predict in time, when the next expansion phase is required to obtain the additional capacity. This will allow you to keep the balance between the warehouse growth plan and the company investment strategy. Furthermore, growing your capacity in phases results in an earlier Return on Investment, as your business will have less excess and under-utilized capacity.
The following video, of a WACO conceptual warehouse, shows the positive impact of working with a scalable logistic solution and how it is possible to have smooth transitions between implementation phases with minimum disruption of the live operation.
