At ASCELA, our Warehouse & Storage practice supports developers, operators, investors, and occupiers in planning, optimising, and enhancing warehousing and storage infrastructure across modern supply chains. We work across distribution centres, industrial warehouses, cold storage facilities, bonded warehouses, e-commerce fulfilment centres, and integrated logistics parks to improve storage efficiency, infrastructure utilisation, and fulfilment performance.
Our advisory combines infrastructure planning, process optimisation, technology assessment, and capacity evaluation to help clients streamline warehouse workflows, optimise inventory movement, improve resource utilisation, and enhance storage and fulfilment efficiency. By evaluating infrastructure requirements and warehouse performance under real-world demand conditions, we help clients reduce inefficiencies, improve throughput, and make informed investment and expansion decision.
Assess warehouse storage capacity, pallet positions, inventory turnover, and handling throughput to identify bottlenecks and improve facility utilisation.
Develop efficient warehouse layouts, racking systems, storage zoning, and dock configurations to maximise space utilisation and streamline material movement.
Optimise deployment of warehouse manpower, forklifts, conveyors, and material handling equipment to improve productivity and reduce inefficiencies.
Improve receiving, put-away, picking, packing, staging, and dispatch workflows to reduce turnaround time and enhance warehouse efficiency.
Evaluate warehouse readiness for seasonal demand peaks, inventory surges, and future expansion requirements to ensure scalability.
Optimise dock utilisation, truck scheduling, staging activities, and internal cargo movement to minimise congestion and improve handling efficiency.
Enhance order fulfilment workflows across warehousing and storage facilities to improve processing speed, order accuracy, and service efficiency.
Evaluate warehouse distribution strategies and dispatch planning to reduce turnaround time and improve delivery performance.
Improve efficiency of cross-docking operations, consolidation centres, and transfer areas to reduce cargo handling delays and improve throughput.
Analyse movement of goods across storage zones, staging areas, and dispatch docks to identify gaps and improve flow continuity.
Support planning of urban warehouses, micro-fulfilment centres, and dark stores to improve rapid delivery capabilities and inventory positioning.
Evaluate order processing timelines, picking efficiency, and dispatch performance to improve fulfilment reliability and service levels.
Assess feasibility and impact of ASRS systems, robotics, AMRs, conveyor systems, automated picking technologies, and WMS integration.
Evaluate refrigeration systems, warehouse energy consumption, and storage utilisation patterns to support sustainable and energy-efficient facilities.
Assess preparedness for labour shortages, equipment downtime, inventory spikes, and transport disruptions to strengthen warehouse resilience.
Evaluate implications of warehouse expansion, additional storage infrastructure, and new facility development on throughput and utilisation.
Support feasibility studies and DPRs through validation of storage capacity, infrastructure assumptions, phasing strategies, and capital investments.
Enable data-driven warehouse planning through evaluation of multiple fulfilment, storage, automation, and inventory management scenarios.
