Smart warehousing starts with a smart plan
Logistics consulting services
Most warehouses work. Few of them work at the level they could, because layouts age, inventory profiles change and the systems that were right three years ago quietly stop being right. Rejuva's consultants find where the time and the space are going, and say what to do about it in the order that makes sense.
Your warehouse might be holding you back
When the whole attention of a team goes on the day's orders, it is easy to stop seeing the inefficiencies that drain the operation quietly: space lost to a racking design that no longer matches the stock, picking routes that grew a step at a time, or a safety gap against EN 15635 that nobody has looked at since the last inspection.
Equipment that does not match the building is the other common one, and it shows up when an older layout meets a modern system such as a pallet shuttle or a very narrow aisle truck. In a high-volume operation none of these stays small: a few seconds per movement, repeated all day, is what eventually limits how much the site can take.
Where the consulting work goes
The advice is hands-on and based on your own numbers, your layout, your product mix and your throughput, rather than on a standard model of what a warehouse should look like.
-
Space optimisation
Getting more out of the building before considering a bigger one, by redesigning the racking layout and the flow through it, whether that means different aisle widths, new pick zones or higher density storage.
-
System integration
If pallet shuttles or narrow aisle racking are on the table, the infrastructure, the equipment and the working methods have to support each other. This is the work that prevents a warehouse built out of patches.
-
Compliance and safety
From load signage to racking inspections, we check the installation against EN 15635 and the other European standards that apply, which is as much about the people working under the racking as about the paperwork.
-
Operational efficiency
The whole flow of goods, from receiving through storage and picking to dispatch, examined for the bottlenecks and the wasted travel that limit throughput.
Why bring this work to Rejuva
Rejuva is a warehousing business that consults, not a consultancy that also sells racking, and that shows in what the advice takes into account.
-
Warehousing is the whole business
Working only on industrial warehousing means the recommendations come from having built these systems, which is a different starting point from a general operations review.
-
Designed for the operation
Pharmaceutical stock, e-commerce orders and temperature controlled goods each impose their own layout, and the racking is designed around that rather than adapted to it afterwards.
-
Integration in mind
Plans account for the narrow aisle trucks, the pallet shuttles and the lighting that will have to work in the same building, so that adding automation later does not mean undoing the layout.
-
Current on European standards
EN 15635 and the applicable fire safety rules are part of the design, which is what keeps an inspection from becoming a project of its own.
-
Advice that can be executed
We can oversee the work, coordinate the suppliers of racking and handling equipment and stay for the post-installation support, so a recommendation is written by someone who will have to deliver it.
-
Cost over the life of it
Durable systems, low maintenance, and options such as the racking buy-back programme when part of the installation is replaced, which is both the cheaper and the less wasteful route.
What the process looks like
Redesigning a working warehouse is unsettling, so the process is structured, and it starts with looking rather than proposing.
-
Site visit and assessment
We start by understanding the current setup, the constraints and the demands on it, on site or remotely. This is a discovery session and not a sales visit, and it is where most of the useful findings come from.
-
Strategic planning
We then analyse the layout, the inventory profile and where the business expects to be, and turn that into a plan covering layout changes, equipment and compliance.
-
Compliance and risk review
Any regulatory or safety gaps are identified separately, with the steps to close them, because those rarely wait for the rest of the programme.
-
A roadmap to implementation
Finally a sequence with priorities, timings and expected returns, which your own team can execute or we can run with our partners.
What you get out of it
The output is not a document. It is a shorter route through the building, a layout that will still work at next year's volume, and a compliance position you can defend at an inspection without preparing for weeks.
Where it makes sense, we stay on for the execution: coordinating the suppliers, overseeing the installation and supporting the operation afterwards, which is also the honest test of whether the advice was any good.
Frequently asked questions about logistics consulting
Can you help during a new warehouse build?
Yes, and this is where consulting is worth the most: decisions taken on a drawing cost nothing to change, and the same decisions taken after the racking is bolted down cost a great deal.
Do you only work with large operations?
No. We work with single buildings of a few hundred square metres and with multi-site operations, and the question is the same either way, which is how to use the space better and move goods with fewer steps.
How long does it take?
It depends on the scope and on how much of the operation is in play. A layout review and a full automation programme are different exercises, and we give a schedule after the first assessment rather than before it.
What if we need equipment as well?
We can recommend it and coordinate the suppliers, which matters most when the change is a system upgrade such as narrow aisle or shuttle racking, where the equipment and the racking have to be specified together.
