Design a facility around how your operation actually needs to work

Distribution Centre & Warehouse Design

A warehouse is one of the largest operational investments a business makes, and one of the hardest to change once built. AOLS provides end-to-end support for greenfield and brownfield projects – designing from how the operation needs to work, not from the shape of the building.

Discuss Your Project

Greenfield or brownfield, designed from the operation up

Whether you are building from scratch or reconfiguring a facility already in use, good design starts with how the operation needs to work, not with the shape of the building. AOLS works from operational processes and workflow outward, so storage, equipment, traffic and building requirements all support the way product actually moves.

What AOLS evaluates

  • Customer demand and the service levels your market expects
  • Centre-of-gravity analysis to locate facilities logically
  • Number, location and size of distribution centres
  • Requirement definition
  • Service levels
  • Future Growth of your network
  • Requirement definition

How AOLS approaches the analysis

Why this matters commercially

The analysis can give you a clearer, commercially grounded view of where inventory should be held, how facilities should be configured, what the transport and labour implications are, and how insourced or outsourced models compare for your situation – a stronger basis to act with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work on existing facilities or only new builds?

Both. AOLS supports greenfield projects and brownfield reconfigurations of facilities already in operation, designing around how the operation needs to work in either case.

Yes. AOLS produces detailed layouts and elevations in AutoCAD as part of the design work, alongside storage, equipment and building specifications.

AOLS' scope includes CAPEX estimates and ROI modelling, along with procurement specifications and supplier negotiation support, to help inform the investment decision.

AOLS brings WMS-related experience to design work, helping connect the physical facility with the systems that run it. The detail of any systems project is covered under Logistics Information System Design.
