The work

Challenge, solution, outcome

Challenge

Standing up a regional distribution capability meant building and operationalising a large warehouse while keeping running costs sustainable.

Solution

We self-performed the build, installed rooftop solar to offset operating energy, and designed the racking and loading layout around same-day dispatch.

Outcome

The hub now stocks 5,000+ SKUs with same-day dispatch and a 96% on-time delivery rate, with rooftop solar offsetting 60% of operations.
