Multiple lay-outs were created and evaluated before finalizing the warehouse design. It was important to establish a good connection between the new warehouse and the existing campus where the production is located (the customer of the warehouse).

Various GtP-concepts (Cubic vs Vertical Lift Modules) were compared against a conventional shelf rack solution with multi-order picking. Mechanization turned out to be beneficial for the small goods. Large goods should remain conventional in pallet racks and cantilever racks. All comparisons were supported by data analysis.

For the tendering of the different logistic solutions Groenewout created all documentation, such as requirements documents, tender procedures and evaluation reports. For every solution multiple suppliers were invited to the tender. Working together with Marel Purchasing ensured that all tenders (racking, mezzanine with multiple floors and shelving, Vertical Storage system, elevator for goods and persons, location numbering, markings and collision protections) were completed successfully.

During the construction of the new warehouse Groenewout was part of the weekly Project Meetings to coordinate the work of construction companies, the operational team, IT, Purchasing.

Groenewout supported in the realization of the equipment tendered and was the main point of contact for suppliers.
