Savills property consultants match clients’ needs to suitable properties.

Space management in a warehouse refers to efficiently utilising the available storage space to maximise capacity and optimise inventory storage and retrieval. It involves organising inbound and outbound goods, determining proper space allocation for each product category and maintaining an optimal workspace layout.

Industrial property consultants provide effective warehouse space management and optimisation strategies through analysis of utilisation for layout designs, racking configurations and traffic flows at warehouses and distribution centers. Their evaluation of warehouse space provides opportunities to improve workflow and technology integration enhancing operational efficiency.

Cold storage management is important for companies that lease industrial real estate facilities for perishable food items. It involves properly operating large-scale cold storage facilities and industrial freezer farms while carefully regulating temperature, humidity, air quality and other environmental conditions to preserve chilled or frozen agricultural products until they are transported.

It is advisable for cold storage facility operators to engage in industrial real estate consulting services to evaluate their management processes, infrastructure, compliance requirements and provide valuable insights on optimising best practices.

Warehouse logistics management within the industrial real estate sector refers to planning and executing operational activities within warehouses and distribution centers which involves efficiently coordinating the flow of goods through logistic processes and warehouse management systems.

It is important for warehouse operators to leverage the expertise of warehouse logistics consultants to oversee the complex inbound, storage and outbound operations requiring specialised knowledge of supply chain optimisation, regulatory compliance and industry best practices.

Logistics management services coordinate and optimise inbound and outbound supply chain activities. This includes transportation management, warehousing, material handling, packaging and inventory planning to deliver goods to customers seamlessly.

It refers to specialised expert support provided by logistics real estate consultants to optimise operations within industrial warehouses, commercial properties and the broader industrial real estate sector through their consulting services.

Cold and frozen storage are specialised warehouse facilities requiring stringent temperature control. Cold storage maintains temperatures from 0-15 degrees Celsius and preserves chilled products like fresh produce and dairy. Frozen storage involves maintaining ultra-low sub-zero temperatures to securely store frozen items such as meat and ice cream that are frozen solid.

The important distinction between these specialised industrial real estate warehouses is that cold storage facilitates above-freezing preservation while frozen storage enables below-freezing preservation.

Industrial real estate comprises a broad range of facilities including warehouses, cold storage facilities, logistics facilities, business parks, manufacturing facilities and specialised facilities. Through optimised warehouse space management, these properties are designed to accommodate functions including the storage, production and distribution of goods that cater to supply chain needs.
