The optimal warehouse hinges on thoughtful planning, precise execution, and a mindset that delivers excellence for our clients.

Every square foot, every process, every detail — optimized for productivity and efficiency. Watch how we make it happen. 📦

Every warehouse we operate is uniquely crafted with our clients in mind, offering tailored solutions to meet specific needs. In all facilities we optimize space for high-SKU clients, ensuring seamless operations even in the face of diverse product categories and fluctuating demands. 

Understanding High-SKU Warehousing Needs 

Managing high-SKU counts comes with unique challenges, from efficient storage to quick order fulfillment. At NRI, we approach this complexity through collaboration and foresight. We work closely with our clients to understand their products, from bulky luggage to delicate jewelry, and design warehouse layouts that suit these diverse requirements. By anticipating client needs, we ensure that every SKU, regardless of size or type, is stored conveniently to enable swift processing. 

Our tailored footprints accommodate products across categories like apparel, footwear, and accessories, reflecting the distinct demands of each. Whether it’s managing the compact storage of swimwear or the bulkier logistics of flannel jackets, our spaces are designed with precision. 

Designing for Efficiency: Fast vs. Slow-Moving Units 

Efficiency in high-SKU environments hinges on strategic placement. Fast-moving products are positioned for easy access, while slower-moving items occupy secondary spaces. Our approach relies on two key strategies: 

Client Insights: Clients provide us with forecasts for product launches or promotional events, allowing us to plan accordingly. 

Data-Driven Decisions: For long-term clients, our Warehouse Management System (WMS) provides real-time inventory insights, enabling informed decisions on product placement. 

By combining advanced planning with client data, we optimize picking and packing workflows to ensure smooth operations even during peak seasons. 

Responding to Evolving Client Priorities 

Adaptability is at the core of our service. As client priorities shift due to seasonality, promotional activities, or market changes, we adjust our processes to match. For example, during a busy summer, one client faced overlapping demands: closeout sales, a new product launch, and Black Friday Cyber Monday (BFCM) preparation. By holding bi-weekly calls with all stakeholders, we stayed ahead of their needs, reconfiguring inventory setups and prioritizing key SKUs for maximum efficiency. 

Leveraging Technology for Real-Time Adjustments 

Aspire, our technology suite, plays a pivotal role in managing high-SKU counts. With real-time inventory visibility, we can swiftly adapt to client requirements, whether expanding space for increased volume or redesigning layouts for special projects. This integration of technology streamlines adjustments, minimizes downtime, and enhances overall efficiency. 

Scaling and Flexibility: Growing with Our Clients 

As our clients grow, so do we. Flexibility and scalability are built into our warehouse operations, allowing us to expand footprints, distribute inventory across regions, or consolidate operations as needed. Most of our facilities host multiple clients, and our planning ensures that peaks and valleys complement one another for steady year-round activity. 

At NRI, we’re not just creating warehouses—we’re building partnerships. Our spaces are designed to adapt and evolve with our clients, empowering them to focus on what they do best: growing their brands.
