Typically, the Scope of Work for designing a warehouse solution could include, but is not limited to, the following elements:

- Data analytics and modeling to optimize operations.

How long does it take to complete the Design of a Warehouse Solution?
Every project is distinct, with unique elements that directly influence the completion of the design phase. Typically, a Design Solution is finalized within 2 to 4 months, depending on the complexity of the project.
Factors that affect complexity include the condition of the facility (whether it’s an older warehouse or a new construction), the client’s ability to provide a complete and accurate dataset, decision-making efficiency, the level of technology required, and the overall scope of work, among others. These elements collectively determine the timeline and intricacies involved in each project.
How labor intensive is a design project with BARRDEGA for my staff?
From day one, we enable you to concentrate on your core business while we handle the development of a tailor-made solution for you.
In this project, BARRDEGA will manage the heavy lifting, while your project team will be engaged in specifically scheduled sessions for project orientation and milestone validation.
Key personnel such as the operations manager, warehouse team, and staff from industrial safety, quality control, compliance, purchasing, sales, and IT departments may need to attend brief sessions. These sessions will be conveniently scheduled to accommodate your staff’s availability, ensuring minimal disruption to their daily responsibilities.
Will the project be executed on-site?
The involvement of our team depends on the current phase of the project.
During the design and analysis phase, we participate in on-site activities such as kick-off meetings, information gathering, and the presentation of results and solutions. However, a significant portion of this phase involves work that we carry out in the background at our office, away from the project site.
As the project transitions into the implementation phase, the BARRDEGA Project Manager will be on-site as necessary. This includes supervising suppliers, monitoring the progress and quality of installations, and ensuring that business processes are accurately integrated into the Warehouse Management System.

The optimal timing for your project’s commencement and completion depends on your specific goals. We recommend discussing your logistics strategy and long-term plans with us. This enables us to provide expert advice on the best timing to initiate and complete your project, which is crucial for your business’s success.
