In this edition of How To Lease Good (#HowTLG ) we explore navigating fit-out options and making your space your own.

In today’s fast-paced business world, growth and expansion are essential for staying competitive. For businesses aiming to scale effectively, knowing when to expand, secure a larger warehouse, and invest in logistics and robotics technology is crucial. At Tenant Leasing Group (TLG) we’re here to guide you through these important decisions and ensure your expansion is smooth and successful.

1. Recognise the Signs: When to Consider Expansion

Expanding your business is a big step that needs careful planning. Here are some signs it might be time to look for a larger warehouse and modernise your operations:

• Increased Demand: If you’re seeing a steady rise in orders or a surge in product demand, your current space may not be enough. Frequent inventory shortages or delays could mean it's time to upgrade.
• Operational Bottlenecks: A warehouse layout that causes inefficiencies, such as slow shipping times or disorganised storage, could benefit from a larger, better-designed space to improve productivity.
• Growth Projections: If you expect significant business growth or plan to enter new markets, securing a larger warehouse in advance will help you stay ahead of the competition. It's important to make sure this is commercially sustainable .

2. Evaluating Warehouse Options: Key Considerations

Finding the right warehouse involves more than just picking a bigger space. Consider these factors to ensure it fits your growth strategy:

• Location: The proximity to transportation hubs and your customer base can greatly impact shipping times and costs. Choose locations based on logistical advantages and ease of access.
• Scalability: Look for warehouses that offer flexibility and room for future expansion. A space with adaptable layouts can save you from the hassle of relocating again soon.
• Technology Integration: Modern warehouses often use technology to streamline operations. Make sure the space you choose can support advanced systems like automated inventory management and robotics. According to Toyota's automated logistics company Vanderlande, by 2026, 75% of large companies will have introduced smart robotic solutions into their warehousing logistics.

3. Introducing Logistics and Robotics: Enhancing Efficiency

As your business grows, integrating logistics solutions and robotics can bring significant benefits:

• Streamlined Operations: Logistics technology, such as warehouse management systems (WMS), helps optimise inventory management, streamline order processing, and reduce errors. These systems provide real-time data and analytics for better decision-making.
• Robotics and Automation: Robotics can boost efficiency in various warehouse functions, from sorting and packing to material handling. Automated systems cut down on labour costs and improve accuracy, allowing you to meet growing demands without sacrificing quality.
• Cost-Benefit Analysis: While investing in logistics and robotics technology can be costly upfront, the long-term benefits often outweigh the initial expenses. Perform a thorough cost-benefit analysis to assess the potential return on investment and how these technologies fit into your growth strategy.
