The 5,700 square metre facility, with its prime location, advanced enterprise-grade systems and extensive storage space, will offer GEODIS’ expanding client base the capacity needed to ensure seamless end-to-end supply chain support across both local and cross-border markets.
The unprecedented surge in consumer demand brought about by the pandemic has heightened the need for resilient supply chain strategies, particularly within the healthcare industry, with pharmaceutical companies forced to reinforce their logistical requirements. Keeping these needs in mind, GEODIS’ new site will feature specially designed temperature-controlled areas to facilitate the optimal storage of pharmaceutical products at 15-25ºC as well as 4ºC.
The growing demand will also be addressed by the site’s high productivity storage solution, which consists of two-metre wide aisle racking that affords 5,000 pallet locations. There is a tier one Warehouse Management Syste that offers automated operating systems to support the thriving e-commerce fulfillment business. Purpose-built, this facility is located at one of Auckland’s most prominent industrial hubs at the airport, with connections to the main arterial routes used for distribution. It will also house GEODIS’ international container freight station, contract logistics and last mile distribution set-up to enable full service supply chain management under one roof.
