DISTRIBUTION HUB CONSOLIDATION
A multi-site clearance and asset consolidation project for a major logistics provider, streamlining their operations across three regional hubs.
The Challenge
The client was closing two aging distribution centers and consolidating operations into a new, modern facility. They needed to dispose of 5 miles of racking, 40 forklifts, and miscellaneous warehouse equipment, while simultaneously moving essential assets to the new site.
Our Solution
OPUS Group provided a turnkey solution covering logistics, resale, and recycling. Our team:
- Cataloged all assets across the three sites.
- Managed the dismantling and safe transport of racking systems.
- Organised an online auction for surplus forklifts and equipment.
- Recycled all non-saleable metal and packaging waste.
The Outcome
The consolidation was completed on schedule, ensuring no downtime for the client's supply chain. The auction generated significant returns, covering the cost of the move and dismantling. The old sites were left clear and ready for lease surrender.
