SERVICES
Professional engineering,
design and analytics
Studio Logistic provides specialist analytics and design services to logistics projects.
Our services span through a typical project lifecycle.
Some clients choose to engage us throughout, others engage us for individual packages of work to meet a specific need or answer a specific question.
New build
A new distribution Centre is an opportunity to do something outstanding. Studio Logistic is expert at capturing the full extent of this opportunity. Firstly in the development of the idea and supporting business case, then in the implementation so as to deliver the business case and technical requirements.
Combining creative, data driven operational and facility design, strong networks in the logistics systems, architecture and engineering, and industrial property sectors, we are able to get the absolute best outcomes possible for our clients.

Site redevelopment and intensification
Need more storage to fit in the building? How about adding a small warehouse automation package, or even a full automation retrofit? Any distribution Centre operation needs to find ways to do more with less, adapting to changing times. Sometimes continuous improvement initiatives can only take you so far. To go further, you need to re-engineer or intensify. Doing this successfully relies on delivering significant physical and process change, while keeping existing operations working.
This is where our engineering heritage shines. Whether it's process reengineering, or an automation expansion or retrofit, we can get this done. Importantly, we get it done with realistic costs, and minimising risk.
Redevelopments are some of the hardest projects to do well. We make sure that we're on deck all the way through to make sure you're getting something that will works, and then we support during implementation, ramp-up and stabilisation to make sure you're getting the benefits.

People, process and productivity
Every Distribution Centre is focussed on spending the right amount on capability, so it delivers the right business outcomes. Whether this is in inventory holdings, staff, equipment, property, getting the balance right is key.
Our goal is to help lift the productivity of the NZ logistics sector. We don't 'save FTEs' or 'reduce headcount', we seek to augment and upgrade the people you have. In time, this means low value and hazardous jobs may cease to exist. But this means more higher paying and safer jobs replace them. We are here to help move industry and communities on that journey.
Studio Logistic provides Distribution Centre operations with support to capture, process, interpret and make use of operational data to make your DC more productive. We are here to put the information in your hands, so you can make real change. We have a unique capability to pull a wide variety of data together in a sensible way. This includes direct measurement of operations, using remote sensors and machine learning. Combined with an advanced analytics environment, we can see things most can't.

Review, check and assurance
Doing a project internally, or working directly with a systems vendor, consultant or property developer? We offer review and check services to provide you with an independent perspective.
Projects are complex, and hard to get right. We recognise the importance of gathering a diverse range of views, and of the qualified review of work. We maintain relationships with peer consultancies to provide independent review of our work should our clients wish it.
Whether it is simply a loose sounding board role, A DC or project health check, specific review of work, or construction monitoring, there are a variety of ways in which we can provide assurance and peace of mind to your project.
Particular specialities include facilitating independent design reviews or safety in design workshops.

Automation and equipment fitout
Core Distribution Centre assets are our bread and butter. And not something your landlord or staff are typically expert at. Studio Logistic provides engineering and procurement services specifically for DC fitout. As professional engineers, we are unique in the market for being able to work across building, operation and equipment interfaces during design, implementation and beyond.
Our services range from initial strategy and concept around big picture questions such as suitability of warehouse automation for your business, to the nuts and bolts of construction monitoring. We make sure that you are procuring the right capability for your current and future operations, that it's fit for purpose for the New Zealand environment, and you are well protected during project execution and beyond.
This is a specialist procurement service, and therefore we commonly work alongside other project managers, architects and engineers to make sure our packages are well integrated and coordinated with the full scope of the project.
