Wholesale between assortment and cadence

More articles, more channels - but still keep processes lean

In wholesale, wide product ranges, different packaging units and high handling frequencies meet narrow shipping windows. Efficient processes require clearly structured zones for incoming goods, replenishment, picking, value-added services and shipping - with short routes, clear labeling and comprehensible storage location logic.

Space must be effective: high density without search times, stable picking performance even during peaks in activity and a layout that masters store replenishment and project-related picking in parallel. Buffers and transfer points should absorb peak loads - not create new bottlenecks.

To ensure that warehouse structures can grow with product ranges, locations and sales channels, META plans solutions that are ready for automation from the outset. Floor changes, transfers and identification points are planned so that conveyor technology, throughput concepts and control systems can be integrated later without interrupting the process.

Space-efficient, secure access, suitable for stores

Structures for smooth order picking and reliable replenishment

META develops efficient warehouse structures along the material flow - from incoming goods to replenishment and order picking through to dispatch. Whether trade, industry, agriculture or food wholesale: clearly defined zones, short distances and clear storage and retrieval points ensure stable processes. Store backstock and e-commerce picks remain separate so that throughput and cycle times remain reliable.

Safety and orientation are firmly integrated into the planning. Load capacities, gripping and positioning heights as well as escape and safety routes are designed to meet requirements; additional levels or buffer zones can also be added during operation.

All solutions are designed ready for automation. Floor changes, transfer points and identification points enable the subsequent integration of conveyor technology, FIFO throughput and control - without process interruption, even during peaks in activity and seasonal peaks.

Frequently asked questions about space, access and operation in wholesale

Here you will find compact, practical answers on the planning and operation of wholesale warehouses - from space utilization and consolidation to picking and dynamics, security, compliance, automation and services. If you have any further questions, we will be happy to inform you personally and advise you on your individual requirements.

For which wholesale companies are META solutions suitable?

From large regional warehouses to multi-location networks. We scale according to product range, volume and channels - from two-storey areas to multi-storey facilities.

How does META compact space without reducing picking performance?

Multi-storey zones and mobile pallet areas (MULTIBLOC) combine density with single-user access; clear routes and defined handovers keep cycles stable.

How does META separate E-Com-Pick, store replenishment and VAS?

Thanks to zone/level logic, fixed transfer points and clear parking space identification; pick and replenishment are managed separately

.

Can existing systems be expanded or extended?

Yes. Modular architecture enables additional levels, buffers and transfers - depending on statics, approval and operation.

Which systems are typical for wholesale?

MULTIFLOOR for storey/wide span, MULTIPAL for pallets/piece goods, MULTIBLOC for tight pallet storage, MULTILINE for FIFO throughput, CLIP for small parts, platforms/steel construction for additional space.

Can automation be retrofitted?

Yes, we plan ready for automation. META-ILS integrates conveyor technology, vertical conveyors, sorters as well as identification/measurement modules and control systems.

Does META support safety/compliance?

Loads, reach/positioning heights, escape/safety routes, marking; for steel construction, verifiable structural analysis according to Eurocode on request.

Does META offer advice and planning on site?

Yes. Analysis of material flows, routes, level changes and interfaces - on request with on-site inspection and inventory.

What services are available after commissioning?

Maintenance and inspection, spare parts, adaptations/extensions, training and support

.

How fast is the implementation?

Depending on scope, statics and approval. Standardized modules speed up planning, production and installation. You will receive a rough timeline after the initial consultation and data collection.

Can existing areas (e.g. TC zones, zones close to hazardous substances) be integrated?

In many cases, yes. We check dimensions, loads, weather/temperature and the connection to running and conveying routes.

Does META support IT integration (WMS/ERP/IIoT)?

Yes. Definition of parking space/barcode standards and interface requirements; coordination with your system partners.
