Velociti Inc., a global provider of technology solutions, announced today that due to rapidly increasing technology adoption, strong demand for its VeloCare technology health monitoring and repair service and concerns over supply chain constraints, it has moved warehouse operations to a new 65,000-square-foot facility doubling its current warehousing space.
“The current uncertainty within the supply chain is causing companies to proactively purchase and store more inventory than they have in the past,” said Ryan Powell, SVP sales and marketing of Velociti. “With this significant expansion, Velociti is well-positioned to meet our customers’ needs now and grow with them into the future.”
The new warehouse, less than a mile from Velociti’s headquarters, doubled door capacity to 12, has higher ceilings for increased racking capabilities, and provides the space needed for optimal product flow. Its strategic location means shipments can get anywhere in the lower 48 states from one to three days.
The facility features new wireless technology and management systems to maximize efficiency and visibility into day-to-day operations. “We are a 21st Century warehouse, priding ourselves in utilizing new and innovative technology solutions.” Powell said, adding that much design and planning has gone into increasing throughput and quality while minimizing the need to add additional resources.
The facility also features additional sustainability and safety features, including LED lighting, EV charging stations, trailer lock-down capabilities at dock doors, and state-of-the-art security systems.
Velociti’s original warehouse location, attached to their Headquarters in Riverside, MO will house their expanded Innovation Lab and Customer Experience center.
