  • Operational Planning – Will you have an on-site manager or run it remotely? Your answer should shape your design and tech choices
  • Avoiding Common Layout Mistakes – Keypad placement, truck access, and avoiding bottlenecks at entrances and exits
  • Technology & Automation – What systems do you need to run your facility smoothly, how should they factor into your build, and how do they relate to each other?
