Modernizing the nation's logistics chain.

E-Commerce

What’s at stake

E-commerce facilities are self-contained ecosystems built around the concept of flow. Circulation is essential to ensure product gets properly received, inventoried, stocked, rotated, picked, processed, packaged, and moved out. Every square inch must be maximized to ensure employees and machines (robotics, lifts, and vehicles) can easily gain access anywhere needed. Lighting, HVAC, interior design, conveyor systems, and bay locations must work in harmony to ensure safe, efficient, and productive working conditions.

FCL ADVANTAGES

FCL has been a leader in this space since the dawn of the e-commerce industry, leveraging 45+ years of expertise in warehouse and distribution center design and construction to deliver state of the art new facilities on time, on budget, and with an exceptional customer experience. In partnership with our customers, we ensure our speculative and built-to-suit new construction projects – plus retrofits and expansions – incorporate future-proof designs, and are flexible to grow with changing needs and demands.
