Dicker Warehouse Expansion On Schedule For Completion.

Dicker Warehouse Expansion On Schedule – Dicker Data’s huge warehouse expansion; which will significantly increase the ability of the company’s security business, Dicker Data DAS, to carry stock; is on track for completion before the end of the year.

The new warehouse is located directly behind Dicker’s current warehouse and will be internally interconnected, providing 18,000m2 of new floor space, 30 per cent of which will be fitted with racking. This additional racking will create approximately 8500 new pallet spaces, enabling the team to further expand storage capacity for both core business and third-party logistics services.

To further enhance operational capabilities, the upgrade will add 9 additional doors to the new warehouse, effectively doubling current capacity and enabling the team to manage increased inbound and outbound movements. In addition, this expansion will provide an additional 4400m2 of accessible hardstand, making it easier to handle import/export container movements, increase the number of delivery slots we offer our vendors each day and to further support and expand our logistics operations.

“We’ve made several investments in state-of-the-art equipment and technology, including the purchase of 6 BT Order Pickers with man up technology,” said Vlad Mitnovetski, Dicker Data COO.

“These cutting-edge pickers allow our staff to quickly and accurately retrieve items from higher shelves, which accelerates the picking process and improves overall daily efficiency. We are also looking to add additional equipment including 6 new forklifts to our existing fleet.”

“Naturally, additional space will allow us to hold more stock, enabling our partners to have increased access to just-in-time inventory. One of our core business focuses remains on strategically diversifying our solution portfolio, and the increased storage capacity of the new warehouse supports this by providing an opportunity for our business to introduce new solutions to the market and further build upon our existing technology offerings in the future.”

According to Mitnovetski, the expansion isn’t only about expanding operational capability.

“In line with our sustainability goals and commitments we are adding just short of one thousand new solar panels onto the roof of the new warehouse expansion,” he explained. “Our existing warehouse currently boasts over 600 solar panels which has enabled our business to run off the grid, or even top up the grid, on sunny days. This increase in solar panels will give us the capability to operate off-grid during a range of weather scenarios.”

“Furthermore, the warehouse expansion will be connected to the existing infrastructure that captures excess rain and stormwater that is subsequently used in the restroom facilities and for irrigation around the premises. All excess water is held and enriched onsite before being tested and pumped back into the waterways that surround our facility, which has a positive impact on water quality and promotes a healthier and bio-diverse environment.”

The construction of the warehouse expansion is being managed by long-term construction partner of Dicker Data, Pelenoy Group and the new facilities are tracking to schedule, with the space to become useable later this year.
