E-commerce fulfillment warehouse storage requires racking systems optimized for high-SKU count operations, rapid individual order picking, and efficient pack-and-ship workflows. These facilities typically combine carton flow racks for fast-moving items, mezzanines for additional pick levels, and pick modules that integrate racking with conveyor systems.
What We Understand
The Challenges Specific to E-Commerce Fulfillment
High SKU Counts and Fast Pick Rates
E-commerce operations handle thousands of SKUs with individual-item picks, not full-pallet pulls. Standard pallet rack with floor-level picking is too slow. You need carton flow for forward pick faces, pick modules for multi-level picking, and layouts that minimize travel time per order. We design pick paths around your actual order profiles.
Rapid Scaling and Seasonal Surges
Fulfillment volumes can double during peak seasons and grow year over year. A rigid layout that works today becomes a bottleneck in 6 months. We build flexibility in from the start: modular bay designs, adjustable beam levels, and configurations that add capacity without a full teardown when volume grows.
Permitting for Multi-Level Systems
Pick modules and mezzanines require structural engineering, high-pile storage permits, and fire code compliance for elevated storage. Sprinkler clearances, egress requirements, and load ratings all need to be documented and approved. We handle permitting and code compliance for multi-level fulfillment systems across all jurisdictions.
Our Approach
Designed for Pick Speed, Not Just Storage Density
Fulfillment centers aren't measured by how many pallets they hold. They're measured by how fast orders get out the door. We start every project by understanding your order profiles: SKU count, units per order, pick frequency by item, and peak volume targets.
Forward pick zones get carton flow for fast-moving items and shelving for slower movers. Reserve storage uses selective rack or push-back behind the pick faces. For operations that need multi-level picking, we design pick modules with integrated flow lanes, walkways, and conveyor drops. Mezzanines add packing, kitting, or returns processing space above the warehouse floor.
All installations are phased around your fulfillment schedule. We coordinate with your operations team to keep orders flowing throughout the project.

Carton Flow Racks
FIFO gravity flow for case-level and each-pick operations. Speeds pick rates and reduces travel time in active forward pick areas.

Mezzanines
Freestanding elevated platforms that double usable floor space for packing stations, small-parts storage, or additional pick levels without building expansion.

What This Looks Like in Practice
150,000 sq ft e-commerce fulfillment center in New Jersey: multi-level pick module with integrated carton flow lanes and conveyor takeaway, selective rack for reserve storage, mezzanine for packing and returns processing, reduced average pick time per order, added 4,000+ active pick faces, full permitting handled, phased installation completed around peak season.
Fulfillment operations have a different set of demands than traditional warehousing. High SKU counts, fast pick rates, and order volumes that can spike overnight. We design around those order profiles, not just the product dimensions, so the system performs on day one and scales from there.
