LSKD, a leading Australian activewear brand, faced a critical challenge at their Loganholme overflow warehouse. With an overwhelming volume of incoming stock, particularly in the lead-up to their crucial Black Friday sales period, their existing storage capabilities were severely strained. Stock was accumulating on the ground, leading to inefficiencies, potential damage, and a significant limitation on their capacity to manage seasonal peaks. This situation demanded an urgent and effective storage solution.
Leveraging a strong existing relationship from previous work on LSKD’s distribution centre, Cannan Industries immediately recognised the project’s critical urgency. Collaborating closely with the LSKD team and our trusted installation partners, Correct Installation, we condensed the typical six-week installation timeline into an ambitious three-week schedule.
Our strategic solution involved designing and implementing a high-density pallet racking system. This comprehensive project was meticulously executed, focusing on:
Strategic Racking Installation: We installed seven runs of six bays of high storage pallet racking, expertly converting floor-level stock into a highly optimised, multi-tiered storage system.
Intensive Supply Chain Management: Our team meticulously managed the supply chain, ensuring the timely delivery of all necessary components to meet the accelerated timeline.
Seamless Communication & Coordination: We maintained constant and transparent dialogue between Cannan Industries, LSKD, and our installation partners, ensuring the project remained precisely on schedule.
Against a tight deadline, the new racking system was fully installed within three weeks — a truly monumental effort. This transformation allowed LSKD to store over 10,000 cartons, effectively multiplying their previous ground-level storage capacity by eight times.
The successful completion of this project ensured LSKD was fully prepared for their upcoming Black Friday sales, able to efficiently manage and dispatch large volumes of stock. It stands as a testament to Cannan Industries’ commitment to clear communication, expert planning, and rapid execution, delivering significant operational improvements and supporting our clients’ critical business periods. LSKD now benefits from an optimised, efficient, and scalable storage solution that supports their ongoing growth.
