Custom Warehouse Solutions
Custom Warehouse Systems for Your Business
No two warehouses operate exactly the same. Your product mix, order volume, building restrictions, staffing, and growth plans each introduce unique challenges that generic layouts and systems often cannot address effectively. Prestige offers tailored warehouse solutions built specifically around your operational needs — not the other way around. We utilize a range of systems, including pallet racking, mezzanines, modular offices, automated systems, and more, to design a layout and material handling setup that enhances your team’s efficiency, safety, and workflow.
What “Custom” Means for Your Warehouse
Custom doesn’t always mean complicated. Sometimes, it’s as simple as combining the right type of pallet rack with industrial shelving and a small mezzanine. Other times, it involves creating a long-term plan that includes phased installation, semi-automation, and future expansion. The goal is to design a solution that matches how your business actually operates: which SKUs move fastest, how orders are picked, where bottlenecks occur, and what your facilities’ space permits. We work within your constraints (budget, footprint, clear height, existing equipment) to develop a solution that is practical to install and maintain.
- Layouts tailored to your workflow, from receiving through shipping.
- Storage systems matched to your SKU profile, turn rates, and handling methods.
- Solutions that respect your building’s real-world limits (columns, doors, slab, clear height).
- Phased plans that can be implemented over time instead of all at once.
Our Process for Custom Warehouse Solutions
At Prestige, our approach to every custom warehouse project is rooted in the Prestige Promise. When you work with us, you’re not just receiving a design or a storage system — you’re partnering with a team dedicated to your success from day one and long after installation is complete. That promise guides how we understand your needs, how we execute your solution, and how we support you as your business grows.
Here’s how the Prestige Promise shapes our work on every custom warehouse solution:
- Discovery: We begin by understanding your facility’s operations, exploring every angle of each challenge, and delivering both proven and bespoke solutions precisely aligned with your strategic goals.
- Execution: From engineering and procurement through installation and final walkthrough, every detail is managed with safety, precision, and transparency, ensuring a smooth process and robust system.
- Support: Our commitment extends beyond the initial project; we provide training, upgrades, insights, and strategic planning, enabling your storage solutions to evolve alongside your growing business.

New Facilities, Expansions, & Reconfigurations
Warehouse layout projects can look very different depending on where you are in your facility’s lifecycle. We routinely support customers who are planning brand-new buildings, expanding an existing footprint, or reworking a warehouse for a business that has grown organically over time.
For new or “greenfield” facilities, we help you take advantage of the blank slate, planning storage and workflow before equipment is ordered. In expansions, we focus on connecting old and new space so your warehouse functions as a single, integrated operation. When reconfiguring existing buildings, we work within your constraints—columns, dock locations, low-clearance areas—to create a layout that is more deliberate and easier to manage.
Tailored Combinations of Storage Systems
Most custom warehouse solutions are not about one single product—they’re about how multiple systems work together in the same facility. We help you decide where selective pallet rack, high-density rack, shelving, mezzanines, modular offices, and wire partitions make the most sense so you are using your cubic space strategically, not just filling floor area.
In a typical project, you might rely on selective pallet rack for general inventory, use deep-lane systems (drive-in, push-back, or pallet shuttle) for high-volume SKUs, and deploy shelving for case-pick items. Mezzanines or work platforms can add storage or work areas above the floor, while modular offices and wire partitions create supervised, secure, or specialized spaces inside the warehouse.
In practice, that often means:
- Pallet storage zones that are designed around capacity, accessibility, and safe lift-equipment travel.
- Pick and small-parts areas that keep SKUs visible, organized, and efficient for your team to work in.
- Integrated work, office, and secure areas that fit within the layout without sacrificing valuable storage space.
Integrating Automation Where It Makes Sense
Automation should support your operation, not overwhelm it. We help you evaluate where automated systems can genuinely add value and how they should integrate with your existing layout, processes, and team.
In some facilities, that might mean introducing vertical lift modules (VLMs) for high-value or small parts, or using pallet shuttle systems in deep-lane storage to increase throughput and reduce lift truck traffic. In others, the right move may be to prepare the building and layout now so automation can be added cleanly in a later phase, without redoing your entire warehouse.
In practical terms, we focus on:
- Identifying where automation truly helps by targeting areas where it can improve throughput, accuracy, safety, or labor efficiency.
- Integrating new systems into your existing operation so automated equipment works with your current material flow, software, and processes instead of fighting them.
- Planning for future automation by designing layouts, utilities, and infrastructure that can support additional systems in later phases without major rework.
Industry-Specific Customization
We serve various industries, and they each have unique needs, such as traceability, temperature regulation, secure storage, ergonomic picking, or quick order processing. We customize each solution to meet the standards and practical demands of your specific environment. For example, an automotive parts warehouse might focus on SKU accessibility and organized bins, while a food and beverage facility may require deep-lane storage and clear traffic separation between clean and non-clean zones. Healthcare and pharmaceutical settings often demand secure storage and controlled access, whereas government and educational institutions may need flexible, multi-purpose spaces.
Phased Solutions That Fit Your Budget and Timeline
Many operations cannot shut down for a complete overhaul, and every project has to respect real-world budget and resource limits. We design custom solutions that can be installed in logical phases so you can see improvement early while still moving toward a long-term plan.
This may involve starting with a reconfiguration of existing rack, adding protection in high-impact areas, or building a mezzanine to relieve pressure on floor space. Future phases can then add additional bays of rack, introduce automation, or extend into new areas of the building. The intent is to keep each step meaningful and manageable.
- Clear phasing plans that limit disruption to daily operations.
- Prioritized improvements that address your most pressing issues first.
- Flexibility to adjust future phases as your business and budget evolve.

Safety and Protection Built into Every Custom Solution
Safety is a core part of every design decision we make. Custom warehouse solutions must not only fit product and workflow but also protect people, equipment, and inventory. We look closely at where lift trucks, pallet jacks, and pedestrians intersect, and how to shield critical rack, door frames, and building structures.
Rather than treating safety as a separate layer, we build it into the layout and equipment plan. This approach helps reduce damage, unplanned downtime, and risk to your team while keeping traffic paths clear and predictable.
- Guard rail to separate pedestrian walkways from lift truck aisles where appropriate.
- End-of-aisle protection and post protectors in high-impact areas.
- Considerations for egress, emergency access, and visibility at intersections.
