Warehouse & logistics
Warehouse networks designed around the way your site works
High racking, long runs, moving stock and 24-hour shifts all put pressure on a network. We plan the cabling, Wi-Fi, security and voice together, so the site works at go-live and is easy to extend.
Our main area of work
Warehouse and logistics fit-outs are where ITS Networks focuses. On a new build or a refurbishment, we can design and manage the whole network, or deliver one package alongside your main contractor.
Common problems we solve
Wi-Fi that drops in the aisles
Steel racking and dense stock absorb and reflect signal. We survey and design for the aisles, at the height where scanners and vehicle terminals are actually used.
Cabling that can’t keep up
Cabinets are often placed for the first phase only. We plan routes, containment and cabinet space with the next mezzanine or extension in mind.
Cameras with nowhere sensible to connect
We plan cabling and switch ports for docks, yards, goods-in and the perimeter from the start.
Faults nobody owns
One team installs and supports the whole system, so a fault cannot be passed between suppliers.
Typical scope
- Cat6/Cat6a horizontal cabling, containment and cabinet layout
- Single-mode or multimode fibre backbones, including external and ducted runs to gatehouses and outbuildings
- ECSE-led Ekahau survey and design, installation and post-install validation
- CCTV for docks, yards and the perimeter, plus access control for staff and visitor doors
- Voice for the office, gatehouse and transport desk
- Labelling, Fluke and OTDR certification, and handover documentation
- Maintenance afterwards, including 24×7 monitoring and a staffed support desk by contract
How a warehouse project runs

We walk the routes, cabinet locations and areas that need access equipment.
- 3
Design & programme
Drawings, a costed scope and phasing that fit around operations.
- 4
Install & certify
Our IPAF-licensed engineers install at height, then test every link.
- 5
Handover & support
Test results, records and a support option that suits your shift pattern.
Frequently asked questions
Can you start before the racking goes in?
Yes, and it often helps. We can also design around existing racking on a live site.
Can you work alongside our main contractor?
Yes. We fit into the programme and coordinate access and working at height.
Can our IT provider manage the relationship?
Yes. We can deliver the work under their brand through our White Label Services.
Fitting out or reconfiguring a warehouse?
Send us the unit size, your target go-live date and whether the site is operating. We will come back with a proposed approach.
