Supply Chain Infrastructure Design

Maybe you’re expanding into new markets, redesigning your distribution network, or reassessing the physical footprint of your operations. Maybe you need to adapt your infrastructure to meet evolving customer expectations, changing product flows, or your commitment to net zero.

Whatever the challenge, the way you design and structure your supply chain infrastructure has a profound impact on your business performance. At Waterfront, we help organisations develop fit-for-purpose, future-ready infrastructure strategies that deliver efficiency, scalability, and resilience—without compromising sustainability or cost-effectiveness.

Design and develop future-ready supply chain infrastructure that aligns with your strategic goals, operational needs, and sustainability ambitions.

What do we offer?

As regulatory pressures & stakeholder expectations rise, supply chain infrastructure must do more than support operations—it must enable transparency, traceability, & accountability. We help organisations design infrastructure that not only meets performance and scalability needs but also supports clear, auditable ESG reporting & compliance, ensuring your supply chain is future-proof, responsible, & resilient.

We support businesses in designing, planning, & delivering physical & digital infrastructure solutions that elevate supply chain performance & align with long-term business strategy.

Our work typically includes:

  • Infrastructure needs assessment – In line with your growth, service levels, & sustainability goals.

  • Logistics network design – Defining optimal configuration of warehouses, distribution centres, and hubs.

  • Capacity and location planning – Evaluating footprint and scalability options across regions or markets.

  • Scenario modelling and cost-benefit analysis – Making informed decisions using data-driven tools and insights.

  • Sustainable infrastructure planning – Designing low-impact, energy-efficient, and carbon-conscious facilities.

How is our approach different?

At Waterfront, our focus is to design and develop logistics infrastructure that aligns seamlessly with your business strategy, operational needs, and future growth. From network configuration and facility planning to capacity optimisation and technology integration, we help build infrastructure that is efficient, scalable, and built to perform in a rapidly changing world.

  • We bridge strategy and implementation, ensuring your infrastructure design is not just aspirational, but fully executable and measurable.

  • We bring together engineering, operational, and sustainability expertise to develop infrastructure that delivers across performance, cost, and climate goals.

  • We tailor our solutions to your unique business context—from industry dynamics and product flows to customer expectations—avoiding generic, off-the-shelf models.

  • We understand the supplier market and are able to develop solutions that are feasible and not just spreadsheet driven.

  • We collaborate closely with your teams, suppliers, and partners, delivering infrastructure that is aligned, auditable, and future-ready, supporting both operational excellence and ESG compliance from the ground up.
