From Annual Fixes to Multi-Year Strategy:

Webinar

Food and Beverage Distribution facilities in the U.S. are simply getting old. JLL and Newmark put the average facility at 37 - 42 years old, and more than 75% were built before 2000. Just like the human body, at some point, age starts to matter: more things break and take extra effort to repair. Meanwhile energy costs continue to rise and the facilities of yesteryear struggle to handle the SKU counts and velocities of today's demand. While automation and technology offer solutions to some operational concerns, many demand facility changes to optimize outputs. All of this affects your bottom line, whether building owner, operator, or both.

While some companies have moved, not every distributor can make employees drive further to relocate their business; and building owners seek performance from their investment, not an empty building with a "for lease" sign out front. Most organizations have had the same formula for years: fix what breaks and plan for a new roof every 15 or 20 years. That approach gets more expensive as straight-line depreciation schedules run out, refrigerants phase-out, and the maintenance list gets longer. This webinar looks at a different way to handle it—evaluating the facility, the systems, the technology, and the real business goals together; then applying tax and financial tools most companies overlook, so the math on larger, comprehensive projects works. Set your course to achieve those business goals with fewer band-aid fixes and more capital available for growth.
