Wayfair needed a distribution center capable of balancing a high volume of fast-moving shipping items, as well as a large number of shipments that needed to be stored longer before shipping. Pure collaborated with Wayfair to design a prototype last mile distribution center that would serve as the model for future distribution sites.
The 158,000 square-foot facility includes a massive parking area capable of holding more than 500 trucks and trailers, and plentiful loading bays to serve the high velocity operation. Fast moving items are processed through a long, narrow terminal section, while longer-term products are stored in a traditionally wider section of the facility.
