Describe the goods before the space
List the product categories and packaging formats you expect to store. Include the temperature conditions specified for the products, any segregation requirements and restrictions on handling. A pallet count alone does not explain whether the goods are suitable for a proposed facility.
Show average and peak volumes
Use the units your business actually manages: pallets, cases, tonnes or a combination. Distinguish ordinary stockholding from a seasonal peak or a large inbound delivery. If estimates are preliminary, say so and describe the basis.
Explain how goods arrive and leave
Provide the inbound delivery format and frequency, then describe a typical outbound order. Whole-pallet dispatch, case picking and mixed orders can create different handling requirements. Include transport arrangements and destination constraints when known.
Add stock rules and records
Identify batch, lot, production-date and expiry requirements. Explain how your team instructs stock rotation and releases goods. Include any reports or reconciliation information you need.
Set out timing and location
State the preferred city, expected start, duration and flexibility. Nord Hub projects are at different development stages, so an enquiry starts a discussion; it does not confirm capacity or a delivery date.
Separate essentials from preferences
Mark requirements that are essential for product suitability or business operations. List preferences separately. This helps the conversation focus on the conditions that genuinely determine whether a proposed arrangement will work.
