Customer Challenge:

NTT Data, a leader in the supply chain industry, faced significant challenges in optimizing its
warehouse operations. With multiple warehouses containing disjointed layouts and limited rack
space, they struggled to efficiently manage inventory and maximize storage capacity. Their
outdated infrastructure and reliance on gas-powered equipment further hindered their productivity
and sustainability efforts.

Solution:

Recognizing NTT’s need for a comprehensive overhaul, Summit Handling stepped in with a
tailored best practice in the industry of a warehouse solution. Led by Salesman Chris Burton,
Summit Handling conducted a thorough site assessment collaborating closely with John Ambs,
NTT’s Senior Director of Supply Chain, and his local team. Leveraging their professional expertise
in warehouse optimization, Summit Handling proposed C.A.D. layout designs that prioritized space
utilization and operational safety. To learn more, visit Summit Warehousing Solutions.

best practices, moving from gas-powered to electric equipment. During the project, Summit
Handling navigated complex building codes such as (N.F.P.A.) and (O.S.H.A.) regulations to
ensure compliance and mitigate the potential risks. Additionally, Summit Handling collaborated
with the architects and builders for the NTT Data site to get approval for the building permitting
and completion of the sign-off from the local town for a certificate of occupancy approval.
