STOKA
- Layout and flow design
- Sizing and system engineering
- Equipment supply and the paperwork it involves
- Installation and commissioning
- Integration with the management system
- Training and system support
The problem is the same whether the building is called a warehouse, a depot or a distribution center.
What STOKA does, and what it does not
Five verbs, in the order in which they happen.
- Designs
The layout, the flow and the sizing of the system, based on data from your operation.
- Supplies
The equipment delivered on site, with the logistics and customs clearance handled by STOKA.
- Installs
The on-site assembly, coordinated by sector so it can coexist with the operation.
- Integrates
The connection with the software that orders the movements and with the management system your company already uses.
- Supports
The installed system, and the training of the team that operates it.
And what it does not do
- It does not sell equipment off a catalog: without data from the operation there is no recommended machine.
- It does not leave the equipment at the door: the project ends with the system running and the team trained.
- It does not recommend automating when the diagnosis does not call for it.
How we think about the work
Three criteria, and each one shows up in a concrete decision.
The problem first, the technology afterwards. When an inquiry arrives asking for a stacker crane, the first question is not how many, but what is failing. If what is failing is that inventory has no fixed location, a stacker crane simply stores the disorder faster.
Data before catalog. No proposal goes out without the floor plan, the load unit and the peak movements: on the average, any system fits, and then it saturates. And saying no when it is warranted: if the operation is about to change, today's design will be obsolete, and we say so before quoting.
On every project
What you can expect
- A view of the whole operation.
We connect receiving, storage, picking and shipping, so that an improvement in one area does not push the problem into another.
- Alternatives explained.
We tell you what each proposal solves, with what data we calculated it and what conditions could change the result.
- A staged plan.
We set priorities and design each step with the next one in mind, subject to system compatibility, which engineering validates on the project.
- A single point of responsibility.
Whoever you speak with at the start is who will be on your project. STOKA runs the project end to end.
Our technology
The technology we integrate
STOKA designs, imports, installs and integrates; manufacturing belongs to the manufacturers we work with. Their line includes stacker cranes, pallet shuttles, autonomous mobile robots, vertical storage, conveyors and racking, with warehouse management and warehouse control software.

The references in this block belong to the manufacturer we work with: more than 1,000 installations in more than 30 countries and five continents, with more than 20 years of manufacturing history. They are not STOKA projects. Acquisition cost can be up to 40% lower than European alternatives: the difference is in the cost structure, not in the technical quality.
What STOKA does on your project
The scope is the same on every project, and it is worth having it in plain sight before signing.
STOKA runs the project end to end, with a single point of contact: whatever needs solving gets solved there, without you having to talk to anyone else.
Where we are and how far we reach
STOKA's base is in Mendoza, Argentina, and projects across Latin America are evaluated and executed from there.

- Mendoza, Argentina
- Reach
- Projects across Latin America
- How
- Remote assessment, and we travel when the project warrants it
The evaluation is done remotely with data from your operation, in the same language and in nearby time zones, and we travel when the project justifies it. Outside Mendoza there is no office, branch, subsidiary or resident team, and we do not say this as a limitation: we say it because a structure that does not exist cannot hold up a service promise.
The team
Engineering carries the project end to end: it surveys the operation, sizes the system, follows the build and sees the start-up through.
Whoever you speak with at the start is who will be on your project. There is no sales layer that later hands you off, and no pre-sales team that disappears once assembly begins.
Frequently asked questions
No. STOKA's base is in Mendoza, Argentina, and projects across Latin America are evaluated and executed from there. The evaluation is done remotely with data from your operation, and we travel when the project justifies it.
It can be up to 40% lower. The difference is in the cost structure, not in the technical quality. What changes the final price of a project is the sizing: an oversized system is expensive whatever its origin.
STOKA supports the system it installed and trains the team that operates it. The equipment maintenance plan is set by its manufacturer, and is delivered with the project documentation.
