STOKA / Seven sectors · Projects across Latin America

Every industry stores differently

What defines a warehouse design is not the size of the company: it is what moves, under what rules, and which process cannot fail. Start with the sector that looks like yours.

  • 7Sectors with their own page
Choose by resemblance, not by name
  • Four variables organize everything

    The load unit, the temperature, the traceability you are held to, and the rotation profile. Those four explain why two warehouses of the same size are not designed alike.

  • Problem first, technology second

    None of these pages starts with a piece of equipment. They start with what happens in that sector when the warehouse does not keep up, and technology appears where it solves something concrete.

  • A single point of contact

    STOKA designs, imports, installs, integrates and supports. STOKA runs the project end to end.

Which one looks like your operation?

E-commerce and retail

Many orders, few units each.

Two opposite destinations coexist in one building: the one or two units going to a person and the replenishment load going to a store. It is shaped by an operational requirement — the promised delivery date and the returns window — and the process carrying the most weight is order picking.

Logistics and 3PL operators

Density is the margin.

The warehouse is not a cost: it is the product being sold, and the occupied square meter is the billing unit. It is shaped by a client requirement — whoever audits is whoever pays — and the process carrying the most weight is separation and traceability per client.

Manufacturing

The warehouse serves the line.

Three warehouses with different logics on one site: raw material, work in process, and finished goods. It is shaped by an operational requirement — the pace of production rules — and the process carrying the most weight is feeding the line on time and in sequence.

Food and beverage

What expires first, ships first.

Full pallets, high rotation, and expiry dates deciding the shipping order above any travel criterion. It is shaped by an operational requirement — the date rules — and the process carrying the most weight is lot traceability, tested for real in a recall.

Pharmaceutical and healthcare

The record is worth as much as the product.

Small high-value units, access control, and a recording requirement higher than any other sector. It is shaped by an operational requirement — unit-level traceability recorded at the moment of the movement — and the process carrying the most weight is keeping every lot path rebuildable.

Mining, oil and gas

When one part is missing, everything stops.

Thousands of barely-moving references, in formats ranging from a bolt to a several-meter component. It is shaped by an operational requirement — criticality rules over rotation — and the process carrying the most weight is location accuracy: finding it matters more than finding it fast.

Cold chain

The square meter you pay for twice.

Not a sector but a technical condition, and it applies to food, healthcare and chemicals. It is shaped by an operational requirement — the chain breaks at the edges, not inside the chamber — and the process carrying the most weight is holding temperature across the whole path, loading and unloading included.

Your sector is not on the list?

The sector matters less than how your load moves

If you do not find yours, tell us what moves, in what format, and which process is failing. That is enough for us to say whether we can help — and if we cannot, we say that too.
