Warehouse Design Revolutionised with TMX’s industry-first Metaverse Environment

TMX Global, a full-service digital and end-to-end supply chain consultancy, recently launched its TMX Metaverse, becoming the pioneer in harnessing the power of immersive technologies to revolutionise the way warehouse solutions are designed and optimised. 

The TMX Metaverse is a virtual environment where warehouse design solutions come to life. It  allows clients and project teams to collaborate and optimise layouts and processes immersively in real-time and from anywhere around the world before committing to the build.

The unique properties of the TMX Metaverse facilitate increased productivity, innovation and transparent decision-making across projects of all complexities, increasing transparency, productivity and efficiencies while reducing risk, time and costs. 

The TMX Metaverse was created as a response to the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. It aimed to future-proof communication and collaboration in a decentralised, post-covid environment and improved agility and effectiveness in responding to future pressures. Munro Footwear Group was the first customer to reap the benefits of TMX Metaverse.  

“Before we embarked on this (warehouse) investment, we had to be certain the size, and operating model was going to be fit for purpose for the long-term across all different parts of our business. TMX enabled us to see the facility in its entirety using innovative virtual reality software before construction began. This gave us the peace of mind that every element of the design was as intended. It also allowed us to be taken on the design journey despite being in the middle of COVID-19 lockdowns and mandated work-from-home orders,” said Marcus Bartlett, Munro’s Co-CEO.  

“We are privileged to be at the cutting edge of this untapped technology and excited for what the future holds within the TMX Metaverse.,” said Tom Yang, the architect behind the TMX Metaverse and Head of Design & Innovation at TMX. “It will revolutionise the way we design, collaborate and optimise warehouse solutions; it is the future of DC design”.
