Warehouse Refrigeration Tender wizard
Warehouse refrigeration tenders combine building envelope, refrigeration system and materials-handling constraints. Missing the interfaces between the three is the most common cause of change orders. This wizard captures the interfaces first, then drills into each discipline.
Where warehouse tenders go wrong
The three most common failures: undersizing pulldown for peak intake, ignoring floor-heat where refrigeration would freeze the slab, and specifying dock doors without air curtains and interlocks. The wizard prompts for each interaction and blocks progression until they are addressed.
MHE-aware scope
The wizard cross-references racking, VNA aisles, AGV/AMR ready-status and mezzanine loads with refrigeration duty and door strategy, so the resulting tender package reflects how the warehouse will actually operate.
How to build a warehouse refrigeration tender
Envelope-first workflow for chilled, frozen and multi-zone warehouses.
- 1Define the project envelopeEnter project country, industry, facility type (new build, expansion, retrofit), storage temperature bands, ambient conditions, capacity in m³ or tons, and daily throughput.
- 2Specify the refrigeration systemSelect system type (ammonia, CO₂ transcritical, cascade, HFC/HFO), refrigerant preference, and target components: compressors, evaporators, condensers, and control system.
- 3Describe the building envelopeAdd insulated panels, doors, flooring, loading docks, racking systems, and required standards (HACCP, BRC, GDP, ATEX, IFS) with regional certifications.
- 4Attach drawings and BOQUpload architectural drawings, single-line diagrams, tender BOQ, and any existing technical specifications. The AI assistant flags gaps in real time.
- 5Set commercial termsChoose Incoterms, payment terms, warranty period, delivery deadline, installation and commissioning scope, training, spare parts and maintenance SLA.
- 6Generate and distributeExport the RFQ, RFP, tender document, SOW, BOQ, evaluation matrix and executive summary as PDF, DOCX or XLSX. Share a secure link with qualified suppliers worldwide.
