In Brief
- We simulate the total logistics costs each occupier type would face when operating from your building
- We then compare those costs across tenant profiles to identify who would pay the most - and why
- The spread between best-case and worst-case tenant for a single building regularly exceeds 30%
What It Is
Most logistics valuations compare buildings to other buildings. Supply chain cost simulation compares a building to what it does for the tenant's supply chain - and that changes what you know about its value.
Transport, labour, throughput, and automation requirements vary enormously between tenant types. A building that cuts a parcel carrier's last-mile costs by 8% is worth far more to that tenant than to a cold chain operator for whom location is irrelevant. By modelling these economics, we identify the use case that unlocks the highest rent - and the tenant most likely to stay.
How It Works
Model the building
We assess location, specification, and operational capacity using 42 site variables - including labour market depth, motorway access, dock configuration, and power supply.
Simulate occupier costs
For each tenant type, we calculate the total logistics cost of operating from that building: transport to customers, labour, throughput constraints, and automation requirements.
Compare and rank
We rank 65 occupier profiles by willingness-to-pay for your specific building, identify the optimal use case, and quantify the rent uplift it delivers.
"Most logistics valuations compare the building to other buildings. We compare the building to what it does for the tenant's supply chain. That tells you what the tenant will actually pay - and whether they'll stay."

What You Get
- Ranked tenant types - which occupier profiles would extract the most value from this building, ordered by willingness-to-pay
- Optimal use case - the specific use case that maximises rental income and lease duration
- Rent sensitivity analysis - how targeted building modifications affect achievable rent, including CAPEX-to-rent ratios
- Tenant stability assessment - which use cases create the deepest operational dependency, reducing re-letting risk
