Keeping your warehouse inventory organised is extremely tough if your warehouse is of a smaller size and your stock levels are rising. If left unrecognised and unattended, the warehouse soon creates an untidy, disorganised and hazardous arena to work within.

The solution is having industrial storage racks and commercial shelving to help keep the organization and flow of business in check.

Where it All Leads

By ignoring the most prevalent problems in your current working space, you soon start to see a plethora of problems underneath them affecting your business operations. The biggest problem you will face is negative client perception.

How your company looks to a potential customer or supplier visiting your site is of prime importance and a lack of organisation leaves a sour taste in the mouth of anyone wanting to do business. It is not a confidence builder and reflects negatively on your management.

This starts a chain reaction where your staff will have decreased efficiency and productivity and pulls the morale of your staff down even further. To combat this, maximising your space with the right warehouse storage equipment can eliminate the dangers of an untidy workplace.

Right Steps

By firstly accessing your current storage solutions, you can take stock and make notes of what is stored where and how. Getting feedback from your management team and staff on the main core problems from their level also helps to get a better understanding of where things are currently problematic and helps with a better strategy to counter all.

Talk on areas about your warehouse space with regards to the flow of operations, accessibility for stock and picking, space for stock and how the current dimensions are suitable or not for the handling of stock.

Your workers have the best experience on how difficulties in the operations are, and their voice can be good fuel for inspiration of making things flow better.

Vertical Plan

Vertical space is all about the best utilization of warehousing, with a quicker and easier optimization by extending upwards instead of outwards.

Extending pallet racking bays upwards to help store stock that is taking up valuable floor level, yet not shifting as fast as other stock – making it perfect for having more floor room for faster shifting stock. Also, smaller items could benefit from smaller commercial shelving in a segregated area of the warehouse making better use of other areas of the warehouse.
