Commercial storage is an essential part of every e-commerce company’s business to ensure the smooth running of the business and the prompt delivery of goods to customers. An efficient product storage process helps to optimise the management of goods, reduce the likelihood of errors and ensure a quick response to changing needs. Let’s look at five tips to keep your commercial storage unit tidy and achieve maximum efficiency.
1. Smooth Sorting and Organisation of Goods
Seamless sorting and organisation of goods ensures efficient management and quick retrieval of goods in the commercial storage unit. The first step is to determine how the goods will be organised: by type, size, season, or frequency of sale. This makes it easier to find and access the goods you need. It is also recommended to follow the FIFO (First In, First Out) principle, so that older goods are picked up first, which reduces the accumulation of obsolete goods and ensures that they are sold quickly.
Optimisation of storage space should also be considered when organising goods. Goods that are more frequently used or popular should be stored in easily accessible locations to reduce the time needed to find them. Meanwhile, seasonal goods can be stored in separate areas to facilitate access only during certain periods.
2. Inventory and Tracking of Goods
As mentioned above, it is important to sort and organise goods smoothly in order to ensure efficient warehouse management. The first step should be to establish a clear classification system that allows goods to be categorised by type, size, season, or other criteria. Such a systematic approach makes it possible to find the goods needed quickly.
It’s also important to optimise the layout of goods in the product storage unit so that the most frequently needed goods are easily accessible. Using labelling, numbering, or even QR codes can further simplify the tracking and identification of goods. Automated systems such as tracking applications can make sorting even more accurate and faster, reducing the likelihood of errors and ensuring smooth movement of goods in the storage unit.
3. Commercial Storage Unit Procedures
A tidy storage area is important for efficient storage and logistics. Regular cleaning and organisation procedures are important to ensure that the warehouse is kept tidy. Every corner of the commercial storage unit must be used optimally, so it’s important to periodically go through the goods and remove those that are no longer needed or that have expired.
It’s also important to establish a housekeeping system that clearly defines who is responsible for returning the goods to the site and cleaning the warehouse space and when. Regular checks help to ensure that the warehouse doesn’t lose its functionality.
4. Safety and Security Measures
The security of goods in the product storage is a top priority. SPACE24 ensures constant protection with modern CCTV cameras and security systems that operate 24/7. This guarantees the protection of your goods from potential threats, as the premises are constantly monitored and supervised by qualified security guards.
In addition, SPACE24 also takes care of proper storage conditions, with climate control systems that ensure optimal temperature and humidity levels. This is important not only for the safety of the goods, but also for maintaining their quality, as the stored goods are not affected by weather conditions. With these security measures in place, you can rest assured about the safety of your goods, knowing that they are properly maintained and protected around the clock.
5. Flexibility and Adaptability to Business Needs
Flexibility and the ability to adapt quickly to changing business needs is one of the main advantages of the commercial storage services offered by SPACE24. This service allows you to easily adjust the size of your warehouse space according to seasonal needs or different periods of business expansion. Whether your volume of goods is increasing or decreasing, SPACE24 gives you the possibility to rent the right size unit and, if necessary, to modify the contract or even to terminate it without any long term commitment.
This flexibility also allows you to reduce additional costs, as you can choose only as much storage space as your business really needs. This is particularly useful for e-commerce businesses that need to adapt to different product flows and seasonal changes. This flexibility makes it easy to optimise the storage and logistics of goods according to your business’s target needs.
