Stacking Up for Christmas

With 2020 demanding an increased influx of ordering items online and national lockdown’s preventing early Christmas shopping in person, the early requirements for extra stocking to meet the increased online demand needs to be paramount in importance to avoid disappointment and losses.

This is the time where businesses need to allocate warehouse storage racks to allow extra stocking up in the face of demand and warehouses increase their space. This also may call for businesses to replace their previous commercial shelving in favour of something new and spacious.

Warehouse Efficiency

With the seasonal rush providing a more hectic workflow than usual, taking the time to maximise the efficiency of your current warehouse space in preparation is key to streamlining workflow pace.

If your current spacing and shelving is tight for two forklifts to work within, then your current racking may play the biggest factor. This potentially holds up orders being done in a timelessly fashion as workers navigate for space to successfully do their job in good time.

By overhauling your warehouse storage equipment into something that allows for more room whilst not compromising strength to withhold the weight, you are able to provide a safer and stress free working environment where workers can effectively meet their targets.

Office Order

Just as much as the warehouse floor needs an order to things operate more spacious, the back office environment also finds itself at its busiest during these festivities also.

Filing, documentation and order requests triple over the festive periods and masses of paper and records need to be kept which is not unusual for them to be found littered around the office as things get busier and busier.

By installing spacious and more versatile office equipment Manchester you can be sure that risks of losses for orders or filing is reduced and more room provided with work stations.

Prepare for the Future

With the current state of affairs in relation to COVID-19 and lockdowns, the surge in online ordering is requiring businesses to stock up on products and reduce their in-store stockpiling.

This trend may continue for years to come or even become the new normality when it comes to purchases, which means that businesses with warehouse requirements will have to take precautions to ensure the increased workloads will have the room to accommodate the requirements from commercial shelving to pallet racking.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, but it’s also looking a lot like the future requires space which can only be made using warehouse storage racks.
