Solving The Puzzle of Warehouse Storage: Tips and Tricks

When it comes to warehouse storage there are so many options available, and choosing the right combination can help improve both operational efficiency and profitability. With the skyrocketing costs of warehouse space, the more you can store in a small area the better. In order to overcome space utilisation issues, we have put together this guide on improving your warehouse storage.

Implications of Utilising Warehouse Space

Space utilisation refers to how effectively the available storage space is used. With every square foot of the warehouse equating to a financial overhead, you need to ensure a positive return on your investment is being generated. Mismanagement of space can also lead to bigger issues: disorganised workspaces, longer retrieval times, increased labour costs and an increased risk of accidents.

An organised warehouse can dramatically speed up order fulfilment, ultimately leading to higher customer satisfaction. Optimising warehouse space isn’t just a logistical concern, it is a strategic tool to help you get ahead of the competition.

There are several challenges when it comes to maximising warehouse storage, let’s have a look at these in more detail:

Lots of warehouses have thousands of products sitting there, idle and not being sold. As well as this costing businesses money, having stock sat around absorbs space that could be better used.

When creating a warehouse space for your business, it is essential to think about long-term plans such as scalability. A warehouse design that is rigid and doesn’t have the ability to adapt can not only hinder business growth, but also make it hard to adjust to changes in stock needs.

There are also physical limitations of warehouses – building height, column placement and door size, which can all affect how the space is utilised. Taking these into account when reviewing your warehouse storage will allow you to use the space optimally.

To get the most out of your warehouse space, here are a few tips:

The organisation of products within your warehouse is key. An inconsistent, messy layout makes it harder for employees to find products and can therefore delay operations.

There should be some logic behind how your products are stored within the warehouse too. For example, sorting products based on their manufacturer or product name. They should also be stored neatly in order to create a safer environment for employees, helping to make their jobs easier.

If you have storage racks that are underfilled, don’t put other products straight into that space, make a note of this for a later date. This means that by making a note of your used and unused warehouse space, you can plan around the arrival of new products more easily.

Not all of the products within your warehouse will be top sellers and there may be some times when you have too much stock of a non-selling product in your warehouse, taking up valuable space. Sometimes you have to simply eliminate excess inventory to make more efficient use of your warehouse storage space.
