With the increasing demand for sports apparel, warehouse storage space has become a real challenge for many companies. Take a look at the following company, who approached us for help with their space. We tackled this problem by introducing a multi-tier shelving system into their warehouse; which increased their storage capacity. Read on to find out the impressive results that followed!
One of the biggest problems that businesses face with their warehouses is limited space. As your business grows, so does your inventory. Eventually, you will reach a point where your warehouse is simply too small to accommodate all your product. This can be a frustrating situation, as it can seem like there is nowhere to turn.
Exploring Solutions: Multi-Tier Shelving System
A sports apparel company came to us with the problem of limited storage space. After an analysis of their existing space, operation functionality, and layout, we discovered the best solution for them would be to implement a multi-tier shelving system. This system provided the company with much-needed storage space allowing them to store more inventory in the same amount of space. This was crucial for their business as they were not in a position to expand the building. By using this type of shelving, the company was able to increase its storage capacity by 50%.
Designing the Layout: Maximizing Efficiency with Multi-Tier Shelving
With the existing shelving, there was potential for improvement such as decreasing isle space and implementing more shelving. By getting better use of their existing storage footprint, the multi-tiered shelving system allowed our customer to significantly increase the amount of product being stored.
The System was 15,000 SQFT and had 18FT clear height in the building. The project consisted of around 600 shelving units, which provided the customer with approximately 7800 shelf levels in total. We also integrated a conveyor system allowing for the easy movement of boxes and totes between the two levels.
After preparing the design and appropriate approval, we acted quickly in order to satisfy our customer’s immediate demand needs from the end user. Throughout the process, we coordinated and obtained building permits on behalf of our customer and started the installation right away, giving a total installation timeline of around 2 months.
The results of the project were very successful. The company was able to increase storage and fulfill orders more efficiently.
