When you think of retail storage, in most cases, the image that comes to mind is of the static gondola shelving on the sales floor. These storage solutions play a big part in presenting products and influencing sales, however, there is much more to retail storage than actually meets the consumer eye. Most retail storage is behind the scenes.
In a store room where space can be limited, it can be a real challenge to efficiently store inventory and overstock. As a result, your inventory can become dis-organised and, when it’s difficult to find the items that are in high demand and need replenishment, staff morale and productivity can suffer.
At Rackline, we are committed to the maximising of stock storage and easy access to inventory. Whether you are limited to a small storeroom or a spacious stockroom, we have the experience to help design a storage solution that best fits your requirements.
Mobile Retail Shelving Solutions for Retail
In a small retail storeroom, it’s essential to find the safest and most efficient way to distribute shelving to make the most of what space is available. The ideal solution for this problem is to introduce mobile shelving. One of the biggest problems with static shelving is that there is a necessity for there to be an aisle between each row of shelves to provide access to the inventory. In contrast, the biggest benefit of mobile retail shelving is that there is no need for more than one aisle at any one time. Shelves or racking can simply be moved, providing a lot more space and a much improved inventory management solution.
Bespoke mobile storage units, such as Rackline’s MonoTrak or Multitrak high density mobile shelving, are designed to fill the space that would otherwise be reserved for aisles. This provides much more storage space for inventory, helping to keep stock in much improved order. By being able to keep more inventory in stock, retailers can also stand to save money by reducing the logistical costs of shipping new stock in on a regular basis.
Products Designed with the Client in Mind
To provide bespoke retail storage solutions for all clients, our shelving is extremely flexible and interchangeable. For example, depending on the stock that needs to be stored, a storage unit could hold shelves, draws or even hanging rails, ideal for garments. For ease of access, double sided storage is also available, providing access to 2 rows of storage at once.
Examples:
In this Case Study see, how Selfridges has combined secure storage, static and mobile shelving to both maximise its back of house storage and increase efficiency within it’s Manchester Trafford Centre Store.
