Simplify Stock Management With Best-In-Class Retail Racking Systems
read
Upgrading your stockroom storage can be incredibly beneficial. Our tailor-made storage solutions not only increase available storage space but also simplify inventory management and provide a highly efficient stock retrieval process. This efficiency can significantly boost your productivity and streamline your operations.
Think of it this way: You can tap into unused vertical space and improve the accessibility of pre-existing horizontal storage space. You can also build a system around the size and type of inventory you’re handling instead of relying on a generic solution that doesn’t serve your business's needs.
In the round, this means less time spent sorting through a morass of disorganised boxes every time you need to check your inventory, more efficient daily or weekly shelving restocks, and a smoother sales process. This assumes, of course, that a significant percentage of conversions involve a member of staff heading back to your storeroom and hand-picking inventory from a rack.
An increase in storage space can also simplify replenishment operations. With the right solution, you’ll have the room needed to justify larger and less frequent orders. This cuts down on the total number of person-hours spent organising and packing stock after hours. This reduction in manual labour can free up your staff's time for more value-adding tasks.
Furthermore, investing in quality racking and shelving solutions can revolutionise your retail space. Carefully designed and sturdy racking and shelving systems are tailored to maximise your store's layout, allowing for efficient organisation and display of products. Retailers can enhance their customers' shopping experience by making products more accessible and visually appealing, increasing sales and customer satisfaction.
The question is, how can retail managers find the bespoke racking systems needed to restore sanity and order to their stockrooms?
Case Study
For this project, we supplied and installed 218 frames of 11-metre high Kimer pallet racking; over 100 metres of anti-collapse mesh, 64 metres of mesh partitioning and 83 bays of steel shelving, plus the required floor bolts, shims, row spacers, frame protectors and corner guards. Here's how we did it!
We are retail and industrial racking specialists with over 45 years of hands-on experience. We can help you design, source (or manufacture) and install stockroom racking that maximises storage space and simplifies your day-to-day processes.
We've done the same for some of the UK’s biggest retailers. However, that’s not to say we’re only interested in undertaking projects for national brands.
As a business, we take pride in our roots as a family-owned enterprise prioritising customer service. We’ve designed and installed retail racking for a host of smaller independent or regional retailers looking to maximise their storage space or simplify their stockroom operations. When you partner with us, you're not just getting a personal and customer-focused business – you're investing in quality, tradition, and the tools to take your retail space to the next level.
With the help of our sister company, which has its own (30,000 sq ft.) manufacturing space, we can produce more bespoke racking to order and fabricate structural and architectural steelwork for retail mezzanine floors when required.
We are also one of a small handful of UK racking specialists with a dedicated design department equipped with the latest CAD technology and staffed by talented designers. This capability enables us to produce genuinely transformative plans designed to eke out and maximise every square inch of available space.
With approval to upgrade a storage space, rushing and ordering racking is tempting. Unfortunately, getting the most out of a space requires careful planning.
That’s why we start every engagement with a detailed consultation. This consultation helps us understand your stockroom usage. We want to know your pain points and how to improve inventory flow or reduce picking times by creating a space that meets your needs.
After we finish this task, our planning team will find the best solution. They will refine the design until it is ready for your approval of your new layout.
Based on your needs, we will order or install the racking to complete your project. Then, we will deliver all items to your location and install your new retail storage system.
We know the rules for retail projects. We can move bulky inventory through tight spaces. We can also work after hours to minimise interruptions. We excel at providing turn-key installation services on a tight deadline.
Our retail racking services are part of a larger package of complementary storage solutions. It includes designing, making, and installing mezzanine floors, staircases, and custom fabrications where needed.
