The Importance of Space Allocation in a Warehousing and Distribution Facility

October 10, 2016

Successful warehousing and distribution facilities know how to maximise available space, and in this way they are able to offer more space to companies that need extra storage, when adding a storage extension is not an option at their location. Growing companies often run out of storage space, even during seasonal lows, inventory builds up and more storage space is needed, that is when warehousing services are sought.

Even when a company does need to rent warehousing space, maximising the space that is rented, by effective space allocation, just makes sense. And, there a few ways to do that.

Efficient Space Allocation in a Warehousing and Distribution Facility

Here at Challenge Packing and Warehousing Services, we ensure that our clients maximise the space in our warehouse to best suit their business needs, and that the best space allocation plan is made. This is done in a few ways, by consulting with businesses to determine the right inventory to maximise their warehouse space, and how items are stored and used, determines the best use of rented space.

Many business that need extra storage space for their merchandise often times can’t develop or effectively utilise the space at their own facilities, as we can in our large, open warehouse. For example, all the primary functions of a warehouse – product storage, receiving, picking and staging, and the value added process all take up space; space that growing companies often can’t accommodate at the same location.

However, by renting warehouse space at Challenge, many companies are able to move whole sections of their business, freeing up space at their facilities that can be used effectively to further grow their business in other ways.

Determining your company’s warehousing needs will determine the most efficient use of warehousing space. Companies new to outsourcing their warehousing needs usually just need efficient space allocation to store merchandise and materials, which is done utilising multiple methods of storage, such as using various types of racking, or even mezzanines.

However, if your company does need storage space, Challenge’s professional management team can assist you in determining if space allocation would be better suited for inbound or out bound use.

At Challenge Packaging and Warehousing Services, we have built our success on the understanding that every business has its own unique warehousing needs, and we pride ourselves on working with our clients to find those needs, and then to meet and exceed them.
