Do you need more space for your company? Renting a commercial storage facility has several advantages over signing a business warehouse lease. Commercial storage facilities are inexpensive, offer greater flexibility, and have built-in security measures.
Nevertheless, how you organize your commercial storage unit for easy access will impact your productivity and your business. Jumbo Storage has a few solutions for managing your commercial storage unit so you can get in and out quickly and return to work.
Businesses That Benefit from Self Storage
Most businesses could use additional space. Whether they are expanding their existing location, opening new locations, or just carrying on their regular operations, using self-storage comes in handy. Here are a few businesses that can benefit from using self-storage services:
- Self-Employed Business Owners
- Retail Businesses
- Real Estate Agents & Home Stagers
- Creative Businesses
- Restaurant Owners
While specific needs can vary from business to business, self-storage options can help reduce clutter and keep costs down, and they provide flexibility when organized correctly.
How to Organize Commercial Storage Unit
1. Store Products Vertically
The size of the products your business is storing at a commercial storage facility will determine the type and number of units you need to rent and how you organize your storage unit.
In any case, it's beneficial to think vertically whenever possible. Because you're paying for the square footage of your storage unit's floor, using as much vertical space as possible helps you save money on storage.
2. Build Custom Shelves
Line shelving units against the walls, and label shelves, plastic bins, and boxes. Store less commonly sold or needed items higher up on shelving units or in more difficult-to-access spots to maximize space and productivity. Depending on the nature of your business, you may store products directly on the shelves or place storage and other items in boxes or bins.
Whether using strong moving boxes or plastic bins, keep the box sizes as consistent as possible for effective stacking.
3. Regular Declutter Your Commercial Storage Facility
Decluttering your home office, living room, or any other room can seem complicated. But it's worth your time and effort to implement habits that will boost productivity.
For example, plan a time to declutter your business storage unit with monthly maintenance and audits of what is stored within it. It could be time to donate outdated, unneeded goods that take valuable storage space and break down boxes.
With a bit of forethought and dedication to decluttering and organization, you can have a smoother workflow and improved delivery and customer service.
