Whether we’re focused on warehouses, transport, or store shelves, proper product storage is essential to the success of your retail business. There are two overarching factors:
At all times, your products must be stored in optimal conditions for the individual item.
This goes for all storage points, up to and including when the product lands on store shelves. A misstep here could not only damage your product’s quality, but your brand’s reputation as well.
Retail storage isn’t just about storing products in a single location; it’s about the process of storing, accessing, and transporting multiple times throughout the supply chain.
The surrounding environment should also be conducive to inventory accessibility. Proper signage, adequate lighting, and even movable storage space and equipment should allow team members to transport products as efficiently as possible.
Finally, you’ll likely rely on a variety of assistive technology as your products move from your warehouse to store shelves. Whether this means labor-focused robotic technology or digital software for warehouse management purposes, the proper tools can help you streamline (and even supercharge) your retail storage processes.
If your products aren’t properly stored at all times — for both quality and transportation purposes — you’re not going to be able to deliver them as promised to your customers.
With a proper retail storage plan in place, though, your products will end up in your customer’s hands as expected, with as little friction as possible.
