Optimizing storage costs per square foot and maximizing picking efficiency is a continuous challenge faced by all logistics operations.  The question of how to store more in less space is always being asked.  With the introduction of Storeganizer, operations are now able to tailor design and convert their existing racking bays into multi pick locations that can cater for a diverse range of products.

‘Storeganizer has allowed us to assist our clients to adapt to the quickly changing market conditions and end customer requirements,’ stated Mr. Nadim Fakih, Regional Sales Manager at SPAN.  ‘With this solution we are able to convert an existing racking bay into a multi pick location within a couple of hours.’  As the logistics industry moves away from the conventional handling of cases and pallets into single unit management, solutions like Storeganizer are becoming more critical.Faced with a considerable product range extension, companies like Chalhoub Group, GWC and NOV were early adopters of these intelligent solutions which has allowed them to quickly tackle the changing logistics environment.

Through the implementation of Storeganizer, clients can look forward to over 35% savings in ‘usable’ space with order picker travel time being reduced by up to 40%.  Storeganizer has provided existing operations with a quick solution that allows them to convert their existing operations into a platform that can cater for the e-commerce fulfilment requirement by boosting the number of single unit pick locations and providing immediate and abundant space locations for returned goods pending segregation. The solution comprised of a series of lightweight sliding vertical curtains can be created in any size or dimension making it suitable for a wide range of product types.

Storeganizer benefits:

• Storeganizer increases the number of picking locations available within the same footprint directly improving picking KPIs and increasing accuracy. By stacking SKUs vertically, the ‘working’ pick area is drastically reduced; therefore, reducing travel time and increasing pick productivity. On average, travelling time is reduced by 42%, resulting in a 26% gain in order picking efficiency.
• Storeganizer limits the costs per square meter. It is designed to accommodate small items in columns of suspended, easy-to-access vertical pockets, made of flexible, durable coated textile. Although lightweight themselves, these columns can support up to 100 kg as standard.
• Storeganizer can help limit bending and heavy lifting, by storing the fastest moving and/or heaviest SKUs on the ‘right’ height level.

The e-commerce boom, the shift to omni-channel distribution, and SKU proliferation are joining forces to put increasingly high demands on today’s warehouses and distribution centres. Solutions like Storeganizer are helping our clients cope with these changes and stay ahead of the curve.  Contact us today to help you compete effectively, be able to flex and adapt to these changes.
