  • Greater organization
  • Increased productivity
  • Improved aesthetics

Problem
A leading distributor of industrial safety products and switches, had outgrown its warehouse space, and needed a new distribution center that would afford ample room for present and future storage.

Objective
To improve organization and optimize space when moving to their new warehouse.

Solution
The Solution Provider's shallow depth storage wall system proved an ideal solution for the distributor's needs. By replacing their industrial shelving with five rows of storage wall sections, enabled them to save 40% of their warehouse space. They are now able to organize their storage according to product family, which greatly enhances inventory control and reduces order picking time.

To complete their system, they also purchased eight industrial workbenches. Arranged as individual workstations, and as an online order staging area, these workbenches serve multiple functions - from receiving and packaging to final inspection stations.

Benefits
The most notable benefit has been the space gain in the warehouse. According to their operations manager, the system delivered an overall space-savings that will accommodate 25% growth over the next several years.

"We did not want to settle into a new facility, only to find ourselves limited by the storage system. From past experience, we knew that industrial shelving would be inadequate."
