The beginning of any storage solution in a Third-Party Warehouse is racking. Every warehouse will need to have some form of storage solution in order to store the items they ship for their clients. Some clients may require picking and packing processes which are then sent directly to the end customer, others may only require pallets to be shipped. The various ways a 3PL can provide flexible services for their clients is endless.

Create a system.

A detailed labeling system in your warehouse can solve many navigational problems. By linking each client with a specific code your employees can then find the pallet spaces efficiently and either pick the items for packing or move the pallet for shipping. By not only labeling the aisles, but also the pallet spaces you can ensure your warehouse is set up for success. In order to increase your available space, you can opt to have narrow aisles in your warehouse. Using an articulated forklift truck provides you with more flexibility as they work in limited areas. Adjustable pallet racking is the most popular storage solution due to its flexibility. If you need to amend the configuration of your pallet bays, you can do this with help from properly trained installers. It is important to contact your supplier to ensure the configuration is still safe for use.

Double the footprint.

Creating dedicated packing and shipping areas can help create the right flow of work throughout your warehouse. Using mezzanine floors to double the space available, creates the perfect solution to segment your warehouse.
