Awesome Warehouse Upgrade And Business Tips

One of my favorite e-commerce friends, Cindy Sorely, as well as myself have warehouses.

Mine are smaller and I have three for all ready listed items and one for unlisted items. They probably equal in size Cindy’s warehouse. Most of this article I will be focusing on Cindy’s business and warehouse.

Both of us are Very Professional e-commerce specialists with very different business models yet most major business operations are similar and Cindy’s is a better example of how a warehouse should be set up for that purpose. I am not a niche business so warehouse demands are varied and would not be the best example for a niche or focused product line business, like a majority of business models are.

Cindy’s is an awesome example!

Before getting deep into Cindy’s and my warehouses information here is a big tip:

Investing in an effective warehouse management manages all aspects of the warehouse and the team will result in:

1. Setting up an effective warehouse management system for increased productivity and better real-time inventory control.

2. Always looking at implementing new procedures and looking at new technologies in the market to save both time and effort in daily warehouse operations. These successful practices will improve the overall performance and can lower the overall labor cost.

3. Understanding the type of commodity the business sells (small parcel vs. ugly freight) and optimizing the warehouse storage area accordingly.

4. Maintaining good team morale and prompt, quality order fulfillment, which will back up your sales process, especially if you’re an online business.

I promised I would post photos of the warehouse as we get it ready. We were at a standstill as we had to get electrical outlets along one wall for our shipping. Here are a few and I will add more as we develop

1. The shipping table is ten feet and high. We have outlets at the openings. My son built it and added pegboard on back and shelf on top. The top is a 10 foot counter top from Lowe’s.

2. This is one count (cross stitch fabric counts are how many squares are in a lineal inch). The shelves are from Costco. We have 7 along the wall six feet long each

3. Warehouse is 75 feet long

4. We had a mezzanine that was open. We had new stairs added and it boarded for safety and we store our backstock and close outs to be listed up there.

5. We have a small office and will photo that later.
