We Almost Outgrew Our Warehouse in One Year!
It's hard to believe that it's almost a year since we moved our small business into a new warehouse. Remarkably, it already feels like we're starting to outgrow it. Since last year, we've expanded our product range to over 45 types, causing the space to become quite tight.
In response, we recently undertook a complete rearrangement of the warehouse. This included acquiring about 10 more shelves and relocating some of our products to optimize the order packing process. The most significant change was positioning our sticker shelves directly behind the order packing stations. This adjustment has proven invaluable, as we sell approximately 300,000 stickers per year, necessitating easy accessibility.
Thankfully, we managed to complete this project just in time for our largest planner delivery to date. With the new shelving in place, we were able to fit all 10,000 planners comfortably. Now, the next challenge is finding a customer for each one of them.
