19 Reasons to Use our Warehouses for Construction Supplies and Industrial Machinery
Choosing a warehouse for your supplies and machinery can be an arduous process. But if you know what to look for, you can confidently pick a warehouse well-suited to your needs.
Be sure to check reviews and references, and speak to a manager of the warehouse—in person at the warehouse if possible—before you make a decision. It may take a little extra time, but you will save time and money in the long run if you don’t have to change warehouses after a year or two.
Why Warehouse with Redkey Express?
Redkey Express operates warehouse facilities to meet the storage needs of our local delivery service customers. Whether you need short- or long-term storage, we can provide safe, cost-effective warehousing.
The space part
1. We operate well-designed and well-organized warehouses with shelving appropriate for construction supplies and industrial parts. The spaces are used efficiently to keep customer costs down, all items are easily accessible, and navigation is easy when your goods are needed.
2. Vertical space is used with tall racks and mezzanine floors for larger or less-frequently-accessed items.
3. Regular inventory reviews identify slow-moving or obsolete items to make room for more essential products.
4. Your inventory will be categorized into logical groups based on type, size and usage.
The technology part
5. Our inventory management software streamlines tracking stock levels, monitoring demand, and simplifying reordering.
6. Barcodes and RFID make for accurate tracking and faster item retrieval.
7. Digital tools aid the documentation and reporting of all warehouse operations, including receipts, shipments and inventory levels—and maximize accuracy and accessibility.
8. Working with customers, we use historical data and market trends to forecast demand. We make inventory adjustment recommendations to prevent overstocks and stockouts.
