A well-organized and operating stockroom is essential to maintaining commercial facilities such as: High Rise Buildings, Hospitals, Schools, Airports, Condominiums, Conference Centers, and other buildings where operations need to be seamless.
The world has experienced Supply Shortages and shipping delays over the last few months. It is more important than ever to audit and examine your stockroom and create space and organize stock. It is just as important to establish inventory levels and a replenishment system to avoid running out of supplies and wasting valuable time and money.
1. Audit and Examine your Stockroom
While examining your stockroom consider:
- Is my stockroom safe? To keep operations running and workers safe, it is important to regularly check for tripping hazards, fire code violations, items likely to fall off shelves, and ensure chemicals are safely stored and labeled.

2. Create Space and Organize Stock
- Who wouldn’t love more space?
If an audit of the stockroom demands more space, consider taking advantage of vertical space; sturdy shelving and bin boxes can go a long way to creating vertical space. Also, hanging bulky items such as cords can not only save space, but potentially make the stockroom safer too, by avoiding tripping hazards.

3. Establish Inventory Procedures and Re-Ordering System
Stock Inventory Procedures: Regularly examining the procedures for taking items in and out of stock can have a big impact on the bottom line. Whether the stockroom is the size of a closet or as big as a football field, not having an accurate inventory count can waste valuable resources and cause frustration.
