The idea of moving a whole warehouse can be daunting, but with thorough planning that starts well ahead of time, you will find the move goes smoothly. It’s about being meticulous, ensuring that nothing is overlooked and everyone involved knows their role during the move.
Here are our top tips on how to carry out a hassle-free warehouse move.
Making a realistic estimate of how many workers, and the hours you’ll need them to do, will help make sure that you have enough manpower to carry out a successful move. Things can change in a split-second; it’s wise to overestimate a little so that you can easily handle anything that happens.
If your staff are helping with the move then they need to know the important information, such as what they need to do in the lead up to (and on) moving day. This way, employees can work more efficiently and autonomously by not having to constantly clarify what they need to do and where they should be. Thorough planning and communication is key here to ensure that no crucial details are missed.
Moving a warehouse is complicated enough, without adding in more steps. Make one of your before-the-move tasks to have all of your inventory accounted for and stored in the right places, for a hassle-free move.
Like doing inventory, it’s smart to ensure that you have everything you need for moving before the day arrives. Any safety wear that your staff might need is especially important to organise. Depending on which specialised removalists you use, they may be able to supply what you need for your warehouse move.
Save time on moving day by already knowing what will go where. Planning this doesn’t usually take long, and it makes the unloading process a lot faster and more efficient. Make sure your staff and the movers (if you’re using them) are clear on where stock and other items need to go.
