Planning Warehouse Relocations? 6 Things You Must Do Beforehand

Are you planning to grow your business? Then you must plan warehouse relocations to grow the inventories. But moving a warehouse is different from moving a house or an office. Relocating a warehouse means you need to move all the existing inventories and tools. Hence, you need to follow certain steps before conducting the move. And we will discuss that further in the following blog post.

 

What to do before moving your warehouse to a new place?

 

Planning a move requires a lot of time and effort than you can imagine. Moving may seem simple, but it can become a daunting task at any time. Well, the following can save you headaches and time during the move:

 

1. First of all, ensure that you have researched all the applicable building codes for the new place. Make sure that the place can accommodate all your present inventories. Check the area beforehand to ensure that it is ready for the move and you can load your inventories right away.

 

.2. Second, contact a professional moving company to help you move the warehouse. Check if the team is the right one by considering their qualifications and reviews. Ask them for a realistic estimation of the time required to move all the inventories and tools to the new place.

 

3. Third, check if there is any information about ongoing order shipping during the move. If yes, assign enough people to take care of those orders. Also, inform your utility supplier, shipping trucks, and the post office to change the warehouse address. So that all the future orders and mails come to the new warehouse instead of the previous one. Besides, also change your warehouse address on your social media accounts, if you have any.

 

4. Fourth, get rid of aged inventories instead of moving them to the new warehouse. Check all your inventories and find the ones you do not need anymore. Check if any of them are still workable. If yes, then you can list them up for a garage sale or store them in a storage rental for future use.

 

5. Fifth, there will be lots of people involved in the moving process. Hence, you must allocate enough people to oversee the process from both ends. Assign some of your employees to the current warehouse, while some to the new place for a smooth relocation.

 

6. Finally, make a safe planning by doubling the time you think the entire warehouse move will take. This will save you time and energy, even if something goes wrong or not as per the plan.

 

Are you planning to move your warehouse to a new location? Instead of doing it yourself, contact a professional team for smooth warehouse relocations. Having years of experience, they will ensure a smooth move for you.
