The Ultimate Guide to Plan a Warehouse Move

Moving is quite a task, whether you are moving a house or a warehouse. However, moving a warehouse is monumental and chaotic. From placing things in their exact places to making checklists, the complexities are much more than you can think of. To reduce the inconvenience, we have jotted down a few things to assist in a smooth and hassle-free transition to a place.

1-      Organizing your Inventory

The foremost thing is to organize your inventory. You can categorize it by placing different items according to their usage, expiry date, space taking, vulnerability, etc. This way, you can get rid of damaged or unusable items that are dead weight. Keeping such items will take up additional space and increase your moving costs.

2-      Develop a Transition Plan

Business doesn’t stop. Not even to mourn a departed soul. So, you will most likely be juggling two places, the new one and the place you are moving out from, to manage the operations. So, a transition plan will be the need of the hour for you. The plan must

  • Be communicated to all employees
  • Define a role for everyone to play during the move
  • Define how much workforce is needed to ensure a smooth transition
  • Eliminate dead inventory instead of moving it to a new place
  • Define the number of days and budget to move

3-      Wearhouse Space Planning

Space is critical when it comes to arranging inventory in a warehouse. To ensure proper space for all inventory, you must design a layout first. It will greatly help reduce time waste and streamline operations. You should assign space based on the products you are storing to ensure their durability. You must have an idea of how typically you hold different items at different times to ensure that you can meet additional storage during peak times.

4-      Planning Transportation

Transportation is the last step from the previous warehouse and the first step in the new warehouse. Ensuring a cost-effective and reliable transportation partner is crucial for an effective warehouse moving plan. Determine your moving method, decide the route, time, and sensitivity of inventory, and discuss it with the delivery partner.
