From inventory management to delivery matters, there are many different tasks to handle when operating a business. As such, without the right storage space, several issues like inventory loss or late deliveries may occur, and as a result, end up negatively impacting the bottom line.
Hence, it’s important to find out which is the ideal space for both a place to process business activities comfortably and enjoy extra storage. A unit too small or too large will only lead to insufficient space for managing tasks effectively or wastage of business expenses which can be used for future growth.
Read on for the following tips on how you should decide on the best storage unit for your business.
Pick a convenient location
Whether it’s to ensure the convenience of employees and customers or to secure a higher footfall, having an accessible location can do plenty for your business. As such, it’s important to consider if there’s access to public transport nearby and expressway routes available for those coming down via personal transport. In doing so, this will provide a better experience to both staff and potential prospects.
When looking for a storage unit, it’s even more advantageous for your business when you secure one with standard facilities included. At Work+Store, we offer the cheapest self-storages and storing and processing units, whereby certain spaces come with air conditioning, a powerpoint, and lighting facilities. We’re also able to provide units in multiple locations including Pasir Panjang, Bukit Merah, Aljunied, 72 Eunos, 100 Eunos, Ang Mo Kio, Tampines, Kallang, and Bartley.

Ensure the unit comes with security
To ensure the safety of your goods, employees, and other important items within the space – it’s crucial to check if the storage unit offers security features, such as a CCTV system. Likewise, having an access control system in place is another key factor in ensuring that only you and authorised staff are allowed to enter the unit.
Work+Store provides secured self storages and storing and processing units with your safety in mind as there are 24/7 camera surveillance and accessibility in the units. Moreover, we also have flexible service terms, allowing business owners to expand and downsize their current space whenever they want to by converting to any one of our products and services within our building, or even our parent organisation, LHN Group, such as the choice of getting a commercial unit, vending machine spot, and so forth.
Declutter and determine your items on hand
Sort out your items based on their level of importance before bringing them into the storage unit – this will help save up a lot of space. For example, certain files can be converted into documents online and stored on your computer instead. Meanwhile, other essentials like inventory and furniture which have to be brought in should be considered while selecting the appropriate self-storage. After you’ve determined which items are necessary, you’ll have a clearer idea of the storage unit size you need.
We offer a range of unit sizes, whereby self storages vary from 6 sqft and goes up till 730 sqft, and storing and processing units range from 88 sqft onwards. Work+Store also offers the cheapest self storages spaces and storing and processing units, as certain businesses that are eligible for our Zero Deposit Guarantee programme will be able to keep the deposit amount instead. Additionally, our storing and processing spaces can help ease logistics processes and boost the efficiency of goods procurement, so that your business is able to offer better customer service.
Once you’ve chosen the right storage unit, the next step to take is to put your entire focus on improving day-to-day operations or your products. This way, you can grow your business and earn greater profits over time.
As important as securing the right self-storage unit can be, so is the welfare of employees and customers. Aside from ensuring tight security and accessibility, monitoring the COVID-19 situation by staying updated on existing news and putting precautionary measures into practice are just as essential in maintaining a safe and healthy environment. Whether it’s always having a thermometer on hand at all times to monitor employees’ temperature or getting more sanitisers, actions like these matter in combatting the pandemic.
