Slashing Overheads: How AU and NZ 3PLs Can Handle Small, Slow-Moving SKUs Efficiently

How can third-party logistics providers manage small, slow-moving inventory efficiently without relying on traditional static shelving?

Storeganizer high-density storage system

Providers can integrate Storeganizer, which are columns of suspended, multi-row fabric pockets right inside existing standard ground-level pallet bays. Storeganizer’s setup reclaims underutilised or lost cubic space beneath the racking beams, maximising storage density and increasing storage capacity by up to 70%. By condensing thousands of small SKUs into a centralised, ground-level picking zone, businesses reduce operator travel times, boost picking efficiency by up to 30%, and completely eliminate the massive floor footprint required by sprawling rows of static shelving.

Competitive 3PL inventory management

For 3PL inventory management, it’s important to ensure efficiency, scalability, and cost-effectiveness to maintain a competitive advantage. As consumer expectations rise, 3PL providers face increasing pressure to optimise 3PL inventory management. To thrive in this dynamic environment, leveraging innovative high density storage solutions for small SKU becomes essential. Storeganizer, as a high density storage system, is designed specifically for optimising space and efficiency in warehouses, offering a unique solution tailored to the needs of 3PL inventory management. By maximising the use of available space and streamlining storage processes, Storeganizer not only improves operational efficiency but also contributes to a more sustainable and cost-effective business model.

Storeganizer: New Zealand Case Study

Storganizer recently completed a project that perfectly showcases what smart shelving can do, and the numbers speak for themselves. By combining 4 Small Storeganizer bays (for small spare parts) with 4 Large Storeganizer bays (for larger items), the Storganizer team helped this NZ customer unlock a staggering 1,952 individual pick locations all within a standard pallet racking footprint. No extra floor space was needed. No warehouse expansion was required. Just better use of what was already there.

Storeganizer offered:

• Maximised vertical space within existing bays

• Clear bin labelling for fast, accurate picking

• Separate storage for small & large spare parts

• Scalable system that grows with inventory

This is what Storeganizer was built for, transforming underutilised warehouse bays into high-density, highly-organised picking zones.
