Focus On Furniture set standards of excellence in providing customers with the best style, quality, functionality and value available for household furniture and bedding.
With over 16 retail stores and growing, Focus On Furniture required a solution to improve storage capacity and efficiency for their new warehouse and distribution centre in Hallam – built specifically to better service Focus On Furniture stores around Victoria. In addition, they needed a partner who could maximise their bulk stock storage while assisting in their transition from another storage site.
The main challenge being, to utilise space with their existing selective racking while vacating their previous storage site.
After an extensive site review, Bowen Storage designed and installed a storage system to improve warehouse capacity, efficiency, safety and productivity. Double Deep racking provided over 9,700 pallet spaces to maximise storage capacity and density, whilst allowing access to all pallets easily and efficiently. To improve warehouse safety and separate pedestrian and forklift traffic, a heavy-duty industrial handrail was installed. Rack protection guards were also installed to prevent accidental damage from forklifts.
Bowen Storage worked directly with Focus On Furniture to deliver quality, cost-effective, robust storage solutions on budget and well ahead of time. Our solutions focus and partnership approach enabled the project’s early completion, two weeks ahead of schedule. Our storage system solution improved storage space and capacity, provided quick and easy access to stored products and improved operational efficiencies - leading to better productivity and profitability. This solution delivered better response times from warehouse to stores, improving the customer service experience.
