4 Storage Needs You Didn't Even Know You Had

Local Business Self Storage Tips

Businesses in Kelowna have a wide variety of self-storage needs.

Storage space is in high demand among local business owners in the Okanagan. In fact, many business owners aren't even aware that they have a storage problem in the first place. Whether coworkers are tripping over cardboard boxes full of documents ready to be filed or conference rooms are being taken over by surplus furniture, there are a lot of reasons why a storage unit can offer big benefits to many local businesses.

 

Here are just a few of the ways local businesses are utilizing Kelowna self-storage facilities:

 

1. Document and File Storage

Even though many local businesses are shifting into a paperless way of operating, there are still paper documents and files that need to be kept, and therefore, stored. A storage facility can:

  • Arrange file pick up and delivery
  • Provide storage materials for documents and files
  • Provide shelving services
  • Supply convenient document tracking services
  • Implement sign-in/sign-out control and tracking

When businesses take advantage of this service, it's obvious just by looking at their office. There's no need for unsightly filing cabinets and stock rooms jam-packed with overflowing file storage boxes. Plus, employees are able to work more efficiently without having to spend their time on filing.

 

2. Provide Access to Loading Docks and Forklifts

If a lot of the equipment you plan on storing requires the use of a forklift or loading dock, find a facility that offers these services. A facility with these services and a licensed forklift operator can take away the burden of making arrangements to move heavy items and ensure the items are tucked away safely in your unit until you need access to them again.

 

3. Warehouse Solutions

If your storage needs have evolved into a warehouse-sized requirement, there are facilities in Kelowna that can resolve this issue. They'll not only provide material handling equipment, loading docks, and drive-through entrances, they'll also be able to provide a space large enough for your inventory. Some facilities can even facilitate shipping and deliveries on your behalf.

 

4. Portable Storage Solutions

If your storage needs are somewhat small, some storage facilities in Kelowna can simply bring the storage to you. A MIBOX® storage container can be delivered to your address whenever you need it. From there, you can load it at your own convenience. Once it's full, either leave it on your property or have it picked up and stored in a climate-controlled warehouse. It's the perfect solution when you need just a little more storage space.
