As your business grows and expands, so does your need for storage. With more employees and more customers, comes more records to maintain, more assets to make space for, and just a lot more of everything. While filing cabinets and cardboard boxes might be a convenient short-term solution, as a growing business, you must be smart and responsible about your storage.
Enter, Commercial Storage. Commercial Storage services are designed to meet the unique storage needs of your business - and can help you save time, money, and a lot of stress in the long run. But selecting a commercial storage company is not a decision to take lightly, as this is a partnership that can directly impact your business.
So what should you look for when choosing a commercial storage company? Here we go.
Start with Storage Capacity and Convenience
What do you need to store? Records? Inventory? Office Assets? How long do you need to store them? Do these items need to be stored in special conditions? These are some important questions you need to ask yourself before you start looking for a commercial storage company.
Once you have a clear understanding of your commercial storage needs, start evaluating the storage capacity of your storage provider. Do they have enough space to offer you to meet your needs? Do they offer specialized climate-controlled storage spaces? Will you get support to move your items back and forth? How easy is it to load and unload?
When you partner with Space Centre Storage, capacity and convenience are how we add value to your business. Take your pick of drive-up heated units or outside access and enjoy the convenience of forklift services with licensed operators. We are the only storage facility in the Okanagan to offer storage with drive-through covered access, while also offering shipping and receiving services, pallets and pallet racks as well as a full range of moving and packing supplies. Everything you need for a hassle-free commercial storage experience can be found at Space Centre Storage.
Location, location, location
Your commercial storage location needs to be easily accessible, and close to your office, especially if you need to access it frequently. Choosing a storage unit that is close by can save you a lot of time and money.
Nothing is more important than Security
How secure is your commercial storage space? Does it offer security? Have they factored in safety from the elements to ensure that water/moisture or humidity won't damage your items? Take a good hard look at all the security and safety measures in place to make sure that everything you store is safe, and that you are happy with them.
Space Centre Storage has factored in the safety and security of the items you store, with security patrol and video monitoring of gated areas, a sloped threshold to ensure water does not enter the unit, storage lighting, exterior concrete walls, and steel interior storage unit walls. Depending on the nature of what you store, we will recommend the best storage unit for you - climate controlled or basic. With our 24-hour outside access units, you can access your items any time, while you rest assured that everything you store with us is safe, secure, and dry.
Capacity & convenience, location, and the security of your commercial storage unit are key factors that play a significant role in giving you a stress-free commercial storage experience. Not taking the time to evaluate these factors can result in damages, extra expenses, and a lot of inconveniences to your business.
