Shop moves: separating stock, furniture and materials

In the transfer of a store, goods and furniture follow different logics. Exhibitors must reach the new position before the set is completed, while the products must remain recognizable and under the control of the managers of the business.

DUDA Traslochi — Move store: separating goods, furniture and materials

Create inventories for different purposes

The logistic list of the furnishings describes dimensions, dismantling and destination. That of the goods must meet the needs of control of the activity, according to the system already used by the store. The two documents can be linked, but they don't have to be confused.

It also prepares a separate list of consumables, decorations and equipment. What is not for sale should not end up in boxes indistinguishable from products intended for exposure, especially when the discharge takes place in multiple environments.

Empty exhibitors before handling

Program when each furniture is released and who controls it is ready. shelves, glasses and accessories must be identified in relation to the structure of the membership. Do not assume that an exhibitor can travel cargo.

For custom-made or fixed furniture, send constructive photographs and details. The dismantling and reassembly must be evaluated compared to the new location; a different space distribution may require adjustments that do not coincide with the simple transfer.

Prepare the products according to their characteristics

Mark fragile, bulky categories or with special needs before agreeing to transport. Product management must be compatible with the service actually provided: not all goods can be treated as normal furniture.

The person responsible for the activity establishes identification and control of the content. External labels can use codes and destinations, leaving the details reserved in the internal inventory. The necks must be counted without having to open everything during the drain.

Establish a sequence for the new home

First they arrive and prepare the necessary structures, then proceed with the positioning of the products according to the plan of the activity. It is necessary to avoid that the boxes of the goods occupy the area in which the exhibitors must be assembled.

Identify a reception area and a set-up. If the seat is small, carefully evaluate the order of the discharges and the quantities to be carried at each stage. An ordered transfer requires operating space, even when the final store will be very compact.

Separate transfer and reopening

Define what activities are for the team and which are for the store staff: product inventory, fittings, cleaning, exposure and controls have different responsibilities. For the request DUDA sends list of furniture, product characteristics, accesses and calendar. The program will be able to consider the dependencies of the preparation without presenting the only delivery of the packages as a guarantee that the point of sale is immediately ready to open.
