Look around and see how successful companies function. Look into the offices of the top international companies and see how they have reduced clutter and made sure that every office just contains the essentials for an efficient working environment. Covid has meant that many people are working from home so people no longer need their own desks or offices. “Hotdesking” where one desk may be used by several people gives you back valuable space, so that you can put those spare desks in storage as you never know when you might need then again. The vast majority of companies have seen the wisdom of removing inventory from their actual premises, much of which is not needed on a daily basis, and all of which is taking upon valuable space. Everyone needs to declutter, in order to be able to work more efficiently. In almost every office there are redundant files which may be occasionally needed for reference purposes, but can be easily transferred to a storage unit, provided it is one that is temperature controlled so that those files don’t get damaged by humidity, so that space can be retrieved and used for more vital purposes.
Is it really more cost effective to put inventory into storage?
Just walk through your premises and look around you carefully. and consciously take into consideration how much space you have, how much space you actually need, and how much space is being wasted by unnecessary furniture and equipment. How much inventory is actually lying around unused? When do you actually need it? Now just take a moment or two to consider what all that clutter is actually costing you in terms of rent paid. Even if it’s as little as 10% of your rental bill, and in most places it could be more, you are throwing your money down the drain! Look around the offices and you will soon realize that putting items you are not currently using into a storage unit is an immediate saving. Storage is not expensive compared with the rent that you are paying, which is why it is one of the fastest growing sectors of the property industry. The advantage of using one of Israel’s centrally located storage units is that the items you store there are not far away, are easily accessible if you need them, and so you have the best of both worlds. Your items are readily available, and you only pay for storing them rather than rent on the space they take up.
How do you know which storage company to choose?
How important is it that you have accessibility to your items? How important is it that they are temperature controlled? How important is it that they need special packing because they are perhaps delicate or fragile? How important is it that they are professionally wrapped so that they won’t be damaged in any way? If these things are critical to you then make a couple of calls and the service that you are likely to get will be immediately apparent. Tell the storage consultant what your priorities are and if you are answered courteously (you might even find someone who speaks English!) you will immediately get a feeling of how your needs will be dealt with.

Whether your order is large or small you will get the same professional friendly service, and you know you will have peace of mind
