Transforming Workspaces with Cutting-Edge Space Saver Units

The Challenge: Limited Storage and Inefficient Organization

Flitetec Limited, a leading manufacturer and supplier of aircraft interior products with a base in Amersham, UK, was facing a challenge common to many growing businesses: limited storage space and inefficient organisation of small parts. As an aviation company, precise stock management and quick access to components were crucial to their operations. Previously, Flitetec had been using a standard shelving system where small items were stored in plastic boxes, which resulted in underutilised space and made stock management cumbersome.

In search of a solution to optimise their storage, the team at Flitetec visited the Southern Manufacturing Show, where they discovered Polstore Storage Systems. The vertical storage drawers displayed at Polstore’s stand immediately caught their attention as a possible answer to their challenges.

Our Approach: Tailored Storage Solutions for Enhanced Efficiency

Polstore Storage Systems has a reputation for creating tailored storage solutions across various sectors, including the military, engineering, and aviation industries. Their commitment to efficiency and accessibility, combined with a client-focused approach, ensures that every solution is designed to meet the unique needs of each business.

At Flitetec, Polstore identified an opportunity to not only maximise space but also streamline operations. By utilising vertical storage units, they offered a solution that would significantly reduce floor space while enhancing organisation and stock visibility. These units help improve efficiency, reduce waste, lower costs, and even contribute to a more organised and motivated workplace.

The Vertical Space Saver Solution

The Vertical Space Saver was the ideal choice for Flitetec. Unlike traditional shelving systems, Polstore’s vertical solution is designed to optimise vertical space, resulting in a reduction of wall space by almost 4 metres. Its higher density capacity allows for more efficient storage of small parts and ensures that every item is easily accessible. This system provides:

1. Quick retrieval for users
2. Clear identification of product locations
3. Real-time visibility of stock levels, helping to reduce stock-outs
4. A more organised and efficient workspace

The storage units normally come with 720 compartments as a standard configuration, but in this case, Polstore customised a Unibox configuration to better suit Flitetec’s specific requirements.

The Outcome: Improved Storage and Streamlined Operations

The new storage system has made a significant impact on Flitetec’s operations. According to Mark, Flitetec’s General Manager, the vertical space saver units have dramatically improved the company’s storage capabilities, creating more room for product storage while enhancing overall accessibility. With a more organised storage system, Flitetec has been able to streamline their stock management, reducing the time spent searching for parts and improving the overall workflow.
