How to Organize Your Backroom or Offsite Storage

Best practices for organizing your bins so they're easy to find, pull, and restock.

The recommended approach

1. 1

   Group bins by number

   Sort bins sequentially by bin number — keep bins 0–99 together, 100–199 together, and so on. This makes it much harder for a bin to get misplaced or lost.

2. 2

   Dedicate a section of storage to each number range

   Assign each area of your backroom or storage unit to a specific range of bin numbers. Anyone on the team will know exactly where to look when pulling or putting away a bin.

   
3. 3

   Keep the numbering consistent across locations

   If your store uses multiple storage spaces — a backroom and an offsite unit — maintain the same numbering convention in each. Consistent organization speeds up bin pulls and restocking across your whole operation.
