Inspections & store surveys are an essential tool for maintaining the health and safety of any retail or warehouse location.
You can't plan a change, address a problem or know the correct quantity of materials to order unless you have a good baseline of your current store universe. A common scenario is where you become aware of an issue but are not sure how pervasive it is? This is where store surveys/inspections are invaluable, saving you time and money on unnecessary visits and/or materials and product wastage.
By conducting regular surveys / inspections, retailers see the following benefits:
Safety: Reduce the risk of accidents and injuries caused by damaged or unstable racking/fixtures.
Operability: Prevent downtime and disruptions caused by racking and fixture failures.
Product Protection: Minimize product damage and loss due to improper storage.
Cost Savings: Identify potential issues early on, preventing costly repairs and replacements.
Compliance: Ensures compliance with relevant safety standards and regulations.
Store surveys /inspections help optimize the retail environment. Thorough inspections can assess fixture condition, product placement, merchandising, safety, and maintenance needs. By conducting regular surveys, retailers can maintain layout and planogram integrity over time in all locations and reduce over-estimation wastage by planning changes based on validated store data.
Survey scope can be anything from single product to whole store. Naturally, it is best to optimize the cost efficiency of any survey.
Best practice suggests that warehouse and retail racking should be inspected periodically for damage and safety compliance. It's part of the duty of care to customers, employees and the public in general. Fasteners and anchors loosen over time and may need to be replaced or retorqued to maintain their effectiveness. In our experience, retail and warehouse operatives are reluctant to report minor damage and incidents, or are unable to assess the structural risk of any damage. In seismic zones, staying up to date with legislative compliance is critically important so as to minimize potential liability and risk.
Safety and continued operations is paramount.
