The Challenge
GCM faced several challenges in their revamp project:
- Customised Storage Solution: The need for a tailored storage solution that could accommodate both light and heavy, bulky items in the warehouse.
- Efficient Space Utilisation: Ensuring the renovated space could fit their extensive inventory without overcrowding, thus maintaining easy access and a seamless customer experience.
- Brand Alignment: The fit-out had to match GCM’s new branding, particularly focusing on incorporating the colour black throughout the design.
- Enhanced Display: Displaying products in a neat, organised manner in the front of store to attract customers and improve their shopping experience.
The Solution
Storeplan, a provider of bespoke storage and display solutions, was engaged to design and implement a fit-out that met GCM’s unique needs. The solution encompassed:
- Cable Reel Racking: Designed to store various cable reels efficiently, ensuring they are easily accessible and well-organised.
- Conduit Racking: Custom racks to store conduits, keeping them safe and orderly.
- Pallet Racking: Heavy-duty racking for storing bulkier items in the warehouse, maximising vertical space and improving storage efficiency.
- Longspan Shelving: Versatile shelving systems for medium-sized items, providing flexibility in storage.
- Gondola Systems: Sleek and functional display units for the front of store, aligning with the black colour scheme of GCM’s rebrand and enhancing product visibility.
