Concern: Inadequate Backroom Storage for Stores Nationwide
A home goods retailer needed to improve their backroom storage capabilities across their nationwide network of stores. They require designs tailored to each location so that the shelving system fits each unique layout.
The company stores seasonal inventory of home décor and accessories. Because of this rotating inventory, they require a backroom storage solution that can accommodate stock with a wide array of shapes and dimensions.
The company was purchasing standard rivet shelving in bulk and putting it into the stores’ backrooms without considering the unique characteristics of each room and products being stored. Consequently, they were experiencing the following issues:
- They were not able to fully utilize the space available in their backroom due to standard shelving units not filling certain areas, creating unused space.
- They had unused space between shelf levels due to not tailoring them to their various sized products.

The company hired REB Storage Systems International to design and supply rivet shelving for their stores nationwide. Working with REB is beneficial for the company because REB can handle every aspect of all projects, giving the customer the convenience of utilizing one company for all materials, freight management, and labor as needed.
