Refrigerated sea containers
Very problematic in running a company that deals with industrial production is its dynamic and rapid development. Sometimes it happens that our company develops quite slowly and steadily over a longer period, while at some point in a year or two, the increase in production, employment and needed storage space is so large that we are not able to meet these needs keep up. What can we do to meet these requirements without reducing customer orders.
Storage tents
Storage tents are a very good way to expand the space of our warehouse in a quick manner and provide sufficient conditions for the storage of valuable components, raw materials and the finished product, which is already intended for shipment to our customer. We can buy or rent a storage tent. There are many companies on the market that offer such tents for sale and rent. Renting is the best when we plan to expand the warehouse space in the near future. Buying a storage tent then may turn out to be unprofitable. On the other hand, buying a storage tent can be a good security if we are expanding our company, but we want to be prepared for similar surges. Buying is also profitable,when we operate in an industry where sharp increases and decreases in orders are the norm.

Refrigerated sea containers
Companies that produce, for example, food, are in a particularly difficult situation. In such a situation, a simple storage tent may not be enough. Moreover, it may not meet basic sanitary requirements, including the temperature necessary to keep it low, even despite our best intentions. In such a situation, unfortunately, we bear large losses related to not using increased orders from customers. Such losses can be doubly painful. First of all, our client will not pay us for increased orders because we do not undertake them. It is a material loss in the present time. In the long run, however, our client may look for a client who will complete the entire order for him, because he will not be satisfied with our production capabilities. It is especially dangerousbecause instead of attracting new customers, we lose old ones.
Refrigerated sea containers are containers used for the transport of goods by sea. As the name suggests, they are designed to transport goods in specific conditions (low temperature). Refrigerated sea containers can also be used for other purposes. We can simply place such a container on the square next to our target cold store. The refrigerated sea container is equipped with a refrigeration system that ensures sufficiently low temperature, thanks to which we can quickly increase the area of the cold store. Refrigerated sea containers allow us to increase our warehouse space by sixty-four cubic meters with the use of one container. This is, of course, a lot, and taking into account that we can buy or rent a few or even a dozen such containers,it is a form beneficial for us and extremely flexible. Many companies use refrigerated sea containers as their target cold storage. First of all, because if orders fall, you can leave such a container for a few months to the company from which you rent it, in order to rent it again in case of an increase in orders. Finally, we can disconnect the container from the power supply. Thanks to this, we can efficiently modify the amount of cooling space, each time by 64 m3, thanks to which we also reduce the costs associated with maintaining a low temperature in unused space. This is the case with one large cold room.
External warehouses
There are many technology parks in Poland, where specialized companies build large warehouse halls and then rent such space. This is very beneficial if, for example, our company is getting ready to move to a new headquarters, but this new headquarters is not ready yet. However, orders do flow and we must have the conditions created to meet them. Renting warehouse space from such a company can be a solution to our pain, related to the lack of space for production, storage of materials and shipments. It is important to emphasize that such warehouses offer very high-quality infrastructure and are delivered to us in very good condition.
As it turns out, a rapidly growing company has many possibilities to deal with logistics bottlenecks. To do this, however, we must be open to innovative solutions and flexible in terms of costs and operation, certain means of storing materials, raw materials and the finished product.
