Running an eCommerce bizinensi requires you to know a lot of things. The bad thing is that most people cannot tell you because they do not know it themselves or are in competition with you and are not going to tell you anyway. They may tell you if you asked them but that would require you to know that you should ask. A lot of problems that you may or may not realize exist that you need to know exist. If you do not figure it out then it might have dire consequences on your business in the future.

What is one of those things? One of them is okutereka ebintu mu makolero. It is not something that new business owners think of when they open their bizinensi. Why? Okutereka is storage. You buy a shelving kit and you are done with it. It might work for some time in your bizinensi but you will either become so big that this will not work or you will close.

Okuteeka ku bushalofu is widely looked at as the answer but it rarely is the answer. It is too small to handle most jobs. The next place people look is at the larger okuteeka ku bushalofu at Home Depot or Lowes. The truth is that you will grow out of that too if you do well. Of course, that is always the aim. What you need to know is that you are better off searching for okutereka ebintu mu makolero under its proper name. The proper name is a pallet rack.

There are several different types of pallet racks available. However, the one you will, most likely, need to start with is a selective rack.  A selective rack is a rack that is most like the storage you have in your home. It is like shelving in your own home. You choose how things go onto the shelves and how they come out afterwards. It is the reason that it is called selective rack. You choose.

You may be wondering and thinking that should be how all storage works. The truth is that not all shelving works like that because of the different applications and bizinensi types around the world. There are okutereka systems that follow first in – first out rules. There are ones designed to maximize space, there are ones that are designed to load the next package or product immediately to the front after one is pulled, and there are ones that use robots to do everything.

The best thing to do is to start looking at pallet rack and searching for it. Remember to ask your local government if they have rules an regulations relating to using pallet racks. Most communities have them. You want to say within those amateeka n’ebiragiro but that is a different discussion altogether for a future post.
