Self-storage warehouses for the field service: what are the advantages?

Sales representatives have discovered self-storage rooms for themselves
Storing the things that are used daily or sporadically is one of the biggest challenges for a sales representative. Regardless of whether they sell books, tech equipment or sporting goods, home storage is not an ideal solution. Not only is this wasting storage space, it is also often very difficult to transport goods to and from the car. By renting a self-storage warehouse, the apartment of a sales representative is relieved.

While rental storage is still mainly used by private individuals, more and more business people and companies are recognizing the advantages of self-storage. They offer flexibility and easy accessibility, which is particularly important for field staff.

Companies that hire local employees are also increasingly using self-storage warehouses as handover points for their goods. Thanks to the flexibility of the self-storage providers, companies do not have to rent a large warehouse that may have long leases. You can also easily switch from a small storage room to a large room, even if it is only for 2 months, and then rent a small room again.

Of course, self-storage warehouses also offer other advantages for field workers. It should be particularly emphasized that the storage space can be shared with other field staff. Simply give the access code to the employee, then they can also go to the storage room and store or fetch things – in the spirit of the shared economy.

Renting a storage space from a self-storage provider is usually very easy and convenient. Qualified staff advise customers on the correct room size. The minimum rental period is usually one month. However, field staff usually rent a storage room for a longer period of time. There is usually no maximum rental period with a self-storage provider. As soon as a storage room has been selected, the goods can be immediately stored in the storage compartment by the field service employee. Some providers even provide a van for transport. So you can transport all things in one go to the self-storage warehouse and don’t have to drive back and forth several times.

A self-storage service that is very popular with field staff is the receipt of packages or goods that the storage room tenant can have sent directly to the warehouse. If a new delivery of goods arrives, the tenant of the storage room will be informed immediately by e-mail about the receipt of the goods. Now he no longer has to pick up the goods himself from the parcel service warehouse if he was not at home during the delivery. He can collect the items directly from the warehouse – this saves a lot of time and tedious trips back and forth to collect a package. 

Self-storage rooms – how big are they?
Self-storage providers usually offer storage rooms with an area of ​​1 to 50 m². Flexibility is a top priority in this business: you can move to a larger or smaller warehouse at any time if necessary. And thanks to daily billing, you don’t pay a cent too much if you change storage space. So you only pay for the storage space you use.

Security is guaranteed with a good self-storage provider through video surveillance, alarm system and security service. Access to the warehouse is usually by means of a code system, key or chip card. You lock the storage room itself either with a padlock or with modern app access systems, depending on the provider.

Several employees share a storage room
More and more companies are renting self-storage rooms to which several employees have access. Sharing things is a trend anyway, so why not with self-storage too? The company rents a storage room that all hired workers have access to. An employee can even deposit items in the storage room, which then a few hours or days later another employee picks up in the storage room – both at the time that suits them best. So you no longer have to stop at the motorway service station to hand over things – no, you can also use the storage room as a transhipment point.

Ideal accessibility for the field service
Self-storage warehouse locations have ideal accessibility to the warehouse with good providers. The loading zone is covered and the storage rooms are accessible at ground level. So you can unload and load the vehicle in the dry even in bad weather. In addition, trolleys are provided free of charge so that things can be transported easily and quickly to the storage room.

How much space do I need for field service?
Depending on the industry, field staff need different storage room sizes. This is exactly the specialty of the self-storage providers: you can rent a storage room with an area of ​​1 m2, or a room with an area of ​​10 m2. The rooms at professional self-storage providers are over 2.8 meters high, so the space requirement tends to be overestimated. You can also put shelves in the room to keep things tidy.

Receipt of goods for business customers in the field
Who doesn’t know it: you’re waiting for a parcel to be delivered, the delivery service isn’t there yet, and you should already be with the next customer. Here, too, a good self-storage provider offers a valuable service – the receipt of packages. So you can have your delivery delivered to the Self-Storage Center and conveniently pick up the package when it suits you best.
