2.3 Problem and Solutions

1. Limited Storage Space –Limited storage space is a common problem in cold storage warehouses, resulting in additional costs for businesses, including renting additional warehouse space or investing in more expensive storage solutions. It also increases the risk of product spoilage, especially if products are not stored properly or if they are not used in a timely manner. Moreover, limited storage space leads to longer search times for products and slower order fulfilment times.

Solution–The Company will be leveraging high-density storage systems to maximize storage capacity and efficiency in cold storage warehouses by reducing the number of aisles required for handling equipment and optimizing space usage. Also, the company's cold storage solutions will be automated, offering benefits such as agility, increased storage capacity, high throughput, and efficient management of goods.

2. Need for Product Traceability – Cold chain warehouses are an essential component in ensuring that temperature-sensitive products are handled and stored with the necessary care. But, cold storage and freezer warehouses often have complex supply chains, making it difficult to track products and maintain visibility at all stages. As consumers have grown accustomed to fast delivery and high-quality products, these facilities need to be much more efficient in providing a steady supply of cold products in a timely and convenient manner.

Solution –As perishable and fresh goods are typically stored in temperature-controlled warehouses, the company will make it important to have a continuous inventory system in place by using warehouse management software. The software will track products from the moment they enter the warehouse until they are dispatched, providing a simple and efficient way to manage inventory. The warehouse management system (WMS) will also use product characteristics and demand levels to assign a location for each item, allowing the program to have real-time knowledge of the exact location of goods.
