Every piece in your warehouse needs an address.
Hi y’all,
Earlier this month, Render Events hosted our Goodshuffle warehouse tour in Dallas. Owner Cameron Petty and her team had moved into the building the week before. As Cameron put it: “If you could start over, what would you do differently? We are literally getting that opportunity here.”
You don’t need a new building to copy how her team runs the warehouse in Goodshuffle Pro.
Here’s Cameron’s full walkthrough, from the showroom to the custom paint shop:
Three things worth stealing:
Give every piece an address. Render’s racks run by letter and shelves by number, counting up from the floor. Each item’s rack and shelf live in its attributes in Goodshuffle Pro, next to its size and seat depth. Put that on every item, and even a crew member you hired through Instawork can find a stage facade on I-2. Render also puts a small QR code on the back right leg of its furniture, which the team scans during inventory counts.
Nothing goes back on a shelf until someone checks it. Everything off a truck lands in the returns zone first. Anything stained or broken goes on set aside from the event’s Fulfillment tab, so it can’t slip onto the next truck. If you work alone, the set aside is your repair list, so you can fix the damage before it reaches a client.
Track what sits outside your main line. Render also owns two floral companies, and Cameron tracks their rental pieces, like candles, in Goodshuffle Pro “so that we can actually track the product. We know when it’s going out, when it went out last, who broke it.” If part of your stock lives in another tool, the same move works for you.
So what in your warehouse still lives only in someone’s head?
See you next Monday,
