As an online webshop, you want to ensure that you can quickly and efficiently locate the ordered vinyl records in your warehouse. It is therefore important to provide each record with a unique location number, so that you can easily find it when a customer places an order.

A handy way to do this is by attaching a post-it with a location number to the top left corner of the record sleeve. You give the record a number and assign a letter to the cabinet where it is located. For example, if a record is located in cabinet A and has the number 3592, then the location number would be A3592.

By using this method, employees can easily find the vinyl records they need, even if there are thousands or hundreds of thousands of records stored. It not only saves time and effort, but also ensures that customers receive their orders quickly and accurately.

In short, by providing each record in your warehouse with a unique location number using post-its, you can ensure that your online webshop operates more efficiently and keeps customers satisfied.
