After facing severe disruptions in the supply chain linked to border closures, companies quickly got into working order. The introduction of security regulations, ranging from protective measures to lockdown in certain countries, has naturally boosted online sales. To accommodate this growth in e-commerce, online trading firms must rethink their logistics.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">While occasional peaks in activity hold no secrets for most of the sector\u2019s key players, particularly with rush periods and promotions (Black Friday, Christmas, Sales, etc.), there is now the question of an increase in activity which is both continuous and exponential. It\u2019s the reason why all companies with an e-commerce activity must adapt their organisation, particularly in their warehouse. To cope with these changes, it is essential to be able to rely on capital goods that combine efficiency, ease of use, quality and cost control. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manutan.co.uk\/en\/key\/brand\/manutan#productBeginIndex:0&amp;orderBy:7&amp;\">Manutan brand products<\/a> meet these needs. These products are not only guaranteed for up to 10 years* but are also on average 15% cheaper than other major brands. It is now possible to reorganise your warehouse, with complete peace of mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Increase storage capacities<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To cope with a sustainable increase in activity, it is first necessary to increase storage capacity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Depending on the features of the stock to be stored (type, weight, quantity, etc.), there is a shelving model suitable for each need:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manutan.co.uk\/en\/key\/light-duty-shelving#productBeginIndex:0&amp;orderBy:7&amp;\">Light shelving<\/a> for loads under 250 kilograms.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manutan.co.uk\/en\/key\/shelving-configurator#medium-duty\">Medium-heavy shelving<\/a> for loads weighing between 250 and 500 kilograms.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manutan.co.uk\/en\/key\/shelving-configurator#heavy-duty\">Heavy shelving<\/a> for loads over 500 kilograms.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Specific shelving for special products such as tyres or retention tanks.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Secondly, all you have to do is\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">create your custom-made shelving using online configurators<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.
