In the dynamic world of business ownership, maintaining an organised and streamlined warehouse or workshop is crucial for operational excellence. An optimised space promotes productivity, ensures safety, simplifies inventory management, and contributes to the efficient innerworkings of a thriving business. System Store Solutions is a workshop and warehouse design specialist offering a variety of products and services geared towards expanding and enhancing your entrepreneurial space. Below, we take a closer look at System Store Solutions as it receives its title in the 2024 Business Elite Awards, with expert insight from Sales Director, Karim Loukil and Operations Director, Mark Price.
Founded in 1998, System Store Solutions specialises in workshop and warehouse design and storage solutions, providing a range of services that include consultancy, design, project management, and expert installation of various storage systems. A key player in the industry, System Store Solutions leverages more than 25 years of experience to deliver high quality solutions. The company combines its industry knowledge and expertise to successfully drive forward its client’s objectives, providing them with top-tier products and services designed to make their business flourish.
On a mission to deliver excellence, System Store Solutions is passionate about providing the highest level of service to its clientele. The company is a member of the Storage Equipment Manufacturer’s Association and accredited within the Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme, in addition to ensuring that all team members are trained to the standards of the Storage Equipment Manufacturer’s Association and possess Construction Skills Certification Scheme cards.
System Store Solutions works in complete alignment with local and regional regulations for health and safety, always ensuring that both its team and operations are kept up to date with the latest developments. Not only does this ensure total safety when working with clients, but it also reflects System Store Solutions’ unwavering commitment to setting new industry standards and maintaining the highest possible quality across all of its operations.
Offering its clientele a comprehensive range of services, System Store Solutions takes a turnkey, customised approach to warehouse design. The company recognises the importance role that a warehouse plays in the daily operations of a business, and so works tirelessly to deliver a project designed to meet the client’s specific needs. The company is expertly structured to ensure a smooth flow from the initial point of customer contact to the project’s completion, placing a strong emphasis on continuity of service.
Karim explains, “The process begins with one of our expert salespeople, who are the first point of contact for clients. They will arrange a visit to the client’s site to discuss storage solutions, take measurements, and ensure that we fully understand their needs and requirements. Once the stage has been set for the project, our draughtsman will create detailed designs and plans based upon the information gleaned from the visit. Following this, estimators will evaluate the cost and resources requires, ensuring that a competitive and realistic quote is provided to the client for total transparency.”
Once the project is underway, a contract manager will oversee its execution and ensure compliance with contractual terms and client expectations. The operations team is crucial to the implementation phase and will work on the ground to bring the client’s vision to life. Following the project’s successful completion, System Store Solutions’ focus shifts to providing post-completion services, such as safety inspections, to ensure long-term success and unparalleled client satisfaction.
For more than two decades, System Store Solutions has been delivering top-tier products and services that highlight its dedication to safety, quality, and efficiency. System Store Solutions has catered to countless clients over the years, but Mark cites one of the company’s recent standout projects as being outfitting the new 190,000 ft² distribution centre for AllMakes 4×4.
Possessing an extensive inventory of Land Rover parts, AllMakes 4×4 required a scalable solution to meet the growing demand. System Store Solutions installed Adjustable Pallet Racking and Pick Shelving to optimise the company’s space and improve its order fulfilment. Successfully completed within remarkably tight deadlines, the project ensured seamless integration with the company’s existing operations. David Hone, General Manager of AllMakes 4×4, commented on the completed project.
“System Store Solutions has been a valuable partner in the fit of our new headquarters and warehousing facility,” he says. “From the initial concept through to final design and installation, the assistance of the entire team has been very professional. With the added complexity of tight deadlines, System Store Solutions met each one with ease. The quality of the Adjustable Pallet Shelving and Small Binning supplied is excellent.”
This glowing review from David is just one of many for System Store Solutions, who has built a reputation for delivering only the very best to its clients. “I want to express our heartfelt gratitude for System Store Solutions’ exceptional service throughout the installation of our new pallet racking system at Freshlinc’s cutting-edge distribution centre,” reports Paul McCarthy, Operations Director of Freshlinc. “System Store Solutions’ team’s expertise in designing the layout, meticulous installation, unwavering commitment to safety, and transparent communication were truly impressive. The result has exceeded our expectations, greatly enhancing our operational efficiency.”
“Over the years, we have had the pleasure of dealing with System Store Solutions on various projects that have enhanced our warehouse’s capabilities,” writes Owen James, Purchasing Manager of Korda Tackle. “Right from the very first install of racking, we knew that there was no one else we would ever need to turn to. You get the sense that they really are there for you in all aspects of the job, from design through to installation. They have taken our warehouse from an empty shell to the efficient, professional state that it is in today. We look forward to a continued relationship with System Store Solutions and growing our warehouse along with the business.”
These remarks are a testament to System Store Solutions’ professionalism, efficacy, and its ability to deliver the most optimal, tailored solutions to meet each client’s unique needs. The company promotes client-centricity across its operations, a successful approach reflected in its remarkable rate of client satisfaction. Clients must understand that they can trust the company to provide products and services that are long-lasting and high in quality, which is evidenced by System Store Solution’s recent recognition as the Warehouse Design Company of the Year 2024 – UK.
“One valuable piece of advice I’ve received is: “Focus on building relationships, not just transactions.” In my role, this translates into prioritising long-term partnerships with clients, suppliers, and colleagues,” Mark tells us. “Implementing this involves actively listening to the needs and feedback of others, being responsive, and consistently delivering quality service. It also means going beyond business interactions to understand the people and organisations we work with, fostering trust and mutual respect. This approach has been very critical in creating a network of reliable and loyal connections, which is vital for sustained success in any business.”
The future seems to hold much success for System Store Solutions, a company poised to take 2025 by storm. Following a path of innovation and growth, System Store Solutions plans to integrate advanced technologies, including smart warehouse solutions and IoT devices, to enhance efficiency and automation in storage management. The company’s future plans also involve a strong commitment to sustainability, focusing on integrating eco-friendly materials and practices into its processes, as well as a customisation element that will deliver even more tailored and flexible solutions to its clientele.
“Further, we aim to strengthen our partnerships with industry leaders and explore new collaborations to diversify our offerings,” Mark concludes. “Investing in our team through continuous training and development will keep us at the forefront of industry trends. We are also focused on expanding our market reach and improving customer experience through digital tools, including a platform for interactive solution customisation. These efforts will solidify our position as a leader in workshop design and warehouse storage solutions, committed to quality and innovation.”
