Shelf and rack arrangement in Tokyo: re-organise goods without stopping your day
When the layout no longer matches how goods move, we re-arrange the goods on your existing shelves and racks by hand, for a fixed price.
Start with a map, not a mop
A re-arrangement goes wrong when the team starts moving before everyone knows where things are going. We ask for a layout in whatever form you have: a sketch, a spreadsheet of locations, a photo with notes, or simply the rule, such as fastest sellers at waist height by the packing table. If you prefer, we propose the layout from photos and you approve it before the first item moves.
The order of work that avoids chaos
Moving a shelf into itself is the tricky part. The team first clears a buffer area and empties one section to give a free space, then moves goods into it from the next section, and so on across the run. At every moment the goods are somewhere identified, and nothing is stacked on the floor overnight unless you have agreed a holding area.
Labels follow the goods
New positions mean new shelf labels. We update the shelf-edge labels, location codes and carton labels to match as we go, using your code format if you have one, so that the label and the content never disagree. Old labels are removed rather than overwritten, because a half-covered old label sends someone to the wrong shelf.
A task under contract, directed by our supervisor
You specify the layout, the quantity of goods involved and the deadline. Our supervisor directs the team, decides who clears and who places, and is responsible for the finished result. Your people carry on with their own work and do not need to direct ours. The fixed price is confirmed by message before work starts, so it is a decision you make once, ahead of time.
What we do not do on racking
We assemble nothing and adjust no beams, we do not operate forklifts or order pickers, and we do not lift pallets or loads that need a machine. We work with light cartons and goods that one person can place safely, at heights reachable from the floor or from a stable stepstool. For upper levels needing machinery, we tell you and leave those levels for your own authorised people.
Keeping your business running
Your order picking or shop trading does not pause for us. We therefore plan zone by zone and finish each zone, with labels, before starting the next, so a picker or customer can always find what they need. Noisy or crowded stretches are scheduled with you. Requests are accepted at any hour, and an early, late or weekend start can be agreed by message within the agreed scope.
Retail shelves, stock racks and storage bays
On a shop floor, the arrangement is about sightlines and facing: products to the front, price labels visible, sets together. In a stock rack it is about retrieval: heavy low, fast to the front, like with like. In a storage bay it is about ordering by category and date. We follow your priorities for each and tell you if the physical shelf cannot do what the plan asks.
Before-and-after photos and a location list
We photograph each section before we begin and after it is finished, and, if you want it, give you a location list showing what is now where. These are useful in two ways. Your team can learn the new layout quickly, and if anyone later asks what was where, the answer exists. Photos stay with you, and they are sent after the task where useful.
How the fixed price is formed
The price is based on the number of shelf sections or bays, the rough number of items, how much label work is involved and the access, taken from your photos and plan. It is one amount for the task, confirmed by message. If the plan changes mid-way, for example you add a section, the supervisor tells you and agrees the change before going on, so there are no surprises later.
A worked example of a re-slot
Imagine a bay of twenty shelf sections where the best-selling items have crept to the far end and the heavy cartons sit at the top. The plan says fast movers to the near end at waist height, heavy cartons to the bottom, seasonal lines to the top. The team empties the near sections, brings the fast movers in, rebuilds the far sections with the slow lines, swaps labels as each section is finished and photographs the result. Nothing in this sequence needs a machine, and nothing has to stay on the floor overnight.
Areas and language
We serve Tokyo’s 23 wards, Chiba including Noda, Funabashi, Kashiwa and Yachiyo, Saitama including Kasukabe, Kanagawa, Ibaraki, Tochigi and Gunma. Outside the 23 wards we state the travel cost before you confirm. We reply within 1 hour and work in English and Japanese, so layout notes can be exchanged in either language.
Putting things right
If something was not placed or labelled as agreed and you tell us within 24 hours, we put it right at no extra cost. The task is carried out with our operations partner, Global Access Co., Ltd., and the supervisor remains your single point of contact through the task and after it.
