Stockroom organisation in Tokyo: find anything in the time it takes to walk in
We reorganise stockrooms and backrooms so each item has a place, a label and a reason to be there, as a task with a fixed price.
A room has a logic, or it has a pile
Before moving anything, we look at how the room is used. What is picked every day, what once a week, what only at the season’s turn, and what has not moved for a long time. That pattern decides the layout: fast items at hand height near the door, slow items higher and deeper. We propose the layout first, by photo or sketch, so you can adjust it before a single carton moves.
Sorting everything on the floor first
The first step is to bring everything out of the corners and into categories on the floor or on tables: same product together, same size together, damaged or opened packs separate, unknown items separate. We do not decide what is stock and what is rubbish. Anything unclear goes into a marked area for you to decide, and we continue with the rest.
Labels that people actually follow
A shelf label works only if it is readable from the doorway and says one thing. We label shelf edges and cartons with the product name or code and the quantity unit you use, in your language preference, English, Japanese or both. If you have your own label format or code system, send it and we follow it. We do not invent codes that clash with your existing ones.
Counting while we sort
Because every item passes through our hands, we can note quantities as we go and give you a simple list at the end: what is there, how many and where. This is not a formal stocktake, which has its own page, but the list is often the first accurate picture of the room that people have had. Discrepancies against your records are reported, not corrected by us. If a location is empty, blocked or unreadable, it is flagged on the list rather than skipped quietly.
How the task is defined and priced
You define the room, the categories, the date and the standard. Our supervisor runs our team and is responsible for the result, and your people do not need to direct individual members. The price is fixed for the room or the batch, quoted from your photos, the shelf count and the volume, and confirmed by message before we begin. The price attaches to the finished room.
Keeping it organised afterwards
A reorganised room drifts back if there is no habit behind it. We leave a short note on the layout logic and, if you like, a simple rule for each shelf: what goes here, what level to restock at, where returns go. If you would like a return visit to restore the order after a busy season, we agree it as a separate task with its own fixed price.
Seasonal goods and slow-moving stock
Stockrooms often hold goods that are needed for three weeks a year, such as seasonal displays, gift packaging, campaign materials and spare uniforms. Left in the main aisle they block daily work; stored out of reach they are forgotten. We place them in a clearly labelled zone with a date or season on the shelf edge and a short note on what comes out when, so the people running the room do not need to remember it all.
Damaged, opened and mixed cartons
Opened packs and mixed cartons are what make a stockroom unreliable. We separate them, check them against the label in your criteria, and either repack them into a single-product carton or park them in a marked zone for you to decide. We do not discard goods and we do not repair packaging beyond re-taping and re-boxing. A short list of what we found, with photos, is part of the report at the end.
Walking the room together
If you prefer, the supervisor can walk the finished room with you or a colleague, in person or by photo and message, and show the logic of the layout. It takes a few minutes and means the person who runs the room every day knows where things are and why. Small adjustments you ask for at that point are made within the original task if they stay within the agreed scope.
What stays out of scope
We do not handle hazardous goods, items that must be kept cold or heated, food products that need licensed handling, or regulated medicines. We do not operate forklifts, and we do not carry heavy pallets. Where your room contains such goods, we tell you and organise around them without touching them, if that is acceptable to you.
Areas and how to start

Frequently asked questions
Do you decide what to throw out?
No. Unclear or damaged items go into a marked area and you decide. We do not haul away disposals.
Can you use our own label format?
Yes. Send the format or code system and we follow it.
Will you tell us what is in the room?
We give a simple list of items, quantities and locations as we go. It is not a formal stocktake.
How quickly do we get a price?
Send photos of the room. We reply within 1 hour with a fixed price confirmed by message before work starts.
