Warehouse per click

A fully equipped warehouse in just a few steps

Optimize, adapt or expand your own warehouse with just a few clicks from your PC? Sounds simple - and it is. "Whether heavy-duty shelving, lifting and transport equipment or office furniture - companies benefit from a clear and diverse online store where the right equipment is available for warehouses and companies of any size and industry," explains Jürgen Effner, Managing Director of TOPREGAL GmbH, and continues: "With our intelligent and simple planning solutions, companies put together their warehouse easily on the computer." How it works and what the advantage for companies is, reveals the expert for warehouse equipment.

A perfect fit thanks to the online configurator

When setting up a new warehouse, expanding an existing one or moving to a new one, it is necessary to plan the storage space precisely. Especially with regard to the type, size and load capacity of the shelves, it is important to prepare as precisely as possible so that the corresponding tools and goods are stored safely, but also in a space-saving manner. "In the meantime, numerous possible combinations of properties exist for the various shelves. In order to provide a clear overview of the many variations, we have therefore developed easy-to-use configurators and filters with which a huge selection of possible combinations for the various types of shelving can be put together in our online store," explains Jürgen Effner. For example, in the case of pallet racks, interested parties can specify aspects such as the number, width, depth and height of the racks, the number of levels of the crossbars and the material of the rack support, and determine whether the design should be single or double-sided. "Our intelligent configurator shows at the push of a button what the maximum load will be for a given shelf depth. It also calculates the possible number of Euro pallets and displays all details and technical data in the associated planning sketch," Effner continues. Once planning is complete, the individually planned shelving system can be saved and sent as a link thanks to the practical sharing function.

Short delivery times for Germany and all of Europe

To ensure that companies receive their ordered shelving, components and equipment as quickly as possible, TOPREGAL relies on a well-planned distribution of locations and efficient logistics. "In addition to our main site in Filderstadt and a large warehouse in Wesel in NRW, we also stock our products in Newport, Gwent in the UK," explains Effner. In August 2022, the company will start operating another facility in Pasewalk, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. In the future, this will cover fast delivery to northern and eastern Germany as well as to northern and eastern Europe. "Our greatest concern is to provide our customers with their goods in the shortest possible time. Our strategic distribution and efficient planning processes enable us to hand over purchases to carriers within 24 hours. As a result - and by using our own fleet of trucks including drivers - we realize delivery to the customer within one to three days," Effner is pleased to report.

Green industry processes for greater sustainability

Due to the different locations, the warehouse experts are not only able to shorten their delivery times, but also the delivery routes massively, thus reducing CO2 emissions. Purchasing goods online eliminates travel distances for customers, although self-collection from the warehouse is also possible. "We deliberately act according to the principle 'Green Mindset - Green Production'. Our sustainability measures include, among other things, only making arrangements with customers, dealers or contractual partners by telephone or video call in order to minimize emissions. In this way, we were already working completely remotely before the pandemic - a cost saving that also benefits our customers," explains Effner and adds: "In our warehouses, we only use electrically powered forklifts, low-floor vehicles and cleaning machines. This protects the environment and at the same time protects our employees." TOPREGAL also offers this benefit to its customers: a large proportion of the vehicles and equipment it sells are also electrically or manually operated - the company does not sell products with combustion engines. Sustainability is a particular focus at the new location in Pasewalk, for example in the vehicle fleet. "Here, the purely electrically powered industrial trucks are supplied by solar power. This happens during the lunch break or overnight, for example. A solar power buffer storage system and a software control system developed individually for the company ensure that the site is powered at all times by solar power generated in-house. For this purpose, the new building is equipped with an intelligent photovoltaic system," Jürgen Effner concludes.
