Businesses within the retail industry need a reliable and robust warehouse management system to do what they do best. Warehouse automation plays a key role in streamlining the processes and enhancing the service they provide to their own customers, and the retail conveyor sits at the very centre of operations.

As a leading provider of conveyor belts for retail businesses, we don’t provide a one-size-fits-all solution. Our retail conveyors are sourced from the world’s best known, most reliable brands whilst the bespoke solutions we manufacture in-house deliver the state-of-the-art conveyor units companies need to boost their use of space, increase efficiency and guarantee scalability long into the future.

What is a retail conveyor system?

The conveyor system uses a series of pulleys and belts or rollers to transport goods smoothly and safely from one part of the retail warehouse to another. Retail conveyors can be used to create the ultimate material handling system or integrated into existing operations to unlock a number of advantages for the company, its workforce and wider customer base. A retail conveyor system offers a cost effective, robust and flexible solution that serves a wide range of businesses within this particular sector. Department stores, textile retailers and supermarkets are just some of the business types served by conveyor belts for retail, and they’re reaping the rewards of reduced manual movements.

Why do you need a conveyor system for retail?

The retail conveyor has been boosting productivity, reliability and efficiency for as long as we can remember on the warehouse floor. With the latest conveyor belts for retail offering improved safety features and vertical as well as horizontal use of space, conveyor systems are helping retail businesses meet fulfilment expectations with ease, even as demand from online customers continues to grow at a rapid pace.

In addition to benefiting the end-customer with faster delivery times and improved product quality, retail conveyors are enhancing the wellbeing of the workers that are integral to any warehouse management system. With fewer manual movements made, production line speeds can be increased without putting a burden on existing workers or needing to foot the bill for additional labour. Order pickers can spend less time travelling across the factory floor, which means their talents can be used elsewhere to boost business.

The benefits of a retail conveyor system

Retail conveyors can be used at every stage of fulfilment, from order picking and packing to vehicle loading and unloading to boost efficiency on and beyond the production line. Our conveyor systems help the retail businesses we serve harness a long list of benefits, including but not limited to:

Increased efficiency in truck unloading

Our vehicle loading and unloading conveyors use power or gravity to load and unload vehicles and containers. The use of these conveyor belts for retail kick-starts or completes the warehouse management system to ensure a smarter, more seamless journey for every item handled and processed by your retail facility.

Time savings

With increased efficiency during loading and unloading, and further retail conveyor use for order picking and packing, your retail store or distribution centre can make time and money savings from start to finish. Items can be transported to or from your facility’s backroom in a timely manner as well as sorted with minimal personnel, forklift truck and other manual handling equipment (MHE) movements to ensure the cost-effectiveness and efficiency both retailers and consumers have come to expect.

Lower labour costs

The savings don’t end there. Retail warehouses using conveyors need less staff thanks to these automated systems, which means lower labour costs throughout the company. The employees you do require will also be subjected to less manual movements, such as lifting, to guarantee a better, safer and more satisfying work environment.

Increased overall efficiency in backroom operations

The right retail conveyor has the potential to increase the efficiency of your entire backroom operation. Conveyor belts for retail offer so much more than an easier way to handle and move goods and materials. Retail conveyors cut labour cuts, reduce human error, lower the risk of workplace injuries, and free up space within your warehouse so the business can continue to grow from strength to strength, all of which contribute to a more operational efficient and productive operation. Seamless and ultra-flexible retail conveyors are an investment well worth making, whether you’re looking to streamline just one process, such as item sortation, or overhaul your entire backroom operations.
