Every item has its own designated bin location, which is entered within their Elite software, so it\u2019s in the same location, every time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Brad and his team have taken an extra step to ensure inventory never gets mixed up, customizing pallets to fit only the item designated for it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"American Rentals - Staging &amp; Loading\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PjBi5OQ24-I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Streamlined Item Prep<\/h2>\n<p>Discovering that the day\u2019s deliveries aren\u2019t going to fit on the assigned truck as you\u2019re loading the truck?

By staging gear in advance, they\u2019re able to see what adjustments need to be made in their dispatching and scheduling and adjust a day or two BEFORE deliveries need to go out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It speeds up the loading and delivery process while eliminating last-minute opportunities for error.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"American Rentals - Chair Counts\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ufcvZrauIms?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Quick Inventory Counts<\/h2>\n<p>How\u2019re your times-table skills?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>By labeling the ground and maintaining consistent stack numbers, it\u2019s easy to inventory chair stock at American Rental.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Just head to the container, count the stacks, and you\u2019ve got a quick count.
