Specifications for NJSEA Applicants

For those of you applying for a permit in the state of New Jersey, here is the process of permit facilitation with the NJSEA:

  1. Once the entire package has been put together and all of the paperwork has been filled out, we go to the town where you plan to build to get a stamp that shows they have received the package.
  2. The town then gives us the package back and we need to bring it to the NJSEA. The NJSEA does the zoning and the building plan review. We have to include a check for the NJSEA, which ultimately pays for the plan review.
  3. Once they complete and approve their review, they call us back in to pick up the plans. We then take the plans back to the town. The town then calculates the actual permit fee. Once we pay for and pick up the permit, we can begin the work.
  4. Once we complete the work, we have to call the town in for an inspection. When we pass the town inspection, we then have to call the NJSEA in for their inspection. Upon approval from the NJSEA we are complete and get the final CO.

As you can see, the permit application process has many steps and can be difficult to execute on your own. ABCO Systems can help with permit facilitation in addition to your warehousing and distribution center needs. Give us a call today at (201) 507-0999 or get a quote online now!

Warehouse Design: How to Make Your Warehouse as Organized as Possible

Effective warehouse design is essential for any business that desires efficiency with shipping products quickly to customers. While a certain amount of design depends on business preferences, here are a few easy ways to maximize the organization of any warehouse.

Keep Aisles Clear and Wide

It’s difficult to find the products a customer wants when everything is cluttered. It’s even more problematic when employees can’t navigate the warehouse floor without running into boxes. Keep aisles clear and wide for employees to quickly move through and for safer operation of machinery such as lifts.

Clearly Label Boxes

Time is precious when quickly fulfilling a customer order. When employees have to open boxes to check their contents, it not only wastes time, but it also creates a mess. Clearly label the boxes and place a digital picture of the contents on the outside so employees know what’s inside without opening them.

Store Like Items Together

Keep clothing together, keep toys together, keep electronics together. Storing like items together makes it easier to locate a specific product. It streamlines the picking process as well because employees know immediately where they need to go to grab the items.

Store Products Vertically

Utilize pallet racks or an industrial mezzanine system to store products vertically as opposed to horizontally. This saves space, making room for even more products. This is ideal for items that can be stacked one on top of the other. For products that cannot be stacked, such as appliances, store them one behind the other in the same area.

Implement an Effective Pick System in your Warehouse Design

The manner in which your employees locate and box items for a single shipment is the pick module. There are a variety of ways to pick products from a warehouse. Whatever method your business uses, make sure it is efficient and effective.
