Our New VNA Truck Has Arrived – Warehouse Efficiency Just Got a Boost!
By Jade Dawes
Exciting times here at Salt of the Earth! As part of our ongoing mission to enhance efficiency and keep our natural deodorants flowing smoothly from our warehouse to your front door, we’ve just welcomed a brand-new member to our team – a VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) truck!
What’s a VNA Truck, and Why Are We So Excited?
If you’re wondering what a VNA truck is, let us paint a picture for you. Imagine a sleek, state-of-the-art piece of equipment designed to glide gracefully down the narrow aisles of our warehouse, expertly picking and placing products with pinpoint precision. Sounds like a game-changer, right? That's because it is!
This VNA truck isn’t just any ordinary forklift. It comes with a special feature – wires built directly into our warehouse floor and sensors that allow the truck to lock onto these wires, guiding it safely and securely through the narrowest of aisles. Think of it as having its very own GPS system, but for a warehouse!
Why is This Such a Big Deal?
- Maximising Space: Our warehouse isn’t just about size – it’s about smart storage. With narrower aisles, we can fit in more racks, and more racks mean more room for your favourite Salt of the Earth products! The VNA truck is specially designed to manoeuvre in these tighter spaces, allowing us to maximise every inch of our warehouse.
- Enhanced Safety: Safety is always our top priority. The wire guidance system ensures that the truck stays on track, reducing the risk of accidents or collisions. This means a safer environment for our team and less risk of damage to your favourite products.
- Improved Efficiency: With the truck’s smart navigation system, our warehouse team can pick and pack orders with greater speed and precision. This means we can get your orders out the door and on their way to you faster than ever before!
What’s Next for Salt of the Earth?
With our VNA truck now in operation, we’re ready to take our warehouse efficiency to the next level. Our team is already hard at work, putting the truck through its paces and fine-tuning our processes to ensure that every order is handled with care and speed.
