School Datebooks new MobileTrak stores more than 70,000 datebook samples

School Datebooks, Inc is a company that supplies schools from all across the nation with datebooks for their students. This volume of inventory requires a storage system able to handle the high density storage of over 70,000 datebooks. The company’s current system of lateral files and industrial shelving was both disorganized and cumbersome. To update their storage, School Datebooks turned to Datum who combined two of its products, the MobileTrak3® and the 4Post™ to create a functional and versatile storage solution.

A MobileTrak3® System was installed to house the customer sample files that School Datebooks archives in their warehouse. The new system consolidates and better organizes the large amount of samples by moving the system into the office area which allows for faster and more efficient file access. The new system frees up space for new machinery and eliminates the need to build a larger warehouse.

“Datum was very helpful in giving us multiple solutions up-front, changing the designs to our requests and installing our final solution on-time,” said Jack Fiock, Production Director, School Datebooks, Inc.

This new storage system cleaned up the School Datebooks’ warehouse, organized their inventory and made space for new equipment. Most importantly, this storage system has the ability to grow as quickly as the company’s future storage needs.

Unlike traditional shelving, the MobileTrak® eliminates the need for aisles which reduces space requirements for shelving by 50 percent

The Watertown Police Department recently completed the renovation of their new building, but their former freestanding shelving system proved to be less than adequate for keeping important files organized and protected. Datum, who worked in conjunction with SYSTEMATICS (http://www.systematics.biz), a Datum Authorized Reseller, helped to create a customized storage solution with safety, convenience and security in mind.

The Watertown Police Department’s storage utilizes Datum’s MobileTrak® system that houses 4Post™ Shelving. Features include:

• A unique grout-less design that allows for the units to be easily modified to fit into an existing non-Datum track installed in the floor of the building
• Ample storage space for the police department’s evidence, archival records and current files that are accessed frequently
• A versatile storage system that can expand as needed—perfect for a growing office
• A 50 percent reduction in space requirements (as compared to traditional shelving) because of the elimination of aisles
• Integrated, programmable transponder keys so that security privileges can be assigned to allow or prevent staff from accessing certain stored materials
• A wide selection of sizes that help to create a custom solution for maximum storage capacity
• The unique ability for dual entry, allowing users to store and access materials on both sides of a single unit

With the new MobileTrak® and 4Post™ Shelving, the Watertown Police Department improved the organization of their materials and now has ample capacity with room to grow!  For more information check out the complete Profile of Success.
