This week’s Trailblazer edition focuses on a storage solution created for a military dining hall.
It is many times overlooked that a military base is like a small city— it has all the amenities needed for service members. These numerous amenities mean that military bases store much more than weapons and tactical gear, including food and laundry supplies.
This week’s Trailblazer edition focuses on personnel lockers created for an automotive manufacturer in Canada.
Engineered-to-order, these unique lockers maintain security while increasing the functionality of the locker rooms of a large automotive manufacturer. A smaller “closet” inside the full-sized locker door allows maintenance to leave behind clean uniforms and retrieve dirty uniforms from a production employee’s locker without having full access to all of the production employee’s belongings.

In addition to profiling innovative ETO products and installations, another goal of our Trailblazer newsletter is to share creative ways our sales reps have addressed challenges and moved past them to satisfy end-user customers—and make the sale.
We recently heard from Patterson Pope Sales Representative Bobby Davis about his experience with an architect who went with a low bid and quickly learned why the bid was so low, we thought it would be something the Spacesaver Group might want to learn about. Because the installation has only recently been completed, we ask that you don’t use this sales insight externally as the subject of a blog, website page, or a social media post– we simply look at this as a nugget of information that might be insightful in a particular situation.

If you have a story of a sales challenge and would like to provide insight on how you addressed that challenge, we’d love to hear about it—just email Melissa Ripp at mripp@spacesaver.com and she’ll get in touch with you to tell your story in an upcoming issue of The Trailblazer.

Depending on individual needs, a variety of Spacesaver’s products can provide the perfect solution for any IT department.
Cantilever Shelving, one of Spacesaver’s most common library shelving systems, has been engineered into many different variations over the years. One of the most aesthestically-pleasing and design-friendly variations is acrylic end panels and canopy tops.
Acrylic end panels and canopy tops can best be seen in the installation at the Seattle Central Library, where this engineered-to-order (ETO) solution helped maximize the natural light in the library while storing over a million volumes of books.

John Butler of Storage Systems Midwest won the Challenge of Champions contest with this week’s spotlighted innovative engineered-to-order (ETO) solution for the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater’s Wheelchair Basketball Team.

The solution utilizes Freestyle® Personal Storage Lockers with the following engineered features to meet the team’s unique needs:
