Stockpile is an incredible solution for managing your business inventory. Did you know it also doubles as a great home inventory system? Hopefully, by now you’re using it (and loving it) at work. Are you also using Stockpile as your home inventory system? You should be. It’s been awhile since we talked about the ways that Stockpile can help you out at home. If you missed our previous posts over the summer you can read them here and here. If you’re still not convinced that you should implement Stockpile as your home inventory system, we’ve got a few more reasons why you should give it a try.
Everyone knows your efficiency increases when you are organized. The less time you have to spend gathering (often searching for) the items you need to get the job done, the quicker you can get started on the task itself. Many home gurus will tell you that all you need are some bins, a label maker and a plan. While those are necessary organizational tools you also need a way to keep track of where all your newly organized stuff is. How many times have you cursed your cleaning efforts because you can’t remember where you put something when you “put it where it belonged” instead of where it had been sitting? If you’re like most of us, it happens more often than you’d like to admit. Enter Stockpile. Reorganizing the kitchen? You can create a “store” called Kitchen with locations of cabinets, shelves, pantry, etc. Then you can add “inventory”, pots, pans, utensils, special occasion dishes, whatever. Next time you need something you can easily locate it in Stockpile before you start turning your kitchen upside down looking for it.
The holidays are coming and that means your holiday decorations will be coming out. Using our home inventory system to track your holiday inventory ensures that you know what you have and where you stored it last year when you put it away.Storing decorations at the end of the season can be a little like repacking your suitcase at the end of your vacation; you know everything fit in there on the way to your destination but somehow it doesn’t want to go back in the same way. If you have an accurate record of which bin each item came out of it will be that much easier to put things away. No one enjoys taking down holiday decorations and packing them away - if there’s a way to make that job a little faster and easier to complete, why wouldn’t you use it?
Everyone has seldom used items in storage somewhere. How often do you access the stuff that you have stored? Do you know exactly what you have? Could you find it quickly if you needed it? If you use Stockpile to track your belongings you’d be able to answer ‘yes’ to both of those questions. If you have items that you don’t even remember that you own you’re wasting space storing them. That might not sound like a big deal but it can quickly become one. When we are living in clutter we can start to feel overwhelmed. When our homes start to feel too full, often we start thinking about moving to a larger home. Unless your family has grown recently, chances are you don’t need a larger home, you just need to declutter some. That's exactly where our home inventory system comes into play. We'll help you identify what you have too much of, and make sense out of where things are. What's not to love? Oh, and did we mention it's free!
At home, as at work, Stockpile can save you time and money. When you can quickly and easily find the items that you need when you need them you have more time to do other things. Most of us value that extra at home time far more than we do an extra few minutes at work. With all those pluses we can’t think of a single good reason why you shouldn’t be using our home inventory system. Get started organizing your home today!
