Shelving plans
Bay widths, shelf levels and aisles set out on a scaled drawing of your own room. Heavy, bulky and quick-moving lines each get a sensible home before a single upright goes in.

What this planner is for
Sicuro Consulting plans small stockrooms for online shops: the room behind the shop where orders are picked, packed and handed to the courier. You send the measurements, we send back drawings and a written plan.

Six parts of a working stockroom
A stockroom that works is mostly a question of where things sit and in what order someone walks past them. These are the parts we plan, each drawn for your room rather than lifted from a catalogue.
Pick paths
A route that visits every location in order, so a picker collects a whole order in one walk instead of crossing the room three times for one parcel.
Location labels
A short code for every zone, bay and shelf level, with label sizes and wording worked out so a new starter can find a product on their first afternoon.
Packing benches
A bench sized to the people who pack at it, cartons and void fill within arm's reach, and a clear outbound lane from bench to collection point.
Full layout with walk-through
All of the above in one set of drawings, plus a recorded video walk-through in which we talk your team through the plan, bay by bay.
Measuring sheet
Before we draw anything you receive a measuring sheet that shows exactly which walls, doors, sockets and obstructions to record, and how.
The packages, racked and priced
Three fixed fees and one add-on. Each fee covers one room, the drawings, the written plan and the revision rounds stated on the package. Prices are in euro and you see the full fee before anything is booked.

How a job runs, from first message to hand-over
Most shops come to us at the same moment: the stock that once fitted on two bookcases now fills a garage, a rented unit or a back room, and packing an order has started to take longer than selling it. The fix is rarely more space. It is a plan for the space you already have.
A job runs in five steps, and you always know which one you are on.
- Choose a package. Tell us about the room and pick a plan on the booking page. We reply by e-mail with the fee and a payment link for the deposit; nothing is taken before you agree.
- Measure. You receive the measuring sheet. Most people complete it in an hour with a tape measure and a phone. Doors, windows, radiators, sockets and pillars all go on it, because each one decides where a bay can stand.
- Draft. We draw the room to scale and place bays, aisles, zones and, on the full layout, the packing bench. You get a draft drawing and a short note explaining every choice.
- Revise. You tell us what does not suit the way you work. We adjust within the rounds included in your package.
- Hand over. The final drawings, the written plan and the label list arrive as files you can print. On the full layout a recorded walk-through explains the plan to whoever will set it up.
We value plain drawings over clever ones. A plan that only its author can read is no use to the part-time packer who starts next month, so every drawing carries labels in words and every decision in the written plan says why it was made.
We turn work down when it is not ours to do. We do not sell or fit racking, we do not carry out inspections or sign-offs, we do not recruit staff for you and we do not sell stock software. If your question is about any of those, we will say so in our first reply rather than take a fee.
Every plan starts as a measured drawing, set out by hand before it is cleaned up for you.
Questions shops ask before booking
What do you need from us to start?
The completed measuring sheet, a short phone video of the room turned slowly from each corner, and a product list exported from your shop with an indication of which lines sell most each week. Rough is fine: we work from the order your products leave the shelf, not from perfect data.
Do you visit the stockroom?
No. Every plan is drawn remotely from your measurements, photographs and video, which is what keeps the fees fixed and lets us plan rooms anywhere in Europe. If a measurement looks doubtful on the drawing we ask you to re-check that one wall rather than guess.
How long does a plan take?
Once the measurements are in, a shelving plan or a pick-path plan usually reaches you within two weeks, and a full stockroom layout within four. We give you a delivery date in writing when we confirm the booking.
Can we change the plan after delivery?
Yes, within the revision rounds included with each package: one round on the single plans and two on the full layout. A round covers changes to the same room, such as moving a bay or swapping the bench to the other wall. Further rounds are quoted before any work starts.
Do you supply or install shelving?
No. We are planners. The drawings list bay widths, depths and shelf levels so you can buy from whichever supplier you prefer and assemble the units yourself or with a fitter you choose.
Is this only for online shops?
It is built for them: rooms where small orders are picked and packed every day. A craft studio or a small showroom with a back store can use the same packages, but we do not plan large distribution sites or anything with forklift traffic.
Outbound
A room you can pick from in one walk is a room you can grow in.
Book the package that matches your problem now and add the rest later: a shelving plan can be extended into a full layout, with the fee already paid set against the larger one.
