It is important that this area remains clean and well organised. This makes the process easier and also will prevent accidents and potential theft.
The receiving bay of a retail store will vary depending on the store’s size and location. Larger stores will have a receiving bay where all goods are delivered to.

This would allow employees to know the exact location of all stock. This would make the picking of stock easier.

Some larger stores with massive warehouses are now using robotic technology.
