5 Challenges in Managing Outdoor Storage Spaces and How spottr Helps

Outdoor storage spaces are essential for many businesses – whether in logistics, vehicle trading, construction, or agriculture. However, compared to indoor warehouses, managing vast outdoor areas comes with unique challenges. Long search times, inaccurate documentation, and lack of oversight are common issues that cost time and money.

The innovative spottr system offers a practical solution. With GPS-based spots, photo and document linking, and QR code identification, managing outdoor storage spaces becomes more efficient and transparent.

In this blog article, we present the 5 biggest challenges in managing outdoor spaces and demonstrate how spottr solves them.


1. Challenge: Lack of Overview of Storage Locations

In large outdoor areas, it is often difficult to keep track. Where was the spare part stored? Where is the vehicle located? Employees often need to search for a long time before finding the right spot.

How spottr Helps:
With spottr, you store exact GPS coordinates for every position (spot) on your site. Each vehicle, material, or object can be assigned to a specific spot. Using a map or QR code scan function, you can locate the position instantly without long searches.

2. Challenge: Insufficient Documentation of Inventory

Clear information about stored items is often missing, especially in outdoor storage areas. Vehicles or construction machinery often sit idle for long periods without their condition or storage time being documented.

How spottr helps:
spottr allows the linking of photos, documents, and custom information to each spot. For example, you can:

All relevant information is always accessible and consolidated in one place.


3. Challenge: Significant Time Waste Due to Manual Searching

In outdoor storage areas, a lot of time is often wasted locating specific items. Employees frequently have to walk around large areas or rely on vague descriptions during searches.

How spottr helps:
With spottr, you can scan a QR code at the storage location or retrieve the GPS position via the spottr app and use the navigation app on your smartphone to guide you to the storage spot. This allows you to determine the exact location of an item or vehicle within seconds – regardless of the area size.


4. Challenge: Lost or Double-Occupied Storage Spaces

Without a clear system for assigning storage spaces, chaos can quickly arise: spaces become double-occupied, items get “lost,” or are hard to identify.

How spottr helps:
spottr makes it possible to clearly assign and manage storage spaces:

Efficient management saves time and optimizes space usage.


5. Challenge: Difficulties in Team Communication

Often, only a few employees know where specific items are stored. A lack of transparency leads to duplicate efforts and inefficient teamwork.

How spottr helps:
spottr provides all authorized team members with the same, up-to-date information. Storage locations are centrally stored and accessible at any time. Employees can directly refer to the spots, eliminating unnecessary follow-up questions.
