We have a tendency to buy office supplies, e.g. paper clips, pens, markers, etc… only to later find out that we have it in excess, that they were just in the corner of a closed cabinet or shelf.

This isn’t a major issue, but I’m also thinking there’s probably an easy solution. I was thinking perhaps just have open shelves so they would always be on display with no blind spots, or to just draft an excel sheet checklist of sorts, and just have 1 of our office staff do a monthly audit.

What do you guys do?

Thanks

    Thanks, I’ll look into it.

    I was thinking the same thing, I was thinking about my younger days working in a grocery store, and being told that “noone buys shit from the back, you have to display it.”

    I actually bought this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SD3ZM1F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It’s on its way right now, but I’m hoping that if we can make it more visually accessible, it would be easier for whoever would be performing this basic audit.
