Managing stock and order fulfilment is a balancing act for retailers. As order volumes grow, businesses need secure, flexible and scalable storage solutions to keep up. This is where Wigwam provides business storage designed to support companies of all sizes, helping online retailers streamline operations, track inventory in real time and maintain high levels of customer satisfaction. 

Let’s take a closer look at how you can streamline your e-commerce operations with Wigwam business storage 

Why Off-Site Storage Is Essential for Online Retailers

1. Manage Inventory Effectively

Off-site storage is a practical alternative to in-house stock management. By keeping inventory in a dedicated, secure space, online retailers reduce the risk of damage or loss while freeing up workspace for packing and shipping.  

By selecting the right unit size and storage type, online retailers can optimise packing, shipping and order processing.  

2. Secure Storage for Peace of Mind 

Security is essential for e-commerce businesses. Wigwam facilities feature 24-hour CCTV monitoring and individually alarmed units. These measures protect inventory against theft or damage, ensuring businesses can focus on core operations. 

Secure storage also improves operational reliability. Organised, protected inventory enables faster and more accurate order fulfilment, maintaining high service levels. Retailers can build customer trust and encourage repeat purchases with dependable fulfilment processes. 

3. Flexible Storage Options to Match Business Needs 

Flexible storage allows businesses to scale according to seasonal demand or new product launches, making it easier to manage order volumes and maintain a seamless fulfilment process.  

Wigwam offers more than 15 unit sizes, suitable for palletised goods, office furniture, documents and standard inventory. Retailers can choose storage that aligns with their business model.  

4. A Cost-Effective Alternative to Traditional Warehousing 

Off-site storage with Wigwam follows a pay-only-for-what-you-use model, removing the overheads of conventional warehouse leases. Retailers save on rent, utilities and management costs, freeing up capital for marketing, product development or expanding the online business. 

Modern, clean facilities and friendly on-site staff make operations smoother. Retailers benefit from professional storage solutions without the complexity of running a warehouse, allowing teams to focus on fulfilling orders and enhancing the customer experience. 

Choosing The Right Storage Unit Size for Your E-Commerce Business

Wigwam offers a wide range of unit sizes designed to meet the diverse needs of online retailers. Units start from compact 10 sq ft spaces, ideal for storing small quantities of seasonal stock, samples or packaging materials.  

For growing businesses, mid-sized units provide enough room for palletised goods, additional inventory or office supplies. 

For high-volume order fulfilment or larger stock, warehouse-style units up to 300 sq ft give plenty of space to store palletised inventory, bulk shipments or bulky equipment.  

This variety ensures that retailers can choose storage tailored to their specific operations, avoiding overpaying for unused space while maintaining easy access to stock. 

With flexible contracts starting from just 14 days and access from 6am to 10pm, Wigwam units are scalable, allowing your business to adjust storage as order volumes grow, seasonal demand changes or new product lines are introduced.

Wigwam’s conveniently located, scalable units make it simple to align storage solutions with operational requirements and business growth goals.

I have used the storage at Cheltenham for nearly two years now and have always been glad I made the change from a large facility in Kingsditch. I recall leaving a glowing review of Casey and his team when I first took on the unit. Just yesterday I left a less than complimentary review but have discovered my frustration at the time was due to misleading info I obtained over the Internet and nothing to do with Wigwam. So that review is withdrawn and I continue to recommend Wigwam as a convenient town centre facility, well run and utilising a high tech, easy to use entry system.

I can no longer recommend this storage facility after being a customer here for a few weeks. The lift to the second floor has been broken for some time, and this is a serious problem - the stairs are too narrow to get anything remotely large up to your unit, which makes storing bigger items essentially impossible. For me, that defeated the main purpose of renting a locker here.

On top of that, the dolly trolleys are meant to be returned to a designated point after use, but in practice no one does this, so you end up hunting for one. Most of the time they’re left in a separate building I don’t have access to, meaning I have to walk around 50m through corridors and up stairs carrying my belongings just to reach my unit. I reported this to reception and was told they’d return the trolleys to the proper point, but nothing has changed.

Parking is another issue - the boxing gym attached to the building also uses the car park, so it often feels crowded.

Only use this facility if you’re desperate. Otherwise, I’d look elsewhere.

Fantastic idea to use an app to gain entry. Once set up it's so easy to use and saves faffing around with keys and security fobs. My first visit was a revelation and is a definite encouragement to keep going back.
Well done Wigwam!!

Got a small lock up for short term use - getting set up was quick and easy. Introductory offer is also great.
All the team we've dealt with at Wigwam have provided fantastic customer service with some lovely personal touches. Our storage unit and the surrounding site is clean, well maintained and good value for money. I would definitely recommend.
