The Importance Of Service Body Organisation

Organising your service body is a great way to keep track of everything and stay productive. It is important for a number of reasons. For example, if you don’t take care in organising your tools and equipment, it can become difficult when dealing with an emergency situation or a quick job that requires quick reflexes with minimal time wasted on preparation. Service body organisation can also help ensure that the customer always has a positive experience and their project is completed on time.Luckily, we’ve got 10 great tips to help you keep your service body organised below:

1). Declutter Your Ute

One way to keep your service body organised is by decluttering your ute. When you have more than one job, it's easy for everything in the back of your ute to get mixed up. However, decluttering your ute is an easy way to keep it looking good and running smoothly. For starters, get rid of all those extra items that are cluttering up space inside the vehicle. This could be anything from old shopping bags and boxes to clothes and discarded food packaging! 

2). Utilise Technology

Organisation programs are a great way to have an organised ute before you start filling it with equipment. These software packages can help plan out where everything will go and make sure that all of your storage needs get met in one fell swoop. They can also help those who need more complex storage systems. 

3). Add Lighting

It is important to have lights in your work ute, especially if you are working at night or early morning. You need the right lighting so that everything can be seen and kept where it should be. Installing lighting in the back corners of your service body with a motion sensor or tap-activated lights are very handy for this.

4). Lay A Storage Foundation

Once you've thoroughly cleaned out your vehicle and inventoried its contents, the next order of business is to build a secure foundation on which to store all those heavy goods. If you have a service lock up module, for example, look to place heavier or bulkier items on the floor of the tray and store smaller equipment within reach or in storage shelves and compartments. 

5). Maximise Storage 

Storage boxes where you can store valuables such as laptops, documents, tools, and more are a great way to organise your service body. Shelving systems can be bought separately, though some service bodies can come with a shelving system included already.

6). Use Custom Storage Boxes

You need to make sure that you have a secure place for your tools, and this can be done by using custom storage boxes that are fitted with different compartments. These will keep all of those loose parts in one place so that you never lose your tools or spare parts. 

7). Install Overhead Racks

Overhead racks are an essential part of your ute's service body. They allow you to store tools, materials, and other equipment. Additionally, overhead racks keep your tools out of sight when not in use so that you’ve got all the necessary and appropriate tools at your disposal. You'll never have to worry about the mess of your service body’s interior again with overhead racks!

8). Prioritise The Tools You Use Frequently

You'll always have one less thing on your mind if you prioritise the tools that are most frequently used. The best way to do this is by making lists and ranking items according to priority. This will help keep everything organised in order of importance so that you can easily access your most frequently used tools!

9). Take Inventory

Take inventory of all the items and tools that you have on hand. You'll have better luck organising your service body if you take an inventory beforehand. This will save time later as you won’t need to find items that turn out not to be there anyway! 

10). Keep Paperwork Handy

Keeping your paperwork in the cab of your ute is important because it gives you quick access to it. However, along with giving you fast access, keeping your paperwork in the cab can reduce the chances of getting it dirty. The equipment stored in the back might be dirty and dusty and need cleaning after use so that’s one less thing to worry about when taking care of business on site.

Final Thoughts

A clean and organised work area is a tidy mind. Keeping your service body neat and orderly will help you be more productive, efficient, and focused on the task at hand. This article outlines 10 ways to organise your ute from decluttering to setting up storage systems.
