Ways to improve the storage racks.

[RuNoMai]

I'm really glad we get to upgrade storage now (and have a door connecting to the actual store), but the racks themselves don't seem particularly efficient compared to continuing to drop product on the floor; I'm basically only using my racks for keeping the empties I save for moving product when I buy a new license.

With that said, here are my ideas to make the racks more space-efficient and easier to use:

1 - Put product labels on the side of the box, rather than on the top. When they're on a rack, it's harder to tell what's in a box, and impossible for higher shelves where you can't even SEE the top. You have to blindly pull and hope it's what you're looking for.

2 - Let us mix boxes on a single shelf space, rather than limiting us to having to put boxes of the SAME product with each other. I understand that it's way easier to program stacking boxes of the same size together, but I rarely have more than one box of the same product in reserve at a time, unless it was an accidental order or something that sells rapidly, like the large sushi platters or bags of potatoes. It's a waste of space compared to just stacking individual boxes on the floor.

Absolutely agree with the side labels. Would be very helpful.

they added storage labels and are meant to be used by your stockers

This idea has bee implemented with stickers on the shelves.

If you click on the shelf it puts the box on the shelf along with a tag like the shelves on the store
