5 problem solving office supplies

By

One thing we should occasionally ask ourselves is ‘are there any helpful office supplies that we have overlooked’? Having these items available to us can go a long way in solving problems that develop when we or our employees don’t have the right tools, space, or supplies needed. The more obvious issues may have already been fixed, but optimal performance is a matter of tweaking the right things until the operation becomes smooth and effortless.

Just by taking a look around the work area and then taking a look at this list we may find some creative solutions to problems we were not even aware that we had.

Having a space where we can work on projects is needed for all businesses great and small. This adjustable height Fedmax workbench offers a 48 by 28 inch work area. The top is solid acacia wood making this beautiful as well as rugged. The steel frame is sturdy but easy to maneuver on caster wheels. There is plenty of workroom on the large top and the mobility makes this a great second work surface we can bring over on those bigger jobs.

Proper lighting is crucial to a work area, but proper lighting is also needed in storage places. This under cabinet lighting offers a bright white daylight LED illumination to those dark spaces. It spans 36 inches, which makes it just right for the interior of cabinets or under work benches. The light adheres to the underside of shelves, so it is out of the way of storage or work surfaces. It comes with a remote, which allows the light to be dimmed or brightened as we need.

Distance and noise can cut off communication between the office and work areas. Having a wireless doorbell can alert our workers to our needs, or it can be installed so our workers can more easily get our attention. There is a push button ringer and a chime receiver that plugs into any convenient outlet. The wireless operation works within 1000 feet and can easily penetrate walls.

A range finder is one of those items that we unknowingly do without but once we acquire one we wonder how we ever lived without it. With this laser range finder, we can accurately determine the distance to an object over 1000 feet away. Not only does this give us the distance, but we also see a clear image. It has a fog mode that will give accurate readings even in low visibility.

In dark rooms or at night, having night vision goggles can give us as clear of vision as daytime. However, these goggles do more than just offer us a clear view. They record HD video which can be played back on a computer or monitor. This can be a great item for our office security.
