Store maintenance is a specialized field that requires a team to maintain retail stores. It involves keeping maintenance and repair costs on track through preventive maintenance programs and software to identify problem areas. Emergency services must be available 24/7/365. Store maintenance reporting solutions should be customized and cost effective programs implemented for items like fire extinguishers. Centralized and decentralized storage systems each have advantages and disadvantages for large operations. Centralized storage allows for better control while decentralized storage reduces handling and transportation costs but requires more space and staff.
