Read an excerpt from “Warehouse Storage Solutions & Design Considerations; What You Need to Know” below.

“Operational and physical changes often go hand in hand or at least significantly impact one another. Generally speaking, in a warehouse or distribution environment, physical facility changes boil down to different types of storage media for product handling, manipulation or picking. The most common types of storage come from four categories: Bulk Storage, Pallet Rack, Shelving, and Carton Flow. With the focus on different types of manual storage systems, below you will find how each type is used, some pitfalls to avoid, and ways to keep the equipment like new.”

TriFactor Accepting Applications for Material Handling Sales Positions

TriFactor is looking for a Product Sales Engineer and a Systems Sales Engineer to join their Central Florida sales force. At TriFactor, Sales Engineers are divided into specific teams. The Central Florida sales team consists of Product Sales Engineers and Systems Sales Engineers that service the same accounts in Central Florida but at different levels selling different types of material handling products and services.

In general, a Systems Sales Engineer is responsible for providing the automated material handling solutions to customers. These solutions are typically several hundred thousand dollars to multi-million dollar investments and take a long time to come to closure. The candidate best suited for this position must have patience, great personal relationship skills, be able to speak to personnel at the highest levels of customer organizations, and be able to coordinate many parties' interests so that they are well represented and their problems are addressed.

The Product Sales Engineer is more of a transactional sales associate that provides mostly static material handling solutions to customers. This is typically in the form of pallet racking, shelving, mezzanines, gravity (non-powered) conveyor, carts, etc. Therefore, the sales cycle is much shorter and the dollar investment significantly lower than compared to the System Sales Engineer's transactions. Additionally, the Product Sales Engineer is responsible for the fulfillment of the project that is sold, whereas the Systems Sales Engineer's sold projects utilize TriFactor's Mechanical and Electrical Engineers for fulfillment responsibility.

If either of these positions interests you, please review the job descriptions located on the Positions Available page of our website at http://www.trifactor.com/About-TriFactor/Careers/Positions-Available If you meet the minimum requirements and are interested in either position, please submit your resume and any other pertinent information about your qualifications to hr@trifactor.com.
