Shelving and Racking Audit App turns shelving and racking audits into a scored, repeatable programme. Auditors score each racking against weighted criteria, attach photo evidence, and track corrective actions to verified closure across every site. Managers compare shelving and racking audit scores across sites and track every corrective action to closure.
Shelving and Racking Audit App runs a scored racking audit covering racking uprights and beams, aisle and pedestrian segregation, dock leveller and door condition, pallet and load stability, and housekeeping at pick faces, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, racking findings live on paper and in chat. A racking fault such as damaged racking slips through. An audit then means rebuilding racking evidence from folders.
Shelving and Racking Audit App keeps one record per racking and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each racking finding is tracked to verified closure. Warehouse supervisors and logistics managers see racking completion and overdue actions across the retail portfolio. Every racking record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in a Shelving and Racking Audit App?
A comprehensive racking audit covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Audit shelving and racking programmes with weighted scoring, photo evidence, and corrective action tracking across stores. Your audit should include sections for racking uprights and beams, aisle and pedestrian segregation, and dock leveller and door condition, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every audit finding is traceable.
How to Use Shelving and Racking Audit App
A scored audit only helps if every auditor scores the same way. Follow these steps to run a shelving and racking audit:
Open the shelving and racking audit template, which carries weighted criteria and a scoring scheme.
Score each racking against the criteria and attach photo evidence for any non-conformance.
Let the app calculate the section and overall shelving and racking score so the site is comparable to others.
Raise a corrective action for each failed shelving and racking criterion with an owner and due date.
Sign off the shelving and racking audit. The scorecard and branded report generate automatically.
What Does a Racking Audit Cover?
A racking audit scores condition against ISO 45001 and warehouse racking guidance, checking racking uprights and beams, aisle and pedestrian segregation, dock leveller and door condition, pallet and load stability, and housekeeping at pick faces. Each racking finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the failing point. So the racking audit becomes a traceable evidence pack, not an ageing spreadsheet.

What Shelving and Racking Teams Fix When Audits Are Scored the Same Way Everywhere
Shelving and Racking work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Shelving and Racking Audit App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
Assigned contractor signs off the racking fix, and nobody checks it
A defect on the racking is handed to assigned contractor. A week later the racking defect is marked closed. Whether the racking work was done well, badly, or at all, nobody has verified.
Problem
Assigned contractor marks work closed with no verification
Poor racking fixes are only found at the next inspection
No record of which shelving and racking partners actually perform
Solution
Closure photo required before any shelving and racking action is signed off
Assigned contractor performance scored on closure speed and re-opens
Re-opened racking actions linked back to the original finding
Shelving and Racking data is scattered across spreadsheets, photos, and chat
Some shelving and racking records sit in Excel, some in a WhatsApp group, some in a folder of photos. There is no single source of truth for the racking, so every shelving and racking question takes an hour and three people to answer.
Problem
Shelving and Racking records split across Excel, chat, and photo folders
No single trusted version of the racking record
Answering a simple shelving and racking question takes hours
Solution
One system of record for every shelving and racking check and finding
Every racking photo and action tied to its record
Search any site or racking and get an answer instantly
Every auditor scores the shelving and racking audit differently, so sites cannot be compared
One auditor is strict, another is lenient, and a third skips sections. The shelving and racking audit scores come back, but leadership cannot tell whether a low score means a weak site or a tough auditor.
Problem
Shelving and Racking scoring depends on which auditor showed up
Racking sections get skipped with no record
Shelving and Racking scores are not comparable across sites
Solution
Weighted shelving and racking criteria baked into the audit template
Mandatory racking sections, so nothing is skipped
Comparable shelving and racking scores that roll up across the estate
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Shelving and Racking Audit App check on a racking audit?
Shelving and Racking Audit App runs a scored racking audit against ISO 45001 and warehouse racking guidance, checking racking uprights and beams, aisle and pedestrian segregation, dock leveller and door condition, pallet and load stability, and housekeeping at pick faces. Each finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the point it fails, then routed to an owner with a deadline. It stays open until a reviewer verifies the fix, so the audit becomes a traceable evidence pack for warehouse supervisors and logistics managers rather than an ageing spreadsheet. Because scoring is built into the template, two sites assessed by two people produce numbers you can compare fairly.
Which racking defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The audit targets the racking failures that matter most: damaged racking, blocked egress aisles, unstable pallet stacks, and unsegregated forklift routes. Left unchecked, a fault such as damaged racking can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so warehouse supervisors and logistics managers fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.
Which standards does Shelving and Racking Audit App support for racking work?
Shelving and Racking Audit App keeps racking checks aligned to ISO 45001 and warehouse racking guidance. The photos each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, warehouse supervisors and logistics managers pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.
Can teams run racking checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Shelving and Racking Audit App is offline-first: teams complete racking checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So warehouse supervisors and logistics managers get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a remote or low-signal area never costs a round or loses a photo.
What evidence proves a racking audit was completed?
Every completed racking audit carries racking defect photo, aisle photo, and dock condition photo, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, warehouse supervisors and logistics managers can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
