MAXSONIC Ltd is a business in Leicester importing and distributing its own brand of confectionery to customers across the UK. Their product range includes a variety of crispy and soft candy lines, supplied to retailers and buyers who rely on consistent availability and dependable fulfilment.
As a product-led business, MAXSONIC manages fluctuating stock levels throughout the year. Large deliveries arrive in bulk, while orders are dispatched in varying volumes depending on demand, promotions and seasonal sales cycles. Keeping this flow organised requires space that can adapt as stock levels rise and fall.
This case study shows how a Leicester-based distribution business uses local self storage to manage boxed stock, scale space when needed and keep operations running smoothly as inventory moves through the business.
Stock-heavy businesses often face the same challenge: inventory doesn’t move in a straight line. Some periods require additional space to receive bulk deliveries, while others see stock selling through quickly, freeing up capacity.
Without flexible storage, excess stock can overwhelm working areas, forcing teams to reshuffle cartons repeatedly or sacrifice operational space. This slows down order processing and increases the risk of damage to packaging.
MAXSONIC needed a secure storage solution in Leicester that would allow them to take on more space when deliveries arrived, then reduce or reuse space as stock sold through, without locking the business into fixed constraints.
MAXSONIC chose Smartbox Self Storage Leicester because it offered flexibility that matched how stock moves in a growing distribution business.
Having local self storage in Leicester meant additional space could be accessed quickly when large shipments arrived, then adjusted as inventory levels changed. This allowed MAXSONIC to scale storage up or down in line with demand, rather than holding unnecessary space year-round.
Security was also a priority. Branded confectionery stock represents both value and reputation. Knowing the site is monitored by CCTV around the clock provided peace of mind that goods were always protected.
The ability to manage access digitally was another advantage. Smartbox’s mobile app allows unit access to be shared when needed, making it easy for trusted team members to collect or store stock without handing over keys or disrupting workflows.
Using Smartbox Self Storage in Leicester gave MAXSONIC a flexible overflow space that works alongside their main operations.
The indoor storage unit is used to store boxed confectionery stock and promotional consignments that are not required for immediate dispatch. When deliveries arrive, additional space can be taken on to accommodate increased volume. As stock sells through, that same space can be reused or reduced, keeping storage aligned with real-time needs.
Items stored include cartons of MAXSONIC branded products, kept organised and ready for onward distribution. Access is managed securely via the mobile app, allowing the right people to access the unit when required, while CCTV monitoring provides reassurance that stock remains safe between visits.
Smartbox Self Storage Leicester has helped MAXSONIC manage stock in a more controlled and flexible way. Working areas remain clear, inventory is easier to organise, and stock movements feel more predictable.
The ability to scale storage space up and down has reduced pressure during busy delivery periods, while app-based access and 24/7 monitored CCTV have added confidence and convenience to day-to-day operations.
For product-based businesses, local self storage allows stock to be handled in stages, keeps operations uncluttered and supports growth without unnecessary overhead.
MAXSONIC Ltd imports and distributes its own-brand confectionery across the UK, supplying a range of crispy and soft candy products to retailers and trade customers. The business focuses on quality, consistency and reliable supply, supported by recognised manufacturing standards and certifications.
Using flexible self storage in Leicester allows MAXSONIC to keep stock secure while maintaining an efficient, uncluttered working environment as the business continues to grow.
