Nationwide Decommission for multi-national imaging and electronics company

Every company is on a journey. At Planes, it’s our job to move you forward.

When a multi-national imaging and electronics company decided to modernize its image and expand its product offerings – but downsize its locations – Planes partnered with an American supply retailer to facilitate this evolution in the company’s identity. We led weekly meetings with our customer and our partner to discuss budgeting, scheduling, and scope of services for each project.

By the numbers: In 24 months, we moved 125 locations. Over the 5-year relationship, we completed 350 projects in over 40 states.

The Planes Difference:

Scalability.

• We decommissioned spaces ranging from 998 square feet to 111,442 square feet.
• We completed full decommissions of 140 locations, and provided move management and partial decommission for 160 locations.
• We added capacity and functioned as an extension of the customer’s team of three project managers.
• We acted as a single point of contact for the customer.

Warehousing and FF&E Expertise.

• We received and inventoried FF&E from multiple vendors for all new office locations.
• Our vast national footprint enabled us to warehouse inventory in various locations simultaneously.
• We verified the spaces for new furniture, and provided installation services.
• We repurposed furniture from closed locations, or donated it to local charities on the customer’s behalf.

Dashboarding.

• We shared the project status from conception to completion by automating updates and reminders based on project phasing.
• We teamed up with our customer to create next steps for each phase in the project.
• We created dashboards to show project manager workflows and capacity to ensure efficiency and accelerate processes where possible.
