About Company
Background: A previous client (a $25B multinational clothing-retail company) wanted to re-hire us after successfully completing various large projects. After showcasing our expertise time and time again, they were confident in selecting us to design and built out a new (square footage) facility in Central Jersey.
The Project
Scope: The project was divided into several phases, in a way that would allow them to begin their operations as quickly as possible. This required the careful elaboration of a project plan that would allow their operators, as well as our installers to safely work in tangent.
Solution: Phase 1 consisted of erecting the pallet racking structure for the pick module. While it was originally designed to feature numerous carton-picking levels, the client’s operation evolved halfway though the installation of Phase 1. Headzup adapted to the client’s new needs, a considerable amount of garment storage, and provided a practical, elegant solution that wouldn’t result in the customer having to incur a tremendous amount of additional costs.
Phase 2, the installation of 34,500 sq. feet of High Bay Selective Racking, was originally supposed to occur immediately after Phase 1. Due to setbacks brought about by the electrical/lighting contractors, Headzup’s Project Management and Installation teams collaborated with the client to create a new timeline that wouldn’t adversely affect their operation.
Details:
90,000 sqft footprint (ground +1)
180,000 sq. ft. total area
7,250 sq ft. stock rail
57,300 carton pick faces
Timeline:
We committed to a timeline of 22 weeks to complete Phases 1 and 2. The customer’s shifting needs required adding an additional 4 weeks to the project.
Outcome
Headzup’s solution fulfilled the customer’s new storage needs without excessively delaying the installation. The customer has continued to use Headzup’s services to current and future projects, in large part due to our expertise, adaptability, and professionalism. The Design and Project Management team’s excellent communication and problem-solving know-how helped avert an expensive, time-consuming outcome.
Moral of the Story: Since every job has a degree of complexity, we can’t foresee every complication that might compromise a customer’s established timelines. However, Headzup is resourceful and adaptable enough to find alternate solutions to unexpected obstacles. In situations where a viable solution doesn’t exist, you can always expect candid communication from our project management group. We're here to support your business in whatever capacity we can and to do right by your operations team. You can always count on us to tell it to you straight.
