Schneider Electric Relocation Project
Project Overview
When Schneider Electric required a complex facility relocation in West Chester, Ohio, the project demanded more than simply moving assets from one location to another. With multiple stakeholders, operational requirements, and critical business functions at stake, success depended on meticulous planning, complete transparency, and flawless execution. Working alongside JLL and key project stakeholders, our team delivered a comprehensive relocation solution that prioritized operational continuity, inventory accuracy, and schedule performance throughout every phase of the project.
The Challenge
This relocation involved approximately 500,000 square feet of facilities and was executed through five separate phases as part of an approximately $500,000 project.
The project presented several significant challenges:
- Maintaining uninterrupted business operations throughout the relocation.
- Coordinating numerous stakeholders, including ownership, facility management, move management teams, specialty vendors, and contractors.
- Safely relocating production equipment, inventory, and critical assets.
- Maintaining accurate inventory records and chain of custody.
- Providing real-time reporting and complete project visibility throughout every phase.
With production operations continuing during the relocation, every move required careful coordination to minimize disruption and eliminate unnecessary risk
Our Solution
To ensure a successful outcome, we implemented a comprehensive relocation management strategy that combined technology, planning, and execution.
Our services included:

A key component of the project’s success was leveraging technology to provide complete visibility and validation throughout the move. This allowed project stakeholders to monitor progress, verify asset movement, maintain chain of custody, and make informed decisions in real time.
Through detailed planning, proactive communication, and close collaboration with all parties involved, each project phase was completed efficiently while protecting critical business operations.
