Global E-Commerce Retailer’s Seamless Transition: Office Decommissioning, Equipment Relocation, and Office Furniture Installation

CHALLENGE

Recognized as ‘Earth’s most customer-centric company’, this global e-commerce giant is committed to operational excellence that fulfills the highest care for its customers. The retailer recently resumed renovations on 22 floors of unfinished office space at its Bellevue, WA headquarters and needed a well-resourced commercial office mover to deliver and install technology, furniture, and equipment aligned with the company’s global real estate standards.

The challenge was to refresh the space by removing old assets, including employee personal items that were left behind during the pandemic, and integrate new standard-approved furnishings and equipment. The commercial mover would need to accomplish this without access to onsite loading docks which were shut down because of construction.

SOLUTION

As a leading commercial moving company serving businesses nationwide for more than 100 years, Suddath was selected to decommission five floors and install new equipment and furnishings. We designed a comprehensive solution that began with resetting the space, removing electronic waste, personal items, and surplus furniture. End-of-life electronics were processed through our e-waste disposal service for recycling and remaining trash debris was meticulously removed, leaving a clean space for the retailer’s new assets.

Our expert relocation team developed a strategy to effectively deliver their new equipment and furnishings onto each floor. Because onsite loading docks were inaccessible, we utilized nearby loading docks, depalletized assets into manageable collections, and rolled the items 50 feet towards the building.

Guided by a site map designed during office space planning, our experts installed desks and workstations to meet standard configurations. Additionally, IT testing was conducted following installation of all equipment and technology.

RESULTS

In only a week and under budget, Suddath delivered a comprehensive solution for the global e-commerce giant, encompassing decommissioning, e-waste removal, IT support, and furniture installation services.
