  5. Project Logistics • What is the definition of a “Project”: • A temporary endeavor with a defined start and end, which when completed meets all pre-established objectives. • How Do “Project Logistics” Differ From Other Forms of Distribution? • Each project has unique transportation and logistics requirements • Projects are typically not organized nor contracted with logistics in mind • Project stakeholders do not have visibility into transportation issues – until there is a problem! • Project logistics are often not subjected to the pricing rigors of other services or commodities • Venn-Corp successfully manages project logistics for the following: • Project Owners and Construction Managers • New construction projects and multi-site programs • Retrofit or renovation of existing facilities • Product placement rollouts • FF&E vendor production, transport and installation schedule coordination Venn-Corp’s services assist the project team in developing, implementing and managing the logistics program from inception through the financial close-out of the project.

  6. The Typical Project Logistics System If the FF&E delivery is left controlled by the manufacturer, all transportation choices will be subservient to the strategy of the vendor and is unlikely to mesh with the project’s schedule.

Product Ships from Vendor • Acting on PO# Instructions, vendor ships product to job site HOW DO YOU CONTROL COSTS AND STAY ON SCHEDULE ? HOW DO YOU MEET EXPECTATIONS AND STILL CONTROL COSTS?
