The challenge
Office pods are not flat-pack shelves. A meeting room pod is a large, finished product that has to come apart cleanly and go back together the same way. A phone booth is smaller, but it is still a tall, awkward shape that does not forgive a rushed lift.
At an exhibition the problem gets sharper. The show closes, the hall empties, and the organiser gives every exhibitor a short load-out window.
The manufacturer had three meeting rooms and two phone booths on the floor. All of it had to come down, be packed so it would survive the trip and leave the building that night.
Then there was the other half of the job. Pods that go to a show do not stay there, so delivery, installation and reverse logistics follow.
Our approach
We sent a team of seven to the exhibition centre for the load-out. Three meeting rooms and two phone booths were packed down and loaded onto the truck.
Loading order matters on a job like this, because it decides what comes off the truck first at the other end.
For the install side, we handled a single-person phone booth pod and a larger four-person meeting pod. Both involved delivery, installation and then the reverse logistics.
For any show, we plan the load-out window with the organiser and venue first, because their rules decide when vehicles can enter.
The result
The three meeting rooms and two phone booths were packed down and loaded out by the team of seven. The pods then went through delivery and installation, and we took the reverse logistics off the client's hands.
