Case Study - ASDA Cake Shop Project image

Summary

Bluestones One were proud to support Asda when they confirmed the exit of their old in bay Cake Shop stand. Bluestones One were asked to execute this project from start to finish by coordinating the fixture order and delivery, providing an engagement brief, execution in store and finally removal and recycling of all waste and old equipment. Working in partnership with the fixture suppliers and Asda distribution centres Bluestones arranged exact equipment dates, communicated and briefed to stores what they were required to prepare and then installed the new equipment the next night.

Challenges

Bluestones One worked closely with both the equipment suppliers and Asda distribution centres and communicated to every store creating a roll out plan and programme that ensured the equipment was delivered on time, the stock removed ahead and the new equipment installed the next evening. Co ordinating the install around every stores operational hours to avoid any overtime requirements minimised store disruption and reduced any impact to sales.

Results

The project was completed on time and within budget and all merchandising, racking and equipment returned back to standard.

Bluestones One received positive feedback from the customer and as a result further orders have now been placed.
