Suddath believes the term "project management" is more than just the coordination and tracking of
product shipments. Our Project Managers constantly challenge the norm and seek to outperform in
our client’s best interest. Their focus is maintaining the most efficient and safe operations possible.
Because our project management team tracks the progress of your project as a whole, we provide
control and visibility that supplier-routed transportation or employing multiple logistics providers
cannot offer. With the assistance of our advanced information systems, our project managers help
you to keep projects on schedule and on budget.

Utilizing a Suddath storage facility, or that of one of our worldwide commercial partners, reduces the
need for on-site storage and allows for strategic kitting of materials based on facility areas or project
phases. Our team proactively looks for concerns to prevent delivery of the wrong or damaged
product. If damage or an incorrect order is found, Suddath will proactively take action to remedy the
issue (this can include: notification of supplier, return to sender, photograph or other documentation
of the order inconsistency or damage, and taking further steps to rectify). Above all, our focus is to
keep the project running efficiently.

Our objective is to make the installation and construction processes for energy projects go as
smoothly as possible. We can provide labor for unloading and unpacking at the project site. We
notify the installer/contractor that materials are on site and supervise the process to ensure that
they are entered into the system as installed.
