The Sheraton Tribeca opened in the fall of 2010 in the heart of New York City. This was a very difficult location for deliveries due to the small delivery window and lack of a loading dock. During the FF&E installation of this project, one of Audit Logistics’ responsibilities was to move 34,114 linear yards of vinyl wall-covering from vendors in Illinois directly to the jobsite in New York City. This just-in-time shipment consisted of 50 skids and weighed nearly 52,000 pounds. Each roll of vinyl weighed approximately 60 pounds and had to be unloaded by hand.
Through our network of warehouses and agents, Audit Logistics received this shipment in New Jersey and delivered the vinyl to the jobsite in six straight trucks. The trucks had to be unloaded in 30 minutes, and it was done precisely with our coordination and the help from the installers at the jobsite.
