Professional move management for complex corporate projects & large-scale operations
Large-scale projects in a corporate environment do not tolerate planning errors. When hundreds of workstations need to be relocated, sensitive server structures migrated, or multiple trades coordinated in parallel, simple transport services are no longer enough. Successful move management for companies requires a proven structure, seamless risk assessment, and transparent project control that significantly relieves the burden on your internal project manager.
DACHSER & KOLB combines decades of operational experience with the standardized processes and logistical strength of the global DACHSER SE network. We manage your project systematically – ensuring guaranteed business continuity without productivity losses.
The DACHSER & KOLB PM roadmap: 4 phases to project success
Complexity becomes manageable through structure. For us, every demanding project is divided into a transparent phase model that can be seamlessly integrated into your existing milestone plans:
Initiation & risk analysis (The foundation)
At the beginning, we carry out a detailed assessment of all framework conditions at the origin and destination sites. Our experienced contacts identify potential logistical challenges (such as access routes, walking distances, or load limits for floors and staircases) and define the project’s critical paths together with you.
Structured detailed planning (The framework)
In this phase, we create the logistical schedule scenario. To minimize friction among your workforce, we rely on clear planning tools:
- The move manual:
We document the entire process in a tailored move manual for you. This guide defines standardized packing instructions, deadlines, and responsibilities in order to relieve your internal communication as much as possible.
- Systematic labeling:
Our well-designed labeling system ensures that every piece of furniture and every box can be assigned directly to the correct room at the destination without time-consuming searching.
Operational on-site project control (Execution)
During the implementation phase, we ensure seamless coordination of all on-site processes. Acting as your project manager, DACHSER & KOLB manages the interfaces between teams and ensures precise adherence to the scheduled time window. If unexpected events arise, flexibly prepared contingency plans are immediately activated.
Structured project closure (Commissioning)
After the physical relocation, we conduct a joint, planned site walk-through and a documented acceptance of all services. Our structured support ensures that your workstations and systems are immediately operational again at the new site and that daily business can continue seamlessly.
Coordinating complex service portfolios from a single source
Modern project management for office relocations means proactively combining various logistical disciplines into one harmonized overall process:
- Office relocation & site transfer:
Complete relocation of administrative and operational infrastructures in compliance with strict security requirements.
- Inhouse logistics & workstation relocation:
Large-scale internal reallocations, floor changes, and space adjustments during ongoing operations.
- Global mobility & relocation:
Synchronized management of national and international employee relocations aligned with your HR timelines.

FAQ – Questions from project managers and move coordinators
How does the move manual support internal workflows?
The move manual we prepare guides your workforce step by step through the process. It defines the exact division of responsibilities between your company and our teams. This ensures every employee knows exactly what must be packed and by when.
How is business continuity during ongoing operations guaranteed?
Through detailed scheduling and optional relocation windows outside core business hours – for example on weekends or after work. Critical infrastructure is prioritized in the planning so that downtime is reduced to virtually zero.
How does DACHSER & KOLB coordinate interfaces with third-party providers such as IT service partners?
Your dedicated project manager coordinates the logistical schedule in advance closely with your internal departments and external partners (e.g. IT technicians or furniture manufacturers). This ensures that logistical transport and technical installation interlock seamlessly without creating downtime.
Which quality standards and certifications does your project management follow?
Our entire quality management system is officially certified. We work in accordance with the globally recognized standards of ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 14001 (environmental management), and the strict international requirements of the FIDI-FAIM PLUS certification for global moving logistics.
