Project Deployment





Wesco’s deployment services help secure job site materials, prevent loss, improve efficiency, reduce job site waste and ensure that your day-to-day supplies are on hand.


Whether you’re planning a maintenance shutdown, deploying broadband infrastructure, building a data center or rolling out a multi-site solution, Wesco can prepare a coordinated, customized program to keep you well-stocked, your project on time and within budget.


Kitting and Labeling Services

Locating materials, gathering components, unpacking and handling excess packaging waste add non-productive labor to your projects. Wesco’s custom kitting and labeling services improve project execution with whole order delivery and labeling by project phase and site location. Materials are easier to locate and prepare for installation. 

In addition to time savings, removal and recycling excess packaging in our warehouse reduces clutter on the job site and can help you achieve your sustainability goals. Kitting and labeling services can include packaging reduction, repackaging (palletizing, crating, shrink wrapping, electrostatic packaging) and labeling by project phase and site location.

Job Trailers and Mobile Storage Solutions

Job trailers increase jobsite agility, optimize delivery costs, support inventory management and organization, simplify re-stocking and improve security. Portable solutions such as CONEX boxes and mobile storage units can be easily moved at various project stages and quickly redeployed to other sites. Vented and insulated CONEX boxes can also protect materials from the elements. Our job trailers and mobile storage solutions can also arrive stocked with job site materials.

Turnaround and Shutdown Solutions

Turnaround and shutdown periods allow for preventative maintenance and repairs. Crews often work around the clock during this period, and a missed step, equipment or material can result in unplanned downtime.

Detailed planning for each phase of a turnaround or shutdown period is critical to completing your objectives. Furthermore, all materials must be available where, when and how they are needed. Wesco’s team of supply chain and project management experts provide proven solutions customized to support you at each phase.
