INFRASTRUCTURE

Essential infrastructure

We are ready to handle your shopfitting project anywhere in Europe. After years of dedication and hard work we are currently present in 12 countries. We believe that nothing is impossible and all limitations are self-imposed.

We have tested a variety of business models to refine our approach, identify effective time and cost saving strategies and ensure timely deliveries.

At AM Smart, we embrace challenges and believe that nothing is impossible, and time is the only limitation.

We operate across Europe, and with projects delivered thousands of kilometres away from our headquarters, we must always be ready to face the unexpected. This includes local public holidays, local ways of doing things, local procedures, and, perhaps most frequently, the local understanding of what ‘we’re ready!’ really means. Apparently, the phrase seems to have significantly different meanings across Europe.

We have seen a lot, including newly-erected buildings without windows, shopping mall corridors lined with a red carpet, a tractor with a trailer provided by a local company instead of a delivery truck, or an access road that ends abruptly just a few metres away from the entrance to a new shopping mall.

This is why being well prepared is essential. By asking the right questions beforehand, we gain valuable time that helps us solve any unexpected challenges.

At AM Smart, we transform exceptional circumstances into standardized procedures and turn problems into items on our pre-installation checklist.

Our projects often have so many inherent limitations that they seem unfeasible at the first glance. But with meticulous planning and careful preparation, we always deliver them successfully.

Yes, we do like challenges, but we equally like staying relaxed while sipping our morning coffee on the installation day.

Our success is based on several key factors

Local installation teams

Local coordinators

these dedicated individuals handle all practical aspects of the project. They speak the local language, understand local conditions, easily navigate local procedures, thus ensuring regulatory compliance. Should anything unexpected happen, they will know whom to ask.

Headquarters in Poznań, Poland: our ultimate authority, a team that fully grasps our core principles, relishes the challenge of delivering complex projects, and thrives on the satisfaction derived from a smile on the client’s face. This is what inspires us to tackle even the most daunting projects that others consider unfeasible.

Delivery of a shopfitting project at the other end of Europe can be a daunting task, especially if you're venturing into a new territory. In theory, our world has embraced remote work and almost everyone speaks English. However, practical challenges often arise. To keep a lid on project costs, we often rely on small, local businesses, usually sole traders, who typically speak only their native language. This is where globalization falls short.

Local regulations too can pose unexpected hurdles, ranging from simple matters like restricted access to city centres and the need for obtaining a permit from local authorities, to more time-consuming and costly issues like licensing for installers, local health and safety training, and compliance requirements that must be met by the installation company. While the internet is ubiquitous, the websites of most public authorities will only contain documentation, guidelines, and advice for entrepreneurs in the local language.

This is where our local coordinators come in handy.

All of them have the necessary local knowledge and speak the local language fluently. They possess an intimate understanding of local procedures, regulations, and bureaucratic processes. Additionally, they are well-versed in the applicable laws and can effectively navigate any obstacles they encounter, knowing exactly whom to consult for guidance.
