The challenge

Our client, a global leader in specialty chemicals, faced a complex, multi-dimensional challenge that required both strategic vision and meticulous execution:

• Brand fragmentation: Following years of acquisitions, multiple legacy brands were operating with inconsistent visual identities
• Global scale: 200 manufacturing and administrative sites across diverse geographic locations with varying regulations
• Asset visibility gaps: Limited documentation of existing branded assets with classification inconsistencies
• Chemical industry regulations: Stringent safety and compliance requirements for signage in hazardous environments
• Coordination hurdles: Managing vendors in remote and highly regulated chemical production facilities
• Stakeholder alignment: Ensuring buy-in across diverse business units with strong legacy brand attachments

Our approach

We implemented a structured approach built on data-driven decision making:

1. Comprehensive asset assessment: Deployed pre-visit questionnaires and survey tools integrated with monday.com to create accurate visual inventories

2. Governance structure: Established weekly progress reviews and monthly Steering Committee meetings with stakeholders

3. Team alignment: Connected company's central teams with local implementation resources through a French project management hub

Technology-driven execution

Our success hinged on three integrated technology pillars:

1. Centralized data management

• Survey tools feeding directly into monday.com for real-time data collection
• Visual inventory database tracking before/after states of all branded elements
• Approval workflows ensure brand compliance across all locations

2. Automated workflows

• Reduced manual intervention through automated processes, increasing team efficiency
• Standardized documentation and reporting improve visibility and accountability

3. Coordinated global implementation
