Hospitality FF&E
The moment a guest first enters your hotel, you want them to feel a sense of comfort and warmth, as though they truly are in a “home away from home.” The guest should feel relaxed, happy, satisfied, and comfortable with their room, as well as every other aspect of your hotel, casino or resort. Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment (FF&E) Logistics makes this guest experience possible. There are numerous intricacies in the planning process for a renovation or construction of a hotel, restaurant, retail space or spa.. Once the structure or shell has been built, our team’s responsibility is to bring it to life.

Hotel Logistics Management
The successful handling of any FF&E within a hotel or other hospitality construction project is a crucial part of making sure your guests write a positive review, refer your hotel to friends and colleagues, and come back again and again to associate the location to their experience within your property.The design and application of FF&E within the Hospitality industry affects occupancy rates by attracting new guests as well as the retention of those that enjoyed their experience and want to come back. The staff are on the frontline but the experience is a kaleidoscope of detail, all brought together to create a positive energy and ambience once the guest enters the property. The FF&E quality and condition is a part of the equation that drives some of this perspective. The process of handling and installing sofas, bedding, closets, chairs, desks and other semi-permanent features such as lighting or appliances requires an experienced Hospitality Logistics team. This team is not only critical to an initial outfitting of new construction, but also to an on-going partnership dedicated to creating value together.
FF&E Delivery, Installation and Support
Beltmann Integrated Logistics provides on-time services and proven standard of operating procedures to acheive schedule milestones and quality metrics. Our transportation and logistics processes are aligned with complete, accurate delivery of FF&E items. We provide transparency into each project through clear chain of custody, digital documentation, order and tracking information, starting the moment a project begins all the way to site delivery.
The same guidelines are used for our FF&E installation services once the product reaches the site. The BIL team provides accountability and a record of work that is detailed to how it was completed within our proprietary technology, Total Trak.
While transparent, Beltmann Integrated Logistics holds chain of custody information close with secure access, so sensitive data or personal information is not compromised. This practice is continued throughout your project, including post-install, through ongoing support from our client service representatives.
Hotel Logistics Management
Beltmann Integrated Logistics handles FF&E transportation and logistics not only for hotel and hospitality companies, but restaurants, retail outlets, and healthcare providers that becomes relevant in today’s multi-use projects. The diversity of background and extension of knowledge within other verticals make this a wealth of information that can be applicable to these broader based projects, as well.
If you are renovating your existing hotel or opening a new resort or navigating a multi-use project, our experienced professionals will become an extension of your team and design a program to deliver and install your FF&E products on time and on budget.
