## Every vendor has someone in the room

Each vendor at the table speaks for its own company and its own margin. Your project needs one voice that speaks for the project.

An owner's representative is that voice. Bluestem protects scope, schedule and budget while keeping all parties aligned.

## How Bluestem acts as your representative

As your owner's representative, Bluestem weighs each decision against your project alone. You decide, and Bluestem makes sure every vendor works from your decision.

Our project managers are experienced and PMP-trained, with hands-on experience in conveyor systems, automation projects, controls coordination and MHE installations. We know where projects fail and how to prevent those failures.

## How owner's representation fits the other services

Owner's representation is the role. End-to-end project management is one way to buy that role: a Bluestem project manager runs the whole project. Technical and coordination support and the hourly bank give you the same vendor-neutral view on a smaller scope.

## Questions about owner's representation

### What does an owner's representative do on a warehouse automation project?

An owner's representative works for the owner and not for any vendor. Bluestem protects scope, schedule and budget and keeps engineering, vendors, integrators and installers aligned. Each owner decision gets support from facts about what is best for the project.

### Why does vendor-neutral matter?

Every decision we support is focused on what is best for your project, not what improves someone else's margin. Our role is to protect scope, schedule, and budget while keeping all parties aligned.

### Who does an owner's representative keep aligned?

Bluestem acts as a single point of coordination across engineering, vendors, integrators, installers, and internal stakeholders.
