For senior leaders, change can feel risky. Concerns about disruption, accountability, or added complexity often keep organizations with their incumbent provider even when a stronger solution is within reach. ABM removes that hesitation with a disciplined, proven mobilization approach designed to simplify transitions and deliver lasting value.

Our five-phase process goes beyond a “go-live” milestone. It ensures stability, transparency, and confidence at every step, so you can focus on strategic priorities knowing your facilities are in expert hands.

Phase 1: Plan for performance

As soon as the agreement is in place, ABM launches its mobilization plan. Timelines, resources, and site-specific strategies are aligned early—giving every stakeholder a clear path forward. For multi-site operations, ABM scales quickly by leveraging a national talent network and strong local partnerships.

"From the custodians, all the way to ABM’s management team, I have seen a true commitment to customer service." - Client Testimonial

Phase 2: Validate and align

Before work begins, ABM validates every detail—matching scope to reality through site walks and data review. This step avoids assumptions and ensures operational precision from the start.

For one client, ABM due diligence revealed ways to optimize the staffing model before launch, which freed up their budget for retention and benefits.

Phase 3: Transition with confidence

Deployment is deliberate. ABM’s transition leaders coordinate teams, align vendors, and activate the tools that bring strategy to life. The result is a well-paced, well-supported rollout that minimizes disruption.

In a recent transition, we were able to retrain over 90% of the original maintenance staff within weeks—maintaining continuity and building momentum.

Phase 4: Stabilize for success

Once operations go live, ABM shifts focus to consistent delivery. KPIs are tracked, processes refined, and team performance is calibrated for reliable service. Accountability stays visible and actionable.

"They helped make our transition smooth. They hired existing employees to keep continuity, and increased productivity as well as the cleanliness of our buildings." - Client Testimonial

Phase 5: Transform for long-term impact

As the partnership continues to mature, ABM works side by side with facility leaders to identify enhancements, implement innovation, and turn insight into action. ABM focuses on proving value every day by delivering on your long-term objectives.

One client tripled their inclusion goals by collaborating with ABM to expand diversity in year one.

The ABM differentiator

ABM’s mobilization is not just a transition. It’s a transformation framework. By proving our value in every phase, we remove the risk of change and ensure your facilities strategy drives enterprise goals forward.
