Access and scheduling
Start with the branch that has the firmest date, usually a lease ending, or the most restrictive building. Each manager gives us the last day customers are served, the landlord's rules, the loading point, and who holds the keys. Those go on the branch worksheet next to its inventory.
Buildings vary more than companies expect. A Boston branch may need the freight elevator and dock booked and our insurance certificate sent to management ahead of the date. A branch in a Route 9 or Route 1 plaza may have a rear door but rules on when a truck can use the lot. Before a branch's date is fixed, your operations lead confirms who receives at the new site and whether appointments need to move. Evening and weekend moves are possible on request.
