A furniture sale is not complete until the right pieces reach the right room in good condition. Build dispatch around order verification, access notes, protective handling and clear proof of delivery.
Use dedicated trips for premium, urgent or fragile orders and planned multi-stop routes for compatible deliveries. Do not mix items simply because they share a suburb; sequence by vehicle capacity, time windows and unloading access.
