Same-building delivery desk in Kenya

Run a parcel-receiving desk inside a building with management approval.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional same-building desk DESK-16 operates a parcel receiving desk for one office building for a four-hour weekday window. The building manager authorises receipt of up to thirty ordinary sealed parcels, each linked to an opted-in tenant suite, with same-day tenant pickup. The output is a private incoming register, shelf location record and a pickup acknowledgement. Food requiring temperature control, cash, medicines, hazardous packages, unidentified goods and overnight storage are excluded. Sample entry P014 records courier reference, suite 204, received 11:05, shelf B2 and collected 12:20 by the tenant's authorised colleague.

Who is the first customer?

Office blocks and managed apartment buildings.
