Alright everyone, let's nail down the logistics for the office move. What's our progress on choosing a moving company?
好了，各位，我们来敲定办公室搬迁的后勤细节。选择搬家公司进展如何了？
I've gotten quotes from three different companies. 'ReloPro' seems to offer the best balance of cost and service. They include packing materials and basic IT dismantling.
我拿到了三家公司的报价。'ReloPro'似乎在成本和服务之间取得了最佳平衡。他们提供打包材料和基本的IT拆卸服务。
That's good to hear. What about packing supplies for our personal desks and departmental files? Should we order those ourselves, or will 'ReloPro' provide enough?
听起来不错。那我们个人办公桌和部门文件的打包用品呢？我们是自己订购，还是'ReloPro'会提供足够的？
They provide enough for general office items. For personal desks, they recommend using individual boxes, which we'll need to source. I can put an order in for those this week.
他们提供足够的一般办公用品。对于个人办公桌，他们建议使用单独的箱子，这需要我们自己采购。我这周可以下订单。
Perfect. And on the IT setup in the new office – have we coordinated with our IT vendor, TechSolutions, to ensure everything's ready to go when we land?
太好了。关于新办公室的IT设置——我们是否已经和我们的IT供应商TechSolutions协调好了，确保我们一搬过去就能正常使用？
Yes, I spoke with them yesterday. They've already done a site visit to the new location and have a clear understanding of the network cabling and equipment installation. They'll be on-site the day before the move.
是的，我昨天和他们谈过了。他们已经去新地点现场视察过，对网络布线和设备安装都有了清晰的了解。他们会在搬家前一天到场。
Great. What about coordination with other vendors like our office supply company and the cleaning service? Do they need access to the new space before we move in?
很好。那和其他供应商的协调呢，比如我们的办公用品公司和清洁服务？他们需要在我们搬入之前进入新空间吗？
Good question, Emily. For office supplies, we can get a delivery made the day after the move. For the cleaning service, yes, they'll need access a few days before to do a deep clean. I'll arrange that with facilities.
问得好，艾米丽。办公用品可以在搬家后的第二天送达。至于清洁服务，是的，他们需要提前几天进入进行深度清洁。我会和设施部门协调。
So, to confirm, I'll proceed with 'ReloPro', order the additional personal packing boxes, and we're good on IT. Sarah will coordinate cleaning and future office supply deliveries.
所以，确认一下，我将继续与'ReloPro'对接，订购额外的个人打包箱，IT方面也已就绪。萨拉将协调清洁和未来的办公用品配送。
Exactly. Looks like we have a solid plan for the logistics and vendor coordination. Let's touch base again next week to review progress.
没错。看来我们在后勤和供应商协调方面有了一个可靠的计划。下周我们再碰头回顾进展。
