Ordering Process

To begin the process, Departments may want to send out the "Welcome to Wayne" letter, designed by Procurement to help facilitate the new hire's relocation. Undoubtedly, this is a time of excitement as well as uncertainty for our new hires as they plan for their many upcoming changes. In order to make their transition to our area easier, and to take advantage of these services, please call the one of the relocation experts below.

Procurement & Strategic Sourcing is here to help as well, Valerie Kreher, Senior Buyer will work with the department and the new hire to coordinate with either of the movers to obtain a cost estimate and to schedule a move. 

Once a quote has been obtained, the department should create a requisition in WayneBuy and submit for approval and processing in the normal manner.  A special form is available under the WayneBuy Forms section, which will facilitate the preparation of your req.  The form includes elementary items like the pick-up and destination locations, the driving distance, and value of the goods for insurance purposes.
