Nationwide Technology Rollouts
One program. Pilot to last site.

A nationwide technology rollout is the same scope installed the same way at every site you operate, on a wave calendar, with one closeout package. SRS Networks runs that program for store, branch, warehouse, campus, office, and restaurant footprints — site survey, pilot sites, dual-coast staging, W-2-led field crews, and per-site closeout in the Project Command Center — across the 48 contiguous states, Alaska, and Hawaii.

SRS Networks is a nationwide IT infrastructure deployment partner headquartered in South San Francisco, California, deploying multi-site technology programs for enterprises and channel partners across the 48 contiguous states, Alaska, and Hawaii since 1996. That is 900+ multi-site programs and 10,000+ sites in 30 years, run from 6 offices in 4 states with West Coast and East Coast staging facilities.

This page is the program view. The network layer lives on multi-site network deployment, the cabling layer on multi-site cabling rollouts, and the account structure — onboarding, dedicated program team, standing rate card — on national accounts.

One program covers every site type you operate

The wave model, the staging discipline, and the closeout package are the same in each environment. What changes is the work window, the vendor-security paperwork, and the materials kit. Corporate office programs that are tenant-improvement work rather than relocations run through tenant improvement IT; the full vertical list is on the industries hub.

Nine steps carry a program from survey to post-go-live dispatch

The sequence below has run in 900+ multi-site programs. The detail behind each step is on how we deploy; the portal that carries the status, photos, and closeouts is the Project Command Center.

01

Site survey and readiness

Every site gets a survey before it gets a work order: photos of the MDF and IDF, pathway condition, available power, ceiling type, access hours, escort and badging rules. A site that fails readiness is flagged on the schedule before its wave, not discovered by a crew standing in a locked closet.

02

One scope, one SOW, one materials kit

Before a crew rolls, your scope becomes one master plan: an identical work order, an identical materials kit, and an identical spec for every site. Brand standards — jack color, faceplate, labeling format, signage placement — are written into the site SOW and audited against every site at closeout. A site that deviates is handled as a scoped exception you can see, not an average you absorb.

03

Pilot sites before the first wave

Every program over roughly 25 sites starts with pilot sites, not with the full wave. The pilots run while vendor onboarding paperwork clears, and they do three jobs: prove the scope on real buildings, surface the site-survey gaps, and lock the closeout package every later site is measured against. Nothing advances to the first wave until the pilot closeout has been accepted in the Project Command Center.

04

Wave calendar and program reporting

Sites deploy in regional waves on a published crew calendar, and a wave advances when the prior wave's closeouts have been accepted. You get three things on a cadence, not a Friday spreadsheet. Live: per-site status, tech check-ins, and geo-stamped photos in the Project Command Center. Weekly: an automated program report covering completion rate, deployment velocity, open exceptions, and change-order totals, delivered as PDF or CSV. At closeout: the per-site document package, exportable by API into your PSA or ticketing system.

05

Staging and kitting at the West and East Coast facilities

Gear does not drop-ship to sites at scale. It ships to our West Coast or East Coast staging facility, whichever is nearer the rollout, where it is received, asset-tagged, configured, labeled per site, and shipped as a complete kit to a named recipient on a delivery window. Below about five sites, drop-ship is fine and we will say so.

Drop-shipping gear to site fails roughly one time in six. We learned that across a few hundred direct-to-site shipments tracked over a year: wrong address, locked dock, no signature, the GC did not notify the front desk, the box refused as not on the schedule. Every failed receipt is a return trip someone pays for, and at 200+ sites the math is brutal. Pre-staged shipments fail under one in fifty. The receiving, kitting, and chain-of-custody detail is on equipment staging and logistics.

06

Field execution under an in-house W-2 lead

An in-house W-2 SRS lead runs every site and owns the standard, the crew, and the closeout package. Coverage density comes from a vetted W-9 subcontractor bench under 24-month agreements with a 150-mile non-compete, working to our runbook and labeling scheme. Every COI — ours and every sub's — is audited in the Project Command Center against the site's limits, additional-insured language, and expiration before a truck rolls. A sub who cannot hold the standard at one site does not get the next one.

07

Exceptions and change control

When a site does not match the survey — locked IDF, missing power, a pathway that is not there — the crew lead logs it in the Project Command Center with photos the same day. Your project manager owns the fix and tells you before anyone on site does, with a plan attached. A change order is priced from the unit rate schedule signed with the MSA, not negotiated site by site, and nothing beyond the signed SOW is installed until you sign off. Change orders roll up in the Project Command Center, so you see the aggregate adds across the program, not one surprise at a time.

08

Per-site closeout package

Closeout is a per-site package, not a verbal sign-off. It contains as-built drawings, port-to-panel schedules, certification results for every copper link and fiber strand, a device inventory with serial numbers, photos of the rack and every installed device, the labeling schedule, and a punch list signed clear by the site contact. It is delivered in one format from the pilot site to the last site, and it is yours to keep.

09

Post-go-live dispatch: P1, P2, P3

Nationwide break-fix covers the same states we install in. P1: 4-hour onsite response, 24/7. P2: next business day onsite. P3: within five business days. Response is dispatched against the as-builts we delivered, so the tech arrives knowing the closet layout. Under about 50 miles in a dense metro a local shop will beat those numbers on drive time — that is the honest boundary of a national model.

Post-program changes — a new endcap, a relocated office, an added camera — run from the same unit rate schedule and the same site records through moves, adds, and changes.

It runs in the 48 contiguous states, Alaska, and Hawaii, under one MSA

One MSA and one rate structure cover every state. Alaska and Hawaii run through the Anchorage, Fairbanks, Honolulu, and Kahului markets. Those sites run on the same architecture and the same project manager as a mainland site; the only difference is materials lead time, shown as its own line on the schedule. Work is coordinated from South San Francisco HQ and offices in Salinas, Pasadena, Boise, Boston, and Dallas. The market-by-market list is on nationwide coverage.

Two buyers run the same program

Enterprises hold the MSA directly. Channel partners hold it on behalf of their client. The crews, the staging, and the closeout do not change.

Enterprise programs, direct

A program office at a retailer, bank, 3PL, health system, or multi-office firm holds the MSA. One program manager owns the account; site schedulers, regional field leads, and closeout reviewers report to them, so you never re-explain your standards to a new project manager mid-program. Your program office sees what our program office sees in the Project Command Center.

How a national account is structured

Channel partners, under your brand

Registered deals are locked to you and non-solicitation of your end client is written into the MSA. We do not resell hardware, software, or managed services, so there is nothing for us to pitch your client after the install. Crews work under your brand, closeout lands on your template, and direct inquiries from your client route back to you — every time. We have executed under partner brands since the early 2000s because crossing that line would end the business.

White-label deployment terms

The commercial terms fit on one card

NET 30 is standard. Project work orders bill 40/30/30: 40 percent at kickoff, 30 at midpoint signoff, 30 at completion signoff. We do not take a margin on hardware — cable, panels, switches, and APs sit on your PO or your client's. Per-site pricing comes from a unit rate schedule by site type, signed with the MSA and reused for every change order. W-9, COI, MSA, and NDA templates are available from partners@srsnetworks.com.

Published per-site ranges, program-management percentages, and contingency guidance are on the multi-site IT deployment cost page, and the same numbers appear on every SRS pricing page.

When SRS is not the right rollout company

If you run one site in one metro and need a few drops pulled, hire a local low-voltage shop — our coordination overhead does not pay back below roughly 25 sites, and a same-metro installer wins on drive time. If your gear changes per site and cannot be kitted, the pre-staging model will not help either; direct drop-ship is cheaper, and we will tell you so at scoping.

Where we earn the call at low site counts is work spread across states, tied to a go-live date that cannot slip, or that has to repeat identically later.

Straight answers on nationwide rollout programs

The questions program offices and channel partners ask before the MSA is signed.

A nationwide technology rollout is one scope — network, cabling, WiFi, POS, cameras, access control, or a mix — installed identically at every site an organization operates, across states, on a wave calendar. It differs from a series of local installs in three ways: one master work order and materials kit, pre-staged gear instead of drop-ship, and a per-site closeout package delivered in one format. SRS Networks has run 900+ of these programs across 10,000+ sites since 1996.
