In order to ssh to a pi at a remote branch that your router is behind someone else's router, you're going to need them to forward the ssh port (whatever port that needs to be) of their router to yours. And you might end up having to deal with a double NAT situation, and that can lead to vpn issues (do Google "double NAT").
You could setup a VM in aws that will be the entry point for everyone, then all the locations setup a tunnel to that. When you need to access a remote location, you use that tunnel. When the location needs access to your central location, it also goes through those tunnels.
The problem now is that you need to pay for that aws setup. Some remote access package might be cheaper depending on the amount of traffic.
The remote access also offers the ability to not require any port forwarding (like realvnc does).
If this is a business it should find money somewhere so that this can be done securely and jna reliable way that is simply going to work, it does not matter if it is a Pi or some remote connection software.
Also, all of this seems to be too much hacking around for a business who must stay open so people can get paid.
Better to find money and pay for something secure and reliable than get your business back and held for ransom.
Just my 2 cents.
Good luck.
